Brush off the haters. People lash out from frustration. There are still plenty of good people on DU, but we don't want to lose a single one.

maybe this really ISN'T the place for you.

How is it deplorable that I say I am hanging in there with applying for insurance through the exchanges in spite of their software issues? How is it deplorable to express my gratitude that, for the first time in several years, I will be able to buy affordable medical insurance that won't bankrupt me if I actually need to use it? How is it deplorable that I still love my President in spite of him disappointing me on more than one occasion and even pissing me off royally a few times?

And do you ALWAYS refer to women as "buddy"??????

You completely lost me the other day when I was worried that the repukes were going to find a way to NOT end the shutdown in spite of their crowing about a "deal". It speaks volumes that you took them at their word and that I didn't.

Go ahead. You will see in vast majority I am not being rude to fellow DU'ers. There are just people who will always look for a reason to hide when said post is from someone they personally don't agree with. I try to not get personal with people but I also speak my mind passionately.

Really, please, don't let the creeps get to you. Stomp off for a breath of fresh air if you must, but don't be a stranger. Instead come back (fast) renewed for the struggle. WE NEED YOU. I try to stay away from the haters as much as possible, and when I can't, I give them a good sharp kick in the shins or bite their ankles and then go on about my business. Most of all, I'm as territorial as the chows I used to raise. If the jerks are able to make you leave for more than a brief gulp of fresh air, they'll be winning. We can't let that happen. I don't give a fig if they hate me, and hating President Obama hasn't got them very far, has it?

I'll even loan you my favorite heirloom set of brass knuckles if you promise to hurry back.

I saw the post that got hidden. I guess hoping that jailed rapists directly experience the same trauma as their victim is too much for some here. Or maybe some just don't like your opinions on other things and used this as a club to attack you. Hope you hang in here, though.
