Response to Original message |
| 58. Welcome to DU, and if people are being truly abusive |
|
use the alert button.
We all develop groups of "fans." That's the truth.
Also the web is pretty anonymous so folks will tell you to (insert insult here) that they'd never tell you to your face.
So growing a thick skin is also needed.
And here, well you got from the "far left," or as far as is socially acceptable in the US... to the far right of the democratic party. So take your pick.
