It's fine, really.

Being old, I realize when limits have been met and you just have to quit something. I joined DU in 2004, right before Kerry lost. I depended on DU in the ensuing months for solace and community. There was a vibrant feminist community then, believe it or not. I think they were slowly marginalized out of that vibrant existence.

How sad! Couldn't it have all been different?
