1. I think you gave nearly as good as you got.

Although I haven't seen the latest fuss of which you speak. Can you link to that?

2. Probably this.

It was a good hide.

4. But he said in the OP that it was about Obama. nt

[Autumn]

8. Must be something else then, I didn't read that part.

Didn't get past the title line. Thought it had to do with the 5 hides and a time out Skinner implemented. He's on 4 now.

[Siwsan]

3. Oh no! I always enjoy your posts!!

Brush off the haters. People lash out from frustration. There are still plenty of good people on DU, but we don't want to lose a single one.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

7. I appreciate it. I will be back

In plenty of time to ring in 2014 and discuss midterms.

[VanillaRhapsody]

5. I understand....they have pulled that on me too. If you leave you are letting the h8trs win...

I vote you stay and fight the good fight with us!

[Pretzel_Warrior]

6. Thanks. I will fight through other means for a time

Cheers

9. Take a break, go to LBN, and other groups you like and always find time

to stop by here.

"We aren't going anywhere".

10. It would help if you didn't get nasty with some of your fellow Obama supporters.

You have shocked me recently.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

11. Care to point those posts out buddy?

You have no standing with me. Your recent posts about Obamacare and other Obama-related posts have been deplorable.

[kestrel91316]

13. If you don't like my consistent support for Obama and enthusiastic support for ACA,

maybe this really ISN'T the place for you.

How is it deplorable that I say I am hanging in there with applying for insurance through the exchanges in spite of their software issues? How is it deplorable to express my gratitude that, for the first time in several years, I will be able to buy affordable medical insurance that won't bankrupt me if I actually need to use it? How is it deplorable that I still love my President in spite of him disappointing me on more than one occasion and even pissing me off royally a few times?

And do you ALWAYS refer to women as "buddy"??????

You completely lost me the other day when I was worried that the repukes were going to find a way to NOT end the shutdown in spite of their crowing about a "deal". It speaks volumes that you took them at their word and that I didn't.

[kestrel91316]

15. 12 posts hidden in the past 90 days???? SERIOUSLY?????????????/

There's a "hater" here in this picture, alright.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

16. Read through those hides

Go ahead. You will see in vast majority I am not being rude to fellow DU'ers. There are just people who will always look for a reason to hide when said post is from someone they personally don't agree with. I try to not get personal with people but I also speak my mind passionately.

[BlueStreak]

14. If one finds a pattern of many different people not appreciating one's "contributions" to the forum

then one might do well to see if one can identify a common element.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

18. His me taking a break and stating that in BOG

Rather than in the cesspool of GD. After my break, I won't be seeing your garbage because you, Bluestreak, are my very first DU ignore.

[IrishAyes]

12. Pretzel, get yourself back here NOW!

Really, please, don't let the creeps get to you. Stomp off for a breath of fresh air if you must, but don't be a stranger. Instead come back (fast) renewed for the struggle. WE NEED YOU. I try to stay away from the haters as much as possible, and when I can't, I give them a good sharp kick in the shins or bite their ankles and then go on about my business. Most of all, I'm as territorial as the chows I used to raise. If the jerks are able to make you leave for more than a brief gulp of fresh air, they'll be winning. We can't let that happen. I don't give a fig if they hate me, and hating President Obama hasn't got them very far, has it?

I'll even loan you my favorite heirloom set of brass knuckles if you promise to hurry back.

[Old and In the Way]

17. Sorry to hear this.

I saw the post that got hidden. I guess hoping that jailed rapists directly experience the same trauma as their victim is too much for some here. Or maybe some just don't like your opinions on other things and used this as a club to attack you. Hope you hang in here, though.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

19. For the reading challenged, I said it was likely

Not that I hoped it would happen or should happen. But hey, why let nuance get in the way of judgement?

[Old and In the Way]

20. Now you're insulting me?

Whatever.

[Pretzel_Warrior]

21. Leaving for now

Have been some ups and downs. But I love this group.

If any want to stay in touch off DU, my email you can reach me at is [e-mail]

Now self-deleting so the peanut gallery will have to comment somewhere other than here.
