Oh, @meno – what an endearing way to officially meet you. Of course, I already know who you are – even if I've only submitted one entry into the open mic challenge so far. ;)

Last night, after drafting a decidedly angry post (that I thankfully did not publish right away), I found these comments from you and a few others. I can't tell you how much they touched me.

Your words made me cry. That seems to be happening a lot on here. Something about being seen by total strangers. It does somethin' to ya...

Thank you for taking the time to visit this space – to really take in what I've written – to so generously offer your own words in return. So grateful to have you in my corner.

ps – Forgot to mention! – I did pen a public response to the flagging. Though I didn't mention you all by name, I did acknowledge the role you played in helping me transmute my frustration into something more productive. ;)
