28. I'm not understanding... Do we not want to comment on what they post? Do we not want to...

have a unified counter argument to their hate? It seems you're saying you don't want people to bring examples of outrageous right wing crap to criticize, or discuss, or counter, or pick apart, or rant, or scream, or just have a friend to console you because it pisses you off so much. Is that what you're talking about?

I know I was outraged by tRump pinning that crap Ilhan/9-11 video to his twitter feed for a day. I posted about it. I didn't post the tweet or even link it. The first person who hits the post... Do you have a link? Jeebus.. it's the Preznit's twitter... google it. this person has over 50,000 posts too. OK.. I guess I'm supposed to post. So I do. Is that what you're talking about? You don't like that?

It seems like every time I post or comment about a false or nasty tweet or right wing comment, the first reply I get is, got a link? These are long time users to... with thousands of posts. Are they setting me up? LOL.. I don't know.......

Anyway, like I said above, if you're looking to be in a bubble. good luck with that. Also, let me repeat, too many people living in a bubble for too long is what got us in the condition we are today.

OUT!

What's the protocol on posting tweets? or any links with hate content? [View all]	floppyboo	Mar 2019	OP
Pretty much any prominent Democrat who tweets gets vile hateful comments	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#1
I wasn't talking about tweets from prominent Democrats. Tweets from this DU community	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#4
Yes see my third paragraph above.	emulatorloo	Mar 2019	#19
Context is everything...	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#2
yes - following the link. Not doing it anymore. Was too sad and mean!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#3
that's why the admins made it possible to embed tweets. Stick with those posts that do, I guess.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#5
explain please. So if there is just a link, but no text, that is ok and embedded?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#8
Here is a post of my own that includes an embedded tweet	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#11
I would be totally cool with someone posting the tweet and not the link	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#6
It is content on DU which is juried not content elsewhere.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#7
so if the content is posted to DU, then it can be juried here? nt	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#10
If what is posted breaks the TOS rules for the site, yes, but again context is everything.	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#13
what about deriding LW comments against some Dems?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#14
well, it is against the rules to attack (not just criticize) but attack DEMS, but I'd try to be sure	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#15
But this is exactly the problem I'm having!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#16
Well, you could include some posts/links to recent posts in a question to 'Ask the Administrators'	hlthe2b	Mar 2019	#17
I have asked a # of questions. 2 months and waiting...	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#18
If people don't remove the "mobile." from the link, they just get the link, not	tblue37	Mar 2019	#9
this makes sense to me, as I don't have a phone and have to go through some steps	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#12
Is the new question in the age of twitter: What is a moderated site?	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#20
You want to be in a bubble? Do you think that is possible? Do you think that is wise?	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#27
maybe, well not maybe, there should be a forum where all tweets are posted nt	msongs	Mar 2019	#21
I like that idea!	floppyboo	Mar 2019	#23
Let DU members decide.	Ptah	Mar 2019	#22
high level of discussion	lunasmithiam	Mar 2019	#24

I'm not understanding... Do we not want to comment on what they post? Do we not want to...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#28
Ya - that's part of what I'm talking about	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#29
In my opinion, that's a bad rule. It's usually enforced by mob rule...	PeeJ52	Apr 2019	#30
thanks for the insights.	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#32
more...	floppyboo	Apr 2019	#31
