Funny for sure

I saw a post that was more about accusations of Bernie supporters calling clinton supporters names and such, I replied to the post requesting a link to some of those posts. I didn't realize I was in the hillary group. I was told that I was there and should delete that post which I did, actually should have left it I guess as it was in no way derogatory on anything just a simple request for a link to the posts that were being alluded to... next thing I get is a mail telling me that I have been blocked from that group.. I really thought I had already trashed that group and was pretty surprised to see that I was in there at all....

This place is actually falling apart at the seams it used to be pretty decent place to come to and find out what was happening in the world, a place to get the real news behind the news... I am pretty well fed up with the animosity around the place and pretty disappointed in a people allowing this to get to this point...

Very sad really ....

Rant over...

You wouldn't taunt Superman by asking him to arm wrestle, would you?

That I was banned from the group, but cannot reply to the mail so can't thank anyone for the favor...

Cha, if you happen to stumble in here by accident, thanks so very much

5. Do you know that Cha and many others there have a separate site

where they complain about DUers and trade insane crap like this actual post:

So wear your ban as a badge of honor.

14. That is more GOP bull****. I got invited twice to outside

sites that 'supported Hillary'. But alerted on them as it goes against and around DU rules and I suspected they were just put up by the GOP just to stir up trouble amongst democrats. Cha is as even a keel that floats on the DU. Please stop it with your casting 'asparagus' on fellow DUERS.

of the DU and Democrats' interests in general. From what I've seen.

3. They have ZERO tolerance, even if you delete and apologize.

I've never seen such happen so fast...I did the same, ending up there from a story in Trending Now (FYI, trashing Groups and blocking people does NOT stop people and groups from showing up there.)

I couldn't even delete before I was blocked...they are on a hair trigger with that block thing...they'll eventually have 99% of DU blocked.

Wear it as a proud badge, like the rest of us.

(What the heck??? 3 replies and 2 of them are by people I have blocked...I've only blocked from that group...what the heck are they doing HERE!)

7. WellI did delete

And I guess I did sort of apologize, told them I was sorry I mistakenly thought I was in reality

The fact that i was banned is no big deal it was actually very welcome since I thought I had trashed that group and it still showed up..

25. Doesn't matter to them

it's like Original Sin. You can never make up for it if you live to be 200. (I was raised Roman Catholic.)

P.S. I trashed GD-Pee but still find myself in there, particularly as part of jury duty. Quelle surprise.

I too was banned from H Group in a New York instant, and I'm proud.

4. The viciousness is back. The 'I'll never vote for Hillary' type of hate.

It was gone for a month. Why? My best guess is GOP trolls lay low until Hillary shinning through at the Benghazi hearing was forgotten. That's really most of the seething anger here....really benefits the GOP. Benghazi is a positive Hillary battle cry now. Or should it be 'Remember the Benghazi hearing - Go Hillary'.

8. I never ever

said or even hinted that I wouldn't vote for her if she is the dem candidate in the GE, I have held my nose and voted for the lesser of two bad choices before and can and will do it again if needed, I sincerely hope that is not what this one comes down to

10. Good for you. I was referring to the current reoccurring tone.

There is politics and then their is really, really personal attacks and hatred for the other candidate. There is a difference. And the second puts us on opposite teams. I'm a Hillary supporter but I like Bernie. And if I see he is going to be interviewed on the TV I'll post it on the DU. To be a good teammate. Cause we got to stick together in the end.

12. Actually

I caught that in your post and did not think you were accusing me of that line, I just wanted to state once more for the record were I stood on that...

There is nothing I can conceive of that would cause me not to vote for the dem candidate...I have voted in every election since I was old enough to vote, which comes out to almost 30 of them counting one every 2 years...

Her unsecure server is real.

Fuck Benghazi.

Anyone else would have been indicted by now.

You're really cheering someone who is trying to keep public business private from you?

Go away. This is a protected group.
