of what it really means to be a Duer.
A long-time DUer responded to a post I made 2 months ago; and I'm unable to retrieve it from "My Posts".
It was a paragraph-long "definition" of what the essence of being a DUer was.
I vaguely recall it involving being kind, courteous, respectful of others, honest, etc......it was about 50 words long.

(68,644 posts)2. A DUer cares about the greater good and is a contributing member of the DU community.
Knows how to accept disagreements, might argue but knows how to back off too, is an active learner, not a know it all, and is helpful when help is needed.
And hugs....
We're huggers.

Everyone else is a troll.
