Could we just say a great big THANK YOU to Dittany

Thanks.

That is it.

You know how I have appreciated your posts and your influence, so I don't need to say more.

No nay-sayers allowed, please respect this space for people who wish to express their appreciation of a person who has been a force for good on MN.

Dittany - you certainly woke up my latent feminism and made me challenge some long held views. You made me open my eyes to all the horrible little assaults women go through every day, assaults that I thought you just 'got on with' and were 'normal'. I'm now filled with a constant rage about how unfair our society is (so thanks for that! :D ) and a fire to teach my dds about how life should be.

Thank you.

Thank you Dittany Smile

Dittany, your posts have often made for uncomfortable reading and your style is uncompromising - but that's why you have been such a valuable member of MN and the Feminist and Relationships sections in particular. We need someone like you to keep ripping off the grubby veils and exposing patriarchy and misogyny to the light.

I feel so much better informed and full of passion about the true meaning of equality since reading threads in this section and in no small way because of your comments on them.

Also, you are one of the very few people to actually get DH to admit he wasn't right about something (!) - definitely worth another bouquet.

I'm sorry you've been hounded off MN. But I know you'll carry on fighting the good fight using every opportunity that comes your way.

Thanks and please come back.

Thank you Dittany.

I want to say so much more but I would struggle to articulate. Just know that it's a bloody big thank you.

caramelwaffle · 20/09/2011 14:48

Thank you again Dittany.

Yes, THANK YOU, Dittany

You have made me think and taught me a lot and I am sad to think I will learn no more from you.

I hope you see this thread.

Thank you, you have really made me think about so many things. So sad that I won't be able to read your posts anymore. A great loss to this section and the board.

HereBeBolloX · 19/09/2011 21:08

Thank you Dittany.

You made me think. And read.

I hope you'll be back.

northernruth · 19/09/2011 18:07

I didn't know her well being a recent poster on these boards but she was very helpful and supportive to me. Sorry she's gone.

Thank you Dittany. Hope you will be back, either as yourself or 'undercover'.

seasidesister · 18/09/2011 20:43

Sorry to see you go Dittany. Your posts were informative and well argued. You will be missed.

pinkthechaffinch · 18/09/2011 19:07

Thank you dittany.

BlowHole · 18/09/2011 18:29

I also read Wifework on your recommendation dittany. It really opened my eyes as I read it just after my relationship with my partner had broken down. If I do choose to have a live in relationship with a man again, my expectations will be much higher, so thanks.

belgo · 18/09/2011 18:15

It's a shame that she's left. Hopefully she'll be back (no-one ever leaves for long)

DontCallMeFrothyDragon · 18/09/2011 18:13

I'm already wishing she was back.

Thank you for everything, and I do hope you find your way back some day

Portofino · 18/09/2011 18:10

I was thinking this just a couple of minutes ago. I nearly typed - Hopefully Dittany will come along soon - then remembered.....

AliceWyrld · 18/09/2011 14:59

Thank you so much Dittany.

Like the ripples analogy. Tis true. And I frequently think 'what would Dittany say'.
