5. Really stayed above the primary bs.
I wish I could've been half as noble as he is.

7. You know what made him stand out to me?
At the height, though it was always heightened, of the bashing of Hillary, he didn't do what I did, which was engage and fight back. Well, at least he didn't do it the way I did. I don't regret, or retract, a thing I've said or done here, but he floored me with the first thread of Hillary pictures and quips on her visit here or speech there. And he kept them coming. With all the venom being spewed, he was completely positive in his threads. And those threads became a welcome breath of fresh air. For me at least.

A toast to bigtree: :toast:

8. A toast to him, indeed.
I just admired how he could do pro-Obama and pro-Clinton threads so easily, without batting an eye, while most of the rest of us were slugging it out. I do regret some of the things I did/said here...and that I couldn't find it in myself to be as even-handed and positive as he is.

13. What I truly liked about bigtree during the primaries, was
right after posting a postive thread about Hillary w/pictures, he'd post a positive Obama thread w/pictures. Very fair and kind individual.

A :toast: indeed to bigtree.

6. Hope so. Some take vacations, some flame out...others just quietly leave.
Him, at least, I hope comes back.

9. Probably healing
He invested a lot in his candidate and TBH there was a good deal of triumphalism at the end ...

Hope the 'tree comes back

22. Most of the people that are true DUers are still here.
And most of the agitators have been canned.

18. I liked his posts too - hope he comes back. There are alot of great
Clinton supporters out there. I tend to think some of the recent tombstones were rethugs disguised as Hillary fans.

23. One of my favorite Hillary supporters, hands down.

Whether he's taking time to get some fresh air, or whether life circumstances have made posting regularly harder to do, I wish him all the best. He was always a clear-headed advocate for his candidate and I always appreciated conversations with him, even when we disagreed.
