Hello! Just a thank you.

Ever since the new rules went into effect and it became safe to venture out into GD16 without being attacked, I've spent a lot less time in the Hillary group. But I just wanted to say thank you for providing this safe haven during the worst of the primaries - my sanity wouldn't have held if I hadn't had a refuge from GDP.

So thanks!

I think many of us are spending a lot more time in other areas of DU, resulting in the HGC not being quite isn't as active.

Makes sense, since we're all supposed to be the HGC now, though one's mileage may vary. haha

This was always my go-to place for encouragement, support and peace. I can't describe how good it felt to have a place that had no bashing of our candidate. Many thanks to all.

have felt it safe to venture elsewhere from time to time.

But the HRC Group is "home" and I have a shout-out to the AA Group for general sanity as well!

Thank you to all the hosts!

It has gotten much better out there, but this group was a true life-saver during the primary.

Without those angels watching over this group, I'd have been long gone!

The internet is too big to ever have to feel 'hunted and cornered' again.
