Been here at DU for about 9 years...

[trumad]

and we're still a circular firing squad.

Then again---I don't think I'd have it any other way.

[MadMaddie]

[liberal N proud]

9. But for the most part, those firing squads are civil

Those who are not civil eventually get burned out and leave.

I think this toon was done with DU in mind...

10. Dodging bullets is pretty good exercise

and makes one quick on his feet

11. Hello my name is Lee

and I'm an addict. I'm addicted to DU and have been since 2001. I don't think a day has gone by in these 9 years that I haven't been on this site at least once a day..........really it's more like six or seven,and since I have an iPhone, you all are never more than a fingertip away. I've been doing HCR battle all day, and I'm tired. I work in the health care field and just answered a line by line email from one of my neighbors that they saw from a "Dr. Fraser" to Senator Evan Bayh who seems to be happy as a little clam with health care as it is being delivered today. My brain is tired, and my dear husband, whom I copied my rant to, is taking it to work tomorrow and placing it on his desk where the other doctor in our office will see it. I hope his head explodes, I will continue this fight until we have HCR.......to the barricades people, to the barricades. I love my DU, you have made me a much better informed and more vocal person than I ever thought I could be. Thank you all.

13. Cognitive apprehension and, hence, thought are dialectical in nature.

[shraby]

15. You've put out some pretty good rants in that time, too. I

enjoyed all of them.

[Fumesucker]

16. Sometimes it reminds me of the three way standoff..

In The Good the Bad and the Ugly..

[Truth2Tell]

21. You see in this world there's two kinds of people my friend...

those with loaded guns... and those who dig.

[Fumesucker]

25. You dig..

[awoke_in_2003]

33. Or this one....

Who the hell shot Chris Penn? Tim Roth is not holding a gun.

[CatWoman]

46. I relive that scene

every time I come to a 3-way intersection :)

[lazarus]

17. yep

It's been that way from the beginning. Remember when you could read every post on DU every night?

[Catshrink]

18. I'm unrec'ing this thread.

Just kidding.

:hi:

[awoke_in_2003]

34. Unrec'ing for mentioning unrec feature

I must stand on principle (also just kidding)

[Catshrink]

43. Unrec'ing for unrec'ing me

so there.

:hi:

[awoke_in_2003]

45. Well then...

I am going to go back and rec it since you unrec'ed my unrec'ing of your unrec'ing :hi:

[Jamastiene]

19. The circular firing squad is, at our core, how we function.

It seems to be our "glue" or our MO, maybe both.

[kestrel91316]

20. Hey, we still have a WAAAAYYYYYY better website format than those other guys.

I can't go to them and read, it hurts my eyes and there's way too much clicking from page to page.

[Zomby Woof]

22. Same here

9 years.

No navel gazing needed.

But I wouldn't mind a few changes. I won't dare post them here.

[roguevalley]

23. I believe I've been here that long as well and I know I am on ignore

for some people. It doesn't bother me to apologize either for being an a-hole from time to time. I apologize now for past, present and future a-hole-ism. I love this place and all the people in it. Well, maybe not the two people *I* have on ignore. :) But you get the drift.

DU= Sanity + brains + love.

[Zomby Woof]

I don't apologize for being an asshole

It's often merited on here.

[Zomby Woof]

24. I don't apologize for being an asshole

It's often merited on here.

[Forkboy]

30. I think you should post them here.

As soon as the mods have banned you I'll chime in on what I agree with or not... :)

[Zomby Woof]

35. Now why would you want me banned?

:cry:

[Forkboy]

37. Nothing personal...you know me.

I just like trouble. :D

[Zomby Woof]

44. Well, yeah

But I know you'd miss me. :evilgrin:

[OffWithTheirHeads]

26. Don't post this in the guns forum!

You'll start a flame war that will make Katrina look mild.

28. What were the major disagreements 9 years ago?

One would think that everyone would have been unified against Bush?

[JCMach1]

36. Pro War/Anti War, Nader, Israel vs. Palestine, The Primaries

Tinfoilers vs. Rational Koolaid drinkers...

There have been many flame wars since 2001.

[trumad]

40. Nader then...

Nader now...

For sure,,,

[Forkboy]

29. Say that in the Sports Forum, cockface!!!!!
