I would like to show my appreciation for bravenak

[William769]

My dear friend with what you have had to endure this past month no one should have to. I realize you may not know me very well, but trust me when I say I know you and what you post. You are a beacon of hope here on DU and I would hope that your light continues to shine brightly as ever.

You speak nothing but the truth and you look out for those that need it (I can not praise you enough).

Keep up the good fight and don't ever let them get you down. You have my admiration.

This message transcends all politics and is only coming from my heart.

Be well my friend.

P.S. I posted this in a protected Group to ensure no other Hosts... Well you all get my meaning.

And to all who enter here.

But I would kick and recommend this a million times if I could.

She's one of the ones that keeps me around here. She speaks the truth, and a damn good version of it, at that.

Cheers to you, Bravenak

amidst a sea of nonsense.

Great thread.

[okasha]

27. Thanl you, bravenak. You fight the good fight.

[BainsBane]

28. I love Bravenak

And I am pissed off about how she has been treated. Note, she is not a Clinton supporter, and I do not care in the least. She cares about real issues, and she cares about people. She's a much needed voice on this site.

[sheshe2]

34. +1000

[Cha]

37. Nor do I care that she doesn't support Hillary.. this is way beyond the Dem Presidential

Candidates.

29. I don't mean to intrude.

Although I don't support your candidate, I certainly admire and support Bravnak. She has a Right to post her conscience and has given me support at a time I certainly didn't deserve it it.

If the posts are harsh, they are nevertheless a truth that needs to be addressed by everyone, not just our candidates.

[MuseRider]

30. I agree.

I don't know how she manages to deal with it all yet she does.

I read she was almost to "time out" level. I am assuming that happened? I do so hope not but if it has happened she can read this so to bravenak, PLEASE return when your time out is over. We need you no matter who you support.

Be well.

*edit because I am half asleep and an idiot to boot

[riversedge]

32. Thanks for the OP

[bravenak]

35. Thank you.

36. Mahalo William.. That is so right! bravenak is..

"You are a beacon of hope here on DU and I would hope that your light continues to shine brightly as ever."

The same goes for you, William!

45. she is one of my favorites here! I have much respect for her.

I pay attention to what she has to say even if we aren't always on the same side. she has much dignity and is fearless.

[NCTraveler]

46. Very nice appreciation op.

Very kind words and all true. I think it says a lot in all ways that someone who is no fan of Clinton gets so much respect in here. Speaks so highly to their character and the temperament of a majority of this group.

[Gothmog]

47. She is a brave person who has a great point of view

[Evergreen Emerald]

48. Ditto

I just read the last jury hide. It was a thought provoking article from a different point of view. It was hidden because of the gang mentality here attempting to shut down conversation that may question Sanders. So much for democracy.

[Spazito]

49. Well said!

Bravenak's voice will be very much missed, her courage and humor while educating me and others on issues that are crucial to the black community have made here posts must-reads for me.

[Agschmid]

50. Kick.

This sucks.

56. I recced this and then forgot to post in it. D'oh.

Thanks for kicking this up. Kick!

[gwheezie]

52. Thank you brave

I've learned so much from you and several others in the AA group.

[Hekate]

53. Love Bravenak and love you too for bringing this here to a protected Group

Can't think of anything to add to what you said. Just thanks.
