A thank you to Skinner and the mods for our "safe haven"

[steve2470]

I know running DU must seem like a thankless task at times, but I, and I'm sure most of us, really do appreciate all the effort that you do here. It is an oasis of sanity (relatively speaking) in a country that is slowing growing insane.

Thank you so much.

1. I personally think they should keep one or two of the trolls around, just so we have

someone to kick around and cuss out so we aren't taking our frustrations out on each other... that's why I go to craigslist politics forum sometimes... just to let off steam....

2. Agree - from all-too-red Mississippi

I don't know what I'd do without DU. Kicked and recommended! :kick:

3. I'm reminded of my favorite quote from animal farm:

All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others

[Ian David]

4. I second that, kick it, and contribute photos!

5. "...an oasis of sanity (relatively speaking)..."

Cheers & Thanks to Skinner and to all here who make up this fabulous albeit crazy slice of Democracy.

6. From scarlet Maricopa County, AZ--Bless you, Skinner, Elad, and EarlG!

I so need this place.

And a big ol' tip o' the beanie to the mods for their vastly underappreciated service. I used to moderate a siabetes board and even it could get contentious (the Atkins diet--yeegads!), but it was a kindergarten fight compared to this place.

7. I am not in a red state, but I still am hooked on DU, and am very grateful for its existence.

8. ah.

indeed.

9. It's certainly been an oasis for me - in a vast desert of desolation.

Thank God for DU!

I LOVE this place and everybody here. You've kept me sane, and better-informed than I ever thought I could be.

:toast: :grouphug:

10. I certainly agree.

Started coming here right after Coup 2000. Safe haven indeed! :hug:
