WTF?

[Laurian]

I was in the process of replying to trumad's thread about being locked by a BB. By the time I finished writing my reply, that thread was hidden by a jury!

This place has become almost unbearable.

2. Disruptive? Partisan? On DU??

Naaah.
OYE. Surprised they didn't just hold up their F U signs
Man I see all kinds of META & endless partisan postings on DU 24/7. Isn't that what DU is about? Partisan opinions favoring one Dem candidate over one Indy candidate?
Seems its pretty much the nature of a political site.
I don't quite see the validity to this particular complaint.

Guess the only recourse to partisan Hides is to send it off to Admins.
Off it goes. ..

4. "partisan".. do they even know what that means.. they always use it like they're not.

7. That comment/reason was a hoot!

3. Please explain why this is not locked...

It attacks a Democrat, is blatantly CT, has components of meta, and is flame bait, disruptive, and OTT.

At a certain point in time - seeding "juries" on DU gets old when there is no validity to serial OPs by likely trolls.

We all get it. The "system" is not working. Hosts seem just as biased as the crazy juries.

Sorry that I logged in this weekend.

5. It's total bullshit and that's all they have.

9. I know. It seems that trashing Hillary is OK, but any criticism of Bernie

earns a hide. I'll be so glad when primaries are over.

I try not to engage with the BS supporters, but it's like they're just itching for a fight. Outside of this group, any positive post about Hillary is swamped with hateful comments.

6. The emotions are running high for the BS crowd...

Their candidate is losing even when he winning.

11. I call them the rabid, ravenous swarm. Never before, in my 10+ years on

DU, have I ever been put on time-out or had 5+ posts hidden in less than 90 days.

UNTIL THIS ELECTION CYCLE...
