My personal philosophy about DU

[ellenrr]

5. I hate the one-up-manship on DU, yet I've done it myself...,

when I catch myself doing it, I know it is time to take a break.
I think yr comment (OP) is so reasonable, and so rare on DU.

It seems like generally on du sarcasm reigns supreme.

wonder why that is.

it is unfortunate, bec. if one can separate the wheat from the chaff, there are a lot of creative, interesting, intelligent, kind people here.

I started to come often to du when I didn't sleep for a month or so. I'd doze for maybe an hour or so, but be awake for the better part of the night. So it was nice to be able to communicate with some folk when most people are asleep.

some of the forums (esp. GD) are so wearing, I often think I should leave. But then people tell me about forums (groups) which I didn't know existed,- like this one- and I just discovered the "state" groups, so I am exploring around.

And I found some real compassionate sensitive people who responded to a post on the Environment forum/Group.

Which it is always nice to meet such.

thanks for this post.
