We always lose people during the primaries. This place gets really stressful.

And this primary season was the worst we've had, in my experience.

I hope not, but I can understand.

I just hope we all come back together.

Hope she comes back.

I hate to see good posters gone just because of the primaries, though I understand some have hard feelings.

But dayum, I truly believe we're all stronger together.

There's room for all of us here.

Plenty here that take it like a knife in their backs.

I've never posted to ANY of the off-sites and will just stay right here. But, being on MIRT, sometimes leads you there.

I enjoyed my time on MIRT and found it eye opening.

I never seemed to acquire some of the skills of many there, however. DU owes a lot to our good MIR team members!

She gave me permission to post what she said to me.

Well, that's sweet. You can tell them that I'm alive and well, not posting much anywhere. I just couldn't bring myself to sign a loyalty oath, and I think it kind of bites that a person can't even recommend a post without jumping through that hoop. If they drop that after the election, I might come back, but the tone of the place really put me off. Too many bossy people that I don't know or trust. When it got to the point where I had almost 200 people on ignore, I knew it was time to go.
