I have had to mostly avoid social media, twitter especially, for the past few days - I just couldn’t take it anymore and needed a break. Thank you, Heather, for suffering through and distilling all the horrible news into a coherent narrative so that I could feel comfortable not paying attention for a day or two.

I have had to mostly avoid social media, twitter especially, for the past few days - I just couldn’t take it anymore and needed a break. Thank you, Heather, for suffering through and distilling all the horrible news into a coherent narrative so that I could feel comfortable not paying attention for a day or two. I know I can trust you to not miss something important and that trust allowed me the break I needed. I suspect that even on days when you “take the night off” you still keep sifting through all the garbage, you just don’t write a letter and thus don’t really get a break. Thanks for being there and persevering. I hope it’s not past the time when you can go kayaking - that seems to help you when you need it. Starting to ramble so I will stop. Just wanted to express my gratitude.
Karen Smith, instead of rambling on, to use your words, why aren't you out getting people to vote? Drive them to the polling stations or post their ballots. What a waste of valuable time.
Steven, since you have no idea of my personal circumstances or what I may or may not have done to advance votes or the election, I would respectfully suggest that you refrain from judging me. My time is mine to do with what I will, as is yours. Yours would be more productive to spend not judging other people on what you presume to know about their activities. I simply wanted to thank Heather for the work she does.
My apologies for being so direct, but trolling just to "see what happens" is even worse than a hypothetical waste of valuable time. That kind of trolling is part of why social media is such a toxic place today.
Steven, I am happy to interact with intelligent discourse, there is no need to be provocative just for the sake of conversation. I apologize if my reply was harsh, I was somewhat taken aback and in a hurry. I am very busy in my professional life and am just now having time to look at further postings. I would hope that we can all have polite engaging conversation moving forward. These are stressful times for all and there is nothing gained in divisiveness. Let’s all move forward together, shall we?

Thanks, Karen. You speak for the many here!

Steven, I agree that you are being extremely presumptuous to admonish anyone whom you do not know. What a waste of potential insight you've exhibited.
Karen and Rob. Thanks for your responses. I just wanted to write something controversial for a change and see what happened. I respect your opinions.

We digress people

Steve. Go back to your sandbox.
I don't think the polling stations are open in the middle of the night.
