I was glad to see her brilliant, impassioned writing back on DU after an absence. I don't know her "IRL," but it felt like the return of an old friend. She raised the level of discussion here immensely. I count her among a few DU "heroes" of mine.

Don't blame her being a bit fed up on her way out, but no one tossing arrows her way is even remotely on her level, so I didn't think much about it or consider she needed any defending.

I have a feeling she'll be back at some point.

I'll be looking forward to that.

It's the hypocrisy -- the additional hypocrisy -- of the same cadre insisting *their* other site villager Nov 2015 #16

Yup and some of the comments on this very site nadinbrzezinski Nov 2015 #19
