To my great delight, someone gave me a heart. And I suspect it was one of you women.
Thanks very much to whomever, it's appreciated.

thank you.
i agree. it is a soft and respectful place to land.
I Just have to say how much I agree that HOF often feels like one of the few sane places left on DU. I look forward to coming here every day, to see what kind of interesting articles have been posted. Whenever arguments break out on DU, and I see someone from this group I actually feel a great deal of affection for them too - because they often stand up for the weakest and for those who have been raped, and the way they frame the issues makes a lot of sense to me. Their strength makes me feel safe enough to make my voice heard, too.
All of you are all wonderful people. I am so glad that I found this place. 
It made my day. 
Some folks just can't help themselves. 
That was a classic turd in the punch bowl post!
Good hide, though!
You women are the best!
It was a really nice surprise
very much appreciated today.
Much appreciated.
