I used Ignore for the first time in 5 years. I got pretty viciously attacked for simply questioning motives. It hasn’t been pretty. But it’s important for all of us to stand strong together. Your posts have always been a must read for me. I’ve learned from them and I’ve been inspired by them. They were important to me. I’ll miss you if you leave. DU will miss you if you leave. That being said I wish you well whatever you decide. Please know that you have touched me.
