Apparently a few Hillary fans have decided there is no room for Bernie Democrats on the DU

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by petronius (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).


I thought the DU was to support and discuss Democrats. Looks like it has to be the right Democrat.

I tried very hard to play nice with the Clinton Clan. It hasn't worked.

I couldn't believe how nasty a log time respected DUer was this morning. Had an echo too.

Probably my last post before another long time DUer gets banished over this kind of saying I've had enough of your crap.

OS

The kind of person you just want to punch in the mouth for being so damb annoying. They have no life and way too much time on their hands. They frequently use their excessive amount of time to annoy and monitor others, taddletale for small meaningless crap, butt into everybody's business except their own, and spy on people as if they think they are a cop or an important person or something.

are the loudest and most obnoxious. I wouldn't call them Zimmermans though that is really mean probably not accurate as most wouldn't be patrolling a neighborhood with a gun. However, they do try to shout down Bernie supporters. Meh, I don't really care there are more of us than them. Weird for me though...I am usually the minority opinion.

you are too smart to fall into the blame game...some of Bernie's fans have been downright nasty when it came to putting down Hillary...if you are going to complain.....how about coming down on BOTH sides....

Junior High at best.

The constant whining that Bernie supporters are so mean. The HRC group is a fucking war room plotting against Bernie supporters ffs. The Bernie group shuts that negative shit down in their group.

supporters here,let's not pretend it's the majority being bullied here. Ill make a prediction,your OP Will pass an alert,if it hasn't already,even though you added that you'd like to punch some of them in the mouth. Bernie supporters have a tendency to dish it without being able to take it.

"Someone" alerted on this OP, here are the results:





On Wed Jul 1, 2015, 06:25 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Apparently a few Hillary fans have decided there is no room for Bernie Democrats on the DU
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251420182

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post is pure meta, please vote to hide it.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jul 1, 2015, 06:34 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is NO basis to hide this, and I won't contribute to 'shunning' a fine DUer.

LEAVE IT.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert is a waste of time. What Omaha Steve has said is absolutely and undeniably true. This busybody needs to quit alert-stalking other members.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a good start to a country song, but it's okay.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post alone does not name any DU member...if it did I'd vote to hide.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This posting is fine. No more corporate Democrats should win a nomination of the party. Their sycophants must accept there is a struggle going on for the heart of the party and they are going to lose.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Why has this not been locked? Oh wait... I know. The Forum hosts are mostly Sanders supporters. It is the Clinton supporters who are being alert stalked by the Roachers, Trolls and Paulites so this complaint is really really out of line.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I was Juror#2
