In reply to the discussion: is there some significance to what looks like a fly some people have crawling at the bottom of post? [View all]MH1
(17,729 posts)56. I just went to the link in the post, and it seems very clear that it discourages breaking the pledge
even if Sanders doesn't get the nomination. (Go to the FAQ link on the Wordpress site that Loonix linked to in his post).
Maybe Loonix did not understand this, but I read it closely and it's pretty clear to me that it is meant to be a serious pledge.
The Admins had stated that if you successfully convinced them that you really meant to not vote for the Dem nominee in the GE, that would likely result in you being banned. Most people throw out a statement here and there that's taken as a non-serious whine, so they don't get banned for it. But shilling a website that someone has clearly put A LOT of attention into, that clearly says "pledge" and discourages breaking that pledge, is pretty convincing.

like accusing someone of racism, homophobia and anti-Semitism without even one link of proof.

Yes, I know. How that applies (or not) to what L0oniX actually posted is the issue,

It was a response to unseemly gravedancing by the HRC crowd after a long time site user

It's nothing more than a moving black dot. Some see what they WANT to see.
