1StrongBlackMan sends his love....

[DemocratSinceBirth]

....

Over the past few days, I have received a number of PMs asking about my DU status and how I am doing, in general. As you know... I cannot respond. Please post an OP in the AA group indicating that we have been in touch and I am fine ... working my ass off on my job AND working to get HRC elected (I have registered over 300 never have "voteders" and have the contact info for more "why should I "voterers" who are saying they will go to the polls).

...

If you are willing, please let folks know if they wish to stay in touch with me, they can include their email address in a PM, I will respond.

Thanks.


EDITING AND ELLIPSIS POINTS ARE MINE

[brer cat]

7. I miss him! He is one of the best

here, and has been a rock in this group. Thanks for keeping us updated DSB.

[BumRushDaShow]

8. Thanks for the message relay DSB!

Am hoping this won't last too long. What a PITA.

to 1SBM. We are with you.

[marble falls]

9. His profile says he is active. What's happened???

[progree]

21. I'm seeing "Flagged for Review" - which is unable to post. nm

[calimary]

68. Why is he "flagged for review"?

What gives? Why is he on "can't post" mode?

[progree]

70. I don't know why he got FFR'd

[font color = blue]>>Why is he on "can't post" mode?<<[/font]

Its my understanding that Flagged For Review status people can't post -- that the software is written that way.

[StrictlyRockers]

74. Well do people ever get "reviewed"? Do these flags get removed?

[progree]

76. I don't know. As for how things are run, I'm just an observer (not on MIRT or anything like that)

There's one person I know who has been on FFR status since December.

Once every 3 moons or so, I read a few posts in "Ask the Administrators".

[uppityperson]

85. He got too many hides in a 24 hr period. I hope he gets unflagged soon.

Admin unflags people, it's up to them to do so.

[Hekate]

10. Thanks for passing on the message, DSB, and all the best to 1SBM

What a strange world this is.

[SunSeeker]

11. I miss 1SBM's posts. Free 1SBM!!

[GentryDixon]

12. Good to hear.

I miss 1SBM. His posts were always insightful.

Keep up the struggle 1SBM. You are missed.

[George II]

13. Hey 1SBM, good to "hear" from you, glad all is going well. We're still here....waiting......

[lovemydog]

This place isn't the same without him. Him and Bravenek are two of my favorite posters ever.

[DoBotherMe]

23. See you soon!

I miss your posts and look forward to reading them again. Dana ; )

[DemocratSinceBirth]

35. Who is Dana?

[tblue37]

55. I believe that is DoBotherMe's name signed to his/her post. nt

[greatauntoftriplets]

24. Hi 1SBM!

[Gothmog]

25. I miss 1Strongblackman

He is one of my favorite posters

[uppityperson]

27. Candle making is a productive hobby

[uppityperson]

31. What is this for today? 36 times?

[niyad]

39. something has been keeping MIRT busy today?? sigh.

[ismnotwasm]

45. ISBM intimidates them

They got their fingers burned a time or two and being a creeper is the only way they have of expressing discomfort

[niyad]

95. awww, the pooooor widdle thingies.

[frogmarch]

29. Get your fucking ass out of here. nt

[Hoyt]

30. WTF!

[Hoyt]

36. You sound like just another ignorant white wing racist gun lover.

This thread isn't about you and your Discussionist buddies.

[uppityperson]

42. Have you considered collecting bricks?

[niyad]

33. and what flavour pizza do you like?

pretty sure you are on the wrong site.

[wryter2000]

66. Darn, I always miss them

That one must have been a doozy, and not in the good sense of the word.

[calimary]

69. I missed it, too.

Probably a good thing, I'd guess...

[lunamagica]

34. I hope to see you back soon, SBM!

DU is not the same without you

[niyad]

37. thank you for the update. tell 1bsm he is missed.

[Cary]

41. Hope your are back soon 1SBM

[Loki]

43. Keeping the light on

For 1SBM

[SleeplessinSoCal]

44. Please expedite the "review". This is crunch time.

All hands on deck.

(although maybe this place would distract from valuable efforts)....

