In reply to the discussion: I'm not reading your post if it has a crawling bug [View all]bvar22
(39,909 posts)I never liked the animated bug either, but when a small group of members went offsite,
and started alert stalking some of our best and brightest
for the purpose of getting them banned, the bug became a symbol of resistance against the authoritarian plotters, cowards, and sneaks.
It is also a wave to, and a token of respect for the brothers and sisters that have been lost.
I'm sure they are seen by the banned who occasionally come her to read Latest News,
GD,GDP, and the Sanders group.
I really couldn't care less if some don't like it that we commemorate those who we have respected for years for their thoughtful posts and real contributions of CONTENT to DU.
DU is worse because of this small group of plotters and sneaks.
The first people to be attacked in an Authoritarian Society are the Best & Brightest,
those who "Think for Themselves" and dare to "Question Authority".
(thanks, Timothy)!
I miss them, their thoughtful posts, the added content, the intelligent discussions, the humor, and camaraderie we shared for years, and that is why the bugs will remain for a while in my sig line. The purpose is not to irritate, but to remember and honor the Best & The Brightest who have been run off of DU because of their Liberal Opinions and support of Liberal Democrats.
