My DU swansong
Please forgive this egotistical post to say goodbye, I'll no longer be posting at DU.

I've become addicted, I love it, and that's why I have to quit; it keeps me up too late at night, and I even post while at work (like now). It has taken away precious time with my family and doing other constructive things.

I'm going to continue to be as active as I can in dem politics in the brick-and-mortar world, and I will wholeheartedly support the democratic nominee whoever it is.

I may come to DU to look in the future, but I won't be posting.

It's been so fun, and informative, so thanks to everybody, especially Sangha who proved me wrong on Affirmative Action.

Last Words:


Bush is sub-human scum, and is going DOWN in 04.
We are right, we are the party of morality and decency.
All the democrat candidates in 04 are good and have something to recommend them.
After attending the NAACP convention Monday, I'm more convinced than ever that I am in the right party, the Democratic party.

Keep up the great discussion folks, see ya around.

2. What? Is this some sort of 12 step WWW program?
:-)

I understand what you're doing and know two other DU'ers that have done the same thing recently just because it was cutting into too much precious time.

You're in Miami, no? I'm in Sarasota so if you're ever in the area, or something crazy is happening in Miami, PM me.

Good luck with all of your new pursuits!

Michael

3. You KNOW you will "backslide"
At least stop in on the weekend, and say "hi"..

:hi: We will miss you, but you know in your heart that you will be back :)

9. What!?! Leave DU, and go back out into the World with the crazy
Bushloving, God Bless America freaks? Even my husband has said, since I have found DU, I am much easier to get along with because I've finally met people I agree with...Instead of hanging out on the idiotic, "we'll kick your ass, or report you to the FBI" AOL Boards. Don't Do It!!! But, if you must, Good luck...

14. Take a break and come back
We all have that problem at some time. I just got done with a spat with the SO, she used DU against me in the little arguement, but usually she's fine with it...

But you've gotta get away!!!

I say this after being here since about 10am...

:evilgrin:
