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.

Values and not valves. Obviously.

Can't take me anywhere.

caramelwaffle · 17/09/2011 23:49

Thank you, Dittany.

learningtofly · 17/09/2011 23:48

This tends to be a topic I lurk in rather than post in. It would be nice to write something really profound but unfortunately its not really my forte!

The thing I like most about MN is the posters abilities to challenge your valves and what you think., even if you only lurk. So thank you dittany for your posts which always made me stop and think about things from a different perspective.

BuckBuckMcFate · 17/09/2011 23:45

Thank you Dittany.

I have only posted a few times on the feminist section but have lurked a lot.

There will, IMO, be a big Dittany shaped hole in a lot of threads.

I hope you feel you can return one day.

Notchattingnow · 17/09/2011 23:44

Thank you Dittany for posting in a reasoned way what I already thought but with conviction.
can you stay ?

I'm not sure Dittany would appreciate my Terry Wogan pic at this point. Or ever, really Grin

take your temptations somewhere else, edd

seriously, they are not welcome here

please respect my wishes, you could have just stayed off the thread completely

Oh Yama, I am so tempted to shoot down what you said but i'll respect the OP's wishes and stand down

On another thread, another time perhaps

joaninha · 17/09/2011 23:16

Hopefully it's like Terry Wogan, you know when he kept leaving but then he kept coming back ...

Come on Dits, just do a name change, put on some dark glasses, speak with a dodgy French accent, and that'll fool the trolls....

Yama · 17/09/2011 23:00

Inspiring post AyeBelieve. That's the thing - people didn't/don't like Dittany because she made/makes people see the world for what it is.

AyeBelieveInTheHumanityOfMen · 17/09/2011 22:23

Dittany, you changed my life, Not necessarily in an easy way Grin at the moment, until I get a handle on my anger, but definitely for the better. I think you have been the stone in the MN pool from which the ripples will go far and wide. I am only sorry that I didn't catch up fast enough to be a source of defence for you against those who weren't willing to even understand what you were saying, even if they disagreed,

Some people don't like that you have been so influential, but tough shit.

Thank you.

UterusUterusGhali · 17/09/2011 22:00

Some of your posts have left me Hmm, but you have taught me a lot and opened my eyes to lots of feminist type thingies.

If you take something from MN, know that you have made at least one lady re-assess her attitude to women's rights and calls herself a feminist again after years in the uninformed patriarchal hinterland.

Yama · 17/09/2011 21:59

And clearly I meant discriminated rather than 'discrimated'. [Embarrassed]

jenny60 · 17/09/2011 21:56

Haven't been around for a while but so so sorry to hear Dittany has left. Thanks for your commitment and for making me laugh too. I will miss you Sad

I love Dittany. We've had our run-ins, but she is someone I would love to know in real life.

FromGirders · 17/09/2011 21:53

thank you Dittany.

You've made me challenge my thinking and ideas, and that is a good thing.

ConstanceNoring · 17/09/2011 21:47

There is Flouncer's corner , but unless you know someone's going you would think to go there and add your farewell.

LynetteScavo · 17/09/2011 21:41

MN should have a special topic where people can post their love and appreciation for flounced posters.

SybilBeddows · 17/09/2011 21:39

IIRC the feminist topic was actually Dittany's idea.

And there are quite a few feminist groups that have been set up in the last year and a half as a result of the topic being here.

Thank you Dittany, all the hours you've spend on MN banging your head against a brick wall have done a lot of good.

(and I hope you come back.)
