1StrongBlackMan sends his love....

....

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.

[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.

... 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.

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.
