1. You guys are a trip

[Renew Deal]

2. lol

[bravenak]

3. .

[onehandle]

4. Pretty sure the secret council decided it should be Skinner.

He used the H-word in his endorsement.

[Duckhunter935]

16. Just to let you and all know

I am truly offended by your sig line picture. Are you saying it is OK to make fun of males?

[cwydro]

5. This is so silly.

The guy crossed a line. It's the admins' call.

Maybe a timeout would have been better, but he's been off the rails here for awhile.

Actually, his post yesterday about HRC rally bothered me more than the silly, sophomoric op today.

[Renew Deal]

7. I'm not protesting what the admins did.

They did the right thing based on their stated values. I think he should be let back in at some point. Really I'm just being silly.

[Duckhunter935]

17. Do you think penis jokes are OK?

[Renew Deal]

23. Jokes, yes

I think lots of jokes are OK.

Q: Why doesn't a chicken wear pants?
A: Because his pecker is on his head!

[Duckhunter935]

26. and anti-male sexual references in signature lines?

[Renew Deal]

28. Link?

[Duckhunter935]

30. In this thread ironically

[Renew Deal]

32. That's not anti-male. It's anti-gun

But I don't think that image belongs on DU. I've said before that the penis arguments about guns are not a legitimate argument.

[Duckhunter935]

34. anti gun making fun of male genitals

yes, it is anti-male as it it were just anti-gun, a gender(male) would not have to be put down. Am I right?

[Renew Deal]

38. I agree that it doesn't belong

Not sure what else there is to say.

[Duckhunter935]

44. we agree on that

and maybe that DU member might get the hint and remove that image and others should shame him for it.

[Art_from_Ark]

36. It's equating small man-parts with a desire to own large weapons,

which is pretty dumb.

[Duckhunter935]

39. Yes dumb, but excused by many

because it is about man parts

[Logical]

6. I vote for "Logical", the guy is a total asshole! nt

[PowerToThePeople]

15. ..

[Logical]

18. Alerted! :-) nt

[brooklynite]

8. Someone who's political intolerance goes over the Line?

won't be me...

[sarisataka]

9. You

[Renew Deal]

10. lol

I knew that wouldn't take long. Though I thought it would be in the first three posts.

[sarisataka]

13. I'll be right behind you

[Renew Deal]

29. That clip is hilarious

I think I found what this is about:

[sarisataka]

59. He was sent off

for kicking the ball into the goal after the whistle blew. He said he couldn't hear because of the noise in the stadium and was pointing at the crowd while pleading with the ref.
It didn't work

[Renew Deal]

60. He's such a whiner

[NightWatcher]

11. Skittles is always threatening violence

's from ass kicking that's coming.

[arcane1]

33. It was nice knowing you!

[Depaysement]

12. Bill Clinton

"A few years ago this guy would have been carrying our bags."

"This guy" was Senator Barack Obama.

[fadedrose]

20. why didn't someone call him a racist?

why is he excused?

[Dems to Win]

41. Reputable link?

There is no evidence Clinton actually said that. Please don't spread false rumors.

[merrily]

61. It's in the book Game Change. It's never been denied. My recollection was it

was "bringing us coffee," but it could have been carrying our bags.

[Dems to Win]

65. I've heard it discussed and refuted and the lack of evidence for this claim detailed.

It also sounds out of character for Bill, who always had good respectful relations with African Americans.

I don't believe Bill ever said it.

[merrily]

68. I have seen it questioned, but never refuted.

Do you mean mean lack of evidence that it appears in the book or lack of evidence in the book by the authors of the book that the conversation occurred?

[peacebird]

14. Probably someone using secret phrases that the Urban Dictionary says are porno....

[Liberal_in_LA]

49. yeah but this issue has pushed Bernie worship off the page

[Cha]

21. It's not up to us.. it's up to the Admin.. if some jerk says some shite like the guy just banned.

[AngryAmish]

52. Now I can die happy.

On edit : The only way I could be happier is if it actually got hidden.

Damn you, jury members.

[Warren DeMontague]

54. You sent that alert yourself, didnt you.

Fess up.

[AngryAmish]

56. Shoot. Can you do that?

Hey, if I did on a o-7 I could not post this.

[Warren DeMontague]

57. Nah, that would only mean no more alerts for 24 hours.

I actually dont know if you can alert on your own posts- I've never tried.

With my luck, it would get hidden.

[Renew Deal]

58. Not anymore

I think someone pretty prominent got banned for doing that.

[giftedgirl77]

55. Hahahahahahaha, that alerter should be grounded from alerting

for more than 24 hours just on principles alone.

[pintobean]

24. Walt Star

IBTL

[Renew Deal]

25. For the kids

[pintobean]

27. Just had to prove my spelling error

didn't you.

[Tipperary]

42. Oh my goodness. I'm kind of new to the whole banning thing,

but this is funny! I assume this is for real?

[Renew Deal]

45. Oh yeah

It was real. I don't remember what brought it on.

[Starry Messenger]

31. The people saying that black people and feminists are paid trolls.

The two guys who admitted they are rapists.

Any person who uses the c-word on a woman.

[bettyellen]

47. Yep, that's a good list. Also the guy wanting judge to decide if you bear a child.

[Starry Messenger]

51. Ooo, yes.

Also anyone who uses the term "cosmetic abortion."

And Zimmerman supporters.

[DURHAM D]

62. Agree.

[RufusTFirefly]

35. I vote we ban Joe Lieberman!

Although come to think of it, he hasn't posted in a while.

[woolldog]

37. not me

[winter is coming]

40. Oh, look! A volunteer!!

[Paulie]

46. They already banned someone important

I'm almost over the shock:

48. The Next Person Who Uses the C-word.

Totally unacceptable.

[Renew Deal]

53. What about monsters?

[Dr. Strange]

50. Here's a list.

Orrex: Horrible taste in literature. He needs to respect the Dune series.

CreekDog: Doesn't respect the music of Rush.

madinmaryland: Dallas Cowboys. 'nuff said.

jobycom: The two previous reasons combined.

[nilesobek]

63. Politics is a rough trade.

Some of us might not be able to stomach what happened but a nice review and edit, some reflection and empathy, before hitting, "post my reply," could go a long way to unite us.

[StevieM]

64. Can someone please explain something to me? (I'm asking this in several threads.)

I'll start by stating my bias. I am a Hillary supporter, going all the way back to 2007.

I know that NYC Skip wasn't. And that he alluded to a bad word when describing her, or something like that.

Here is my question:

Isn't this something that can be resolved? Can't he appeal the decision? Is he allowed to apologize, serve a suspension and then get reinstated so that he can post here again?

[Renew Deal]

66. Up to the admins

There are people here that have been banned in the past and let back in. The ones I remember are MFM, Will Pitt, the "gay purge." Most or all had the opportunity to get back in. This case resembles the MFM situation. Hopefully he will appeal it in a few days and the admins are sympathetic.

[DURHAM D]

67. It is entirely up to the owners.

There is no other process.

Posting on DU is a privilege, not a right.

[Renew Deal]

70. You should delete your post

My thread is a joke.

[one_voice]

71. Locking..

it's the consensus of the hosts this doesn't meet SOP for GD. It's meta.
