3. Thanks, and I get it, I just don't "Get It"

why would anyone say what I said was spam.....was just saying I really liked our little communications company, and that we get money back for being members. I realized I posted it on the wrong thread, and tried to edit it and said I was sorry for posting it on the wrong thread.....I then posted the exact message on the correct thread and the post is still standing without a jury alert.

6. Maybe because it looks like spam.

Or am I not getting some subtle nuance here?

7. I go one removed, too...

I think DU has become somewhat politically sensitive. I keep forgetting that when a woman says something to same gender, it may be taken one way, but we are "genderless" here, so my comments were "inappropriate".

I keep getting asked to weigh in, and I do. I can't think of any times I've voted to "hide" something, based on the subjects on I've been asked to weigh in. We are "wussies" sometimes (cause I can't repeat the other word, you know)...

Sigh...
