(101,314 posts)This is why you, as a host, have zero credibility. Yes, Bonobo was polite in their posting. Pretzel_Warrior was rude ('F off not fuck off'? That's the most pathetic attempt at self-justification I've ever seen a host give on DU), and then you leapt to P_W's side, and banned Bonobo. You got it exactly wrong. 'This is in BOG' does not mean that those in your club get to blow raspberries at anyone who posts in the group. Pretzel_Warrior makes Bart Simpson look like a mature adult, and you are so clueless that you take his side.
But the awful thing about the BOG is that these bans on people who haven't said anything bad about Obama, but who aren't part of your group that makes childish insults, happen frequently. "This is in BOG" does not mean "all replies should look like they came from our thought-free clique, and we reserve the right to behave like 4 year olds for no reason, and then ban you from our clubhouse when you object".
It's just as well Obama isn't running for another election. You give him a bad name.
