I love DU.

[MIButterfly]

I was a lurker for many, many years before I became a member.

I love being among like-minded people. I love that there's something for everyone and it's a safe place to express an opinion. I really care about the wonderful people here. I usually check in several times a day.

What I do not like is when a poster is vitriolic toward another poster. I've seen it happen to others before and I didn't like it. I feel like I was viciously attacked in a response to a post I made earlier. I was told I should "CARE ENOUGH TO PAY ATTENTION!" and that there are "too many dunces not paying attention already" and to "WAKE UP!" I don't even know how to respond to that, so I didn't.

I would ask that people consider their words more carefully. I don't like being lectured or made to feel stupid.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.
