You're Not Agnostic, You're An Atheist

152. I come to DU

the vast majority of days, usually multiple times a day - but I only post, on average, about once a day (naturally not daily but that's my average rate). I posted more at the beginning but I don't really want to spend my leisure time "stepping around the cow pies" as you put it . Particularly egregious cows definitely end up on my ignore list - the challenge with ignore, of course, is you have to be comfortable with letting them have the last word . Since the perception of me that people I don't know have and their (most likely smug) satisfaction of having gotten in the last word are basically irrelevant to me, I don't have a problem with that. My triumphs come from much more immediate sources than the internet.

I use DU get a progressive perspective on current issues, not just the news but things people say here. As I said in an earlier post, I've learned a lot and sometimes changed my mind about things because of DU and I'm much more informed than some of my connections thanks to DU. And more often than not I just walk away from the discussions that make my blood boil rather than engaging - I find that is much better for my sanity.
