Thank you.

[JTFrog]

Just thank you for being here.

I can't say anything else right now.

I've never done this before. I'm kind of falling apart. But knowing you guys are here and standing by me makes all the difference in the world today.

I have to log off for a while.

From the bottom of my heart, thank you.

1. we are, you know..

'Hope things look brighter soon.

[CTyankee]

2. good lord, can anyone tell me what happened?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

4. Creekdog's thread in GD .... JTFrog gives her testimony.

[CTyankee]

19. god,that was bad...I hope release comes...such trauma needs so much healing...

my thoughts are with her...jeez...

[Tuesday Afternoon]

21. and this ...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4537553

please support these Strong Women.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

3. One more Rec .... Can JTFrog get a witness, please.

Testimony. Witnessed. Confirmed. Validated.

[Sheldon Cooper]

5. We got your back, JT.

[boston bean]

6. That was some cold response you go there.

sorry people can be such unfeeling asses.

Here's a bunch of hugs for you!

[BainsBane]

7. Standing up for injustice is hard work

Particularly when so many are committed to protecting privilege of the few.

You take a break and remember we are always here to support you.

[sufrommich]

8. Oh JT,your post in that thread was

so incredibly heartfelt,courageous and righteous and the response was so vile I felt sick to my stomach reading it.

[sufrommich]

9. Fellow HoFers,I removed my rec. I know 10 recs

puts the thread in the public eye and I'm not sure it should go there. You all do what you want .

[hlthe2b]

12. I think you have a point.. I'll likewise do so, unless JTFrog indicates a desire to the contrary.

A rec to show support can have a very different impact, given the public attention it will bring.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

17. not sure I am following your reasoning ... can you expand on this? thanks.

[sufrommich]

18. I don't know,Tuesday. I just feel hinky about this

going out to all of DU because JT was hurting and came here to vent to HoF. I could be totally wrong and everybody should certainly do what they feel. Does that make sense?

[Tuesday Afternoon]

20. yes and no ... I uderstand but, at some point (and I am thinking Now Is The Time)

we must stand strong in solidarity. She posted in GD. The post was alerted. The World is bigger than DU3.

All over the world women are coming forth.

Giving Their Testimony.

I think rec-ing this thread gives validation and witness to her testimony.

Normally, I would say YMMV ... but, not this time. Not This Time.

Now is the time to take a stand.

Let our voices be heard in grace and harmony.

Please, Give Power to the Truth.

Think about it.

Take action.

[Squinch]

28. That is very thoughtful.

[MuseRider]

10. Many of us have

experienced things similar. You had to courage to talk about it when the right moment arose. I think only seabeyond has a clue what my story is and I think it will have to stay that way.

Surrounding you in warm feelings of safety and friendship. From the bottom of my heart, thank YOU.

[Tuesday Afternoon]

22. MuseRider -

peace to you.

[seaglass]

11. I'm sorry JT.

For what happened to you and for the incredibly cold response you received.

I know what you mean about fighting for change for your daughter and granddaughter and applaud you for it.

[NuclearDem]

13. Even if you don't read this for a while, I just want you to know you rock.

[UtahLib]

14. My heart is with you.

The person in that thread seems to be so stubbornly obtuse and self absorbed as to absolutely hopeless.

[redqueen]

15. We are all standing with you, JT.

And so many more women that you don't even know, and who don't know you - but who would never step metaphorical foot in a place that allowed such freedom and tolerance to those who so obviously hostile to feminists who call out the non-brogressive-approved issues.

Take care of yourself, woman. Reach out if you need to. Any one of us is here for you.

[DURHAM D]

16. I am so sorry.

You were/are very brave.

[RBStevens]

23. Just

[cinnabonbon]

24. I just discovered the thread you're talking about and

I can't believe they said those things to you. It was very callous of them.

Don't give up. There are more people who have gone through similar things that you have gone through, they're just not brave enough to talk so openly about it. When you talk about it openly, you are an inspiration to those who haven't managed to find their voice yet.

You did a good thing. And you're not alone.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. You know

Its okay to cry. And it's okay to say, "I hurt". And tonight - I cry with you.

[ismnotwasm]

27. My friend says

"When it hurts I say ouch"

I always liked that saying

[ismnotwasm]

26. ....

[Squinch]

29. Thank YOU, JT.

What you did was enormous. You are smart to take some time to absorb it.

I wish you peace of mind.

[BainsBane]

30. Sorry, JTFrog. I'm the last to understand things today

I saw the beginning of your subthread but then posted, got offline, and didn't finish read the rest of the subthread until a bit ago. I can't say how sorry I am that you were treated with such cruelty today. It's shocking how little compassion some have for other human beings. I want to let you know that I stand with you and support you.

[TDale313]

31. I am so, so sorry

Just read the thread in question.

We're here for you.

[gollygee]

32. Hugs

I see some of the people who might be bothering you have their accounts flagged for review.

[boston bean]

33. yes, I noticed that too.

That will be the third time for one of the two that have been flagged in that disgusting display.

He's been flagged three time for having 2 posts hidden in a 24 hour period. Was let back on two of those time. Wonder what will happen this third time.

[gollygee]

34. I wonder if being flagged over and over again

counts against you.

[hlthe2b]

35. Yeah... I noticed.. Should be interesting "resolution"
