I'm staying on DU & will continue to exercise my God- and Constitutional-

[Deja Q]

right to practice free speech, albeit responsibly (generally O8)).

(you can imagine which thread spawned all these "I'm staying on DU" threads.)

1. Shoot

Why do I always miss the good stuff? I guess I'll have to stick around.

2. Well, I'll also admit I generally hang out in the lounge...

where I'm known to be as wacky and absurd as Woody Woodpecker on crack... :-)

7. I'm beginning

to want to leave again, also. I can just take so much of anonymous people posting rude replies to others, then I need a rest from it. I usually stay away from everything but Latest Breaking. I don't post much because of prevalent "attitudes," although I'm one of the originals on this site. It's a shame when one of our best (not me by any stretch of the imagination) can't take it any more. It's a shame when that person has done more than 99% of the people here to really accomplish something. I'm certain that everyone has a period when they are feeling fragile and vulnerable. It's also a shame that other's can't have empathy for that. I'm glad that life outside the internet isn't anonymous. Anonymous people can really enjoy "twisting the knife," as it were.

9. If people are feeling "fragile and vulnerable"

maybe they shouldn't post a long goodbye cruel world post filled with pictures of them.

8. You have NO right to free speech

I have it on good authority that you are not a human, and therefore are not protected by any of our "earthly" laws.

Unfortunately Michael Jackson has not been as forthcoming, and is currently mired in the local legal system when he really falls under the jurisdiction of the 23rd District Court of the Milky Way. :)
