93. See what I miss by having people on Ignore. A lot of mean-spirited posters don't show on my radar.

Fixated is right. It's none of his business. That's for doctors and Manning.

Other posters there say the military won't give hormone therapy nor different housing.

If true, that is grounds for release, or so I've read on other threads.

My Ignore list prevents me seeing hate, as I put mean-spirited, hateful posters on Ignore fast.

I'd remove such posters from my list to learn what is going on, but the fact is, I can't stand to read the hate anymore.

It's why I came to DU in the first place, it was making me sick. I'll keep coming to this group to check the waters.

Thanks for giving an example as DU doesn't need this. Think how many people now read this on DU and think that's what Democrats are about.

IDK any commited party members like that in IRL.

That was just awful.