[gwheezie]

46. Send love back to 1sbm

Hope this ends soon & he's back.

[sinkingfeeling]

47. I don't know what happened, but so hope you will return soon.

[gollygee]

49. I hope he's back soon!

Let him know he's missed.

[spooky3]

50. Thank you, DSB, and great work on registering new voters, 1SBM.

[sheshe2]

51. Thanks DSB.

Miss you my friend, the place is not the same without you here.

1SBM

PS...Best to you and yours!

[undergroundpanther]

52. Gonna miss 1StrongBlackMan

And his insightful comments. Sad hope he returns.

[NanceGreggs]

53. Sending a PM to him now ...

... with my home email address. This is a poster I DON'T want to lose touch with.

1Strong is intelligent, insightful, well-informed, articulate - ya know, all those things that certain people here find offensive, and "alert on" accordingly.

As long as oh-so-obvious anti-Dems are part of the jury system, people like 1Strong will be continue to be targeted and ultimately silenced.

Better Believe It.

[VulgarPoet]

92. Agreed.

He was the one who snapped me out of my more or less fury; coupled with the reprehensible bullshit I started seeing at the Other Site. 1SBM's a good person, and it's almost shameful how long he and I had to converse before I glommed onto that fact. Definitely going to be sending over a message to the man.

[tblue37]

54. Is this a temporary suspension? I would hate for DU to lose 1SBM's input! nt

[handmade34]

56. ...

love and hugs to 1StrongBlackMan

[DonCoquixote]

57. Please let him know

That not only is he missed, but that some of us, including people who he argued with, miss him and think that this website has not been worth as much without him. Full stop.

[SusanCalvin]

58. Good to hear from you.

Your voice is missed.

[shenmue]

59. Love him

[JI7]

60. there are obvious trolls allowed to spread bs on this site

yet they wont let 1sbm post . it's been wayyy too long.

but hopefully he is seeing there are better things to do and enjoying himself. and doing a lot for the rest of us with actual on the ground activism.

[bettyellen]

61. Oh wow, miss him much!

Thank you!

[TexasTowelie]

62. I've missed hearing from him.

A great DUer that needs to return soon!

[BlueMTexpat]

63. Great to hear this!

Thanks for posting!

[dembotoz]

64. do be careful folks are after you

this was alerted

[YoungDemCA]

93. Such bullshit.

And in the African-American group, no less!

Racist cowards. They truly have no class.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

65. Whhaaatt? What the heck?

1Strong's been banned?

Oh for GODSSAKE!!! That's ridiculous!!!


Really sorry that happened. That's just wrong.

[calimary]

67. Sending love to 1StrongBlackMan!

Thank goodness he's on our side!

[yuiyoshida]

71. miss him also ...didn't know he was

timed out. Tell him, Yui says Konnichiwa!!!

[LonePirate]

77. Thank you for the update. Glad to hear about the voter registration efforts. Very impressive.

[steve2470]

78. I hope he can come back soon, he's a great member! nt

[Starry Messenger]

79. He shouldn't be suspended. I hate this.

I'll send him a PM, my DU time has been scanty of late.

[GP6971]

81. Enjoy your stay. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

88. What did I miss?

[GP6971]

90. Basically

said that 1SBM was a racist and racists don't belong on a progressive board.

[ismnotwasm]

91. A Internet creeper

[uppityperson]

82. How about trainspotting as a hobby?

[ismnotwasm]

83. .

IKR?

[uppityperson]

84. Looks like this frequent flyer has been busy recently. Has my other buddy been gracing DU with his p

presence too? I've been busy working, not checking in so much.

[ismnotwasm]

86. On occasion

All the regular weirdos are popping up now and again--this one has been a perisistant little fly

[uppityperson]

87. Noli!

[ismnotwasm]

89. Heh!

[The Polack MSgt]

94. Thanks for the update DSB

I hope that 1SBM comes back and posts here at DU, can't blame him if he says "eff it" tho

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

96. They've been coming for me, too, but we hang in there and are tough soldiers.

I will PM my information because I need to get busy in PA and VA. MD is safe.

[mcar]

97. I miss him

His posts are insightful and thoughtful.
