In reply to the discussion: Well, hi there DU! How’re y’all doin’? Whatcha been up to? [View all]calimary
(80,699 posts)12. I did what you did, DFW. Took some time away back in August.
I'm back now, too. And it's a lot more like the DU I remembered so fondly - where the comradeship was warm and inclusive, and the discussion was scintillating and sometimes most educational (in a good way)! Glad you're back. I'm glad I'm back, too. But it was VERY helpful and healing to step away for awhile.
We're so much better here when we're not at each other's throats. And we all recognize the REAL enemy - the common enemy we all share.

Hi DFW, I'm glad to have you back. I appreciate your world view, and your "insider" view here, too.

I was gone too, named Teacher of the Year, then fired when I said I was gay in public.
