I feel strongly enough about that diary to expand a comment I wrote into a diary.
I have been reading DKos for about three years. I like the community, and got a user ID about six months ago the day after my dad died. Someday maybe I'll write about what a great guy he was (in addition to being one of probably the most knowledgeable guys in the country on the subject of oil shale extraction technology -- he was a very funny guy, and bought a hugenormous SUV in 1995, because, as he said, he couldn't resist using gas that was so ridiculously cheap).
For me, the value of DKos is that it is a community I feel I belong to, although I am thin-skinned, and when I've received negative feedback, I've taken it too personally. But DKos has given me the impetus to step into greater political activism, and that's what this diary is about.
