30. Thank you! That's very kind of you to say. I'm glad you found the group! Mob is a good word for it!

They DO come in here, and have shut down perfectly good posts with alerts and jury votes, but for the most part, it's a great haven from the chaos.

I thought 2008 was bad, but it was a picnic compared to this. I've trashed and untrashed GDP soooo many times lately...Everyone has been pretty kind to me in GDP, but it gets so frustrating to see all the attacks happening on good people. And also seeing all the right wing hit pieces that never would have been allowed to stand before, just makes me sick. I'm always thinking about what a new voter coming here for information and fellowship must think of this place.

I was posting not too long ago about how great DU used to be. Working together, calling our congress critters when something needed to be done...now there is so much rancor. I wish i'd been here in the beginning with you and the others! It must have been both heartbreaking, and yet exciting to grow a community after the (s)election happened. I didnt find DU until 2004.
