we are family and we do not talk them about them to outsiders.

I do know that trolls sometimes grace us with with their presence but soon get called out very quickly and soon leave,

Speaking of DU being a dysfunctional family, maybe I should take this opportunity to say that I've liked the posts of yours that I have seen. I probably don't say things like that enough, rather focusing on what comments I wish to take issue with and just continuing to read on when I agree. So, thanks for your posts in general.

let us make it a kinder DU.

When we must fight against violence,

Let us be strong and not further said violence.

When slapped in the face with oppression,

take a stand and say no more.
