And I have a confession: I had a crush on him (in a DU personae way only) several summers ago. I could no longer take the contentious Obama threads in GD back then & for the first time, I began checking out the Lounge after years of ignoring it in favor of focusing on GWB discussions in GD.
I liked the name "MiddleFingerMom" right away. It attracted my attention enough to want to know what's on the inside of his subject lines. I think he could have been a great comedy writer; I liked the way he could take a corny idea & turn it into something clever.
I initially thought MFM was a woman. I've enjoyed SoCalDem's writing style & humor for years & was beginning to wonder if this "MFM" could actually be a SoCalDem (sorry--> ) sock ; their humor & intelligence struck me as similar.
He had integrity. At times he needed moral support, he gave the benefit of the doubt to those who posted unkind things to him/about him. That's right; in private e-mails, which would only be read by the two of us, he gave them the benefit of the doubt. Pettiness wasn't his style; he never said an unkind word toward anyone in my exchanges with him. He was that good of a person.
I'm stunned. I enjoyed his presence on DU so much. He will be missed tremendously.
