(4,187 posts)It's really irritating because it's an accusation that cannot be disproved. If you respond, they argue that the fact that you responded to the accusation shows you're paid. And you can't claim your accuser (who often has been a DU member for a much shorter time than you and posts a lot more than you) is paid because your post will be hidden.
Juries don't mind it when a Bernie supporter accuses a Hillary supporter of being a paid shill. See:
Is the Op Writer paid to post such racist crap?

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Personal attack that devolves into slinging mud at the poster.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 27, 2016, 11:15 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Rebut, instead of just provide an offensive comment
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It was no more offensive than the original post.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Unwarranted personal attack. OTT, hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Technical violation of TOS, I know, but it's time to get to the bottom of this. It smells like a whole team of semi-pro assholes around here, and we should stop protecting them.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Racist crap should be called out.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Accusing a member of being paid to post here is unacceptable. Personal attacks do not belong on DU.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
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 #6.
Seriously, I'm trying to quit DU once again. It's not good for my mental and physical health. I do worry, however, about the state of the world. I've never seen nastiness like this anywhere.

(16,104 posts)At this point, the plan is for primary season to continue on DU until a candidate drops out or the voting is over -- whichever happens first.
No matter which candidate we support, we can all help ease the coming transition to general election season by choosing not to post uncivil comments against any Democratic candidates or the supporters. I see lots of people here who condemn attacks by the "other side" while continuing to justify attacks by people on their own side. This seems like a sure-fire way to ensure that both sides will continue with their awful behavior.

Revolution Media can't develop a reputation for not delivering the online attacks for which their clients (like Bernie Sanders) spend millions of dollars.
