The letter writer must LOVE the attention the letters is causing on the DU. nt Logical Sep 2015 #72

I doubt the anonymous letter writer expected Bravenak to go public. pnwmom Sep 2015 #73

I bet the writer is a POS who loves the attention. Disruption the DU. nt Logical Sep 2015 #74

It's not causing any disruption. It's actually bringing people together. pnwmom Sep 2015 #76

We disagree on this. nt Logical Sep 2015 #79

Oh yes he/she did tblue Sep 2015 #190

I think so too. I think the letter writer would be a person who loves the attention, even negative. Tipperary Sep 2015 #198
