Hang in there, Bravenak! We love you! <3 xo

[NurseJackie]

This happened a few days ago, but I hadn't seen it until today. Who knew that sarcasm was now prohibited? Absolutely absurd!

I suspect, but I cannot be certain, that it wasn't the one-word reply that was the reason for the hidden post, but the one-word user name that prompted it. I could be wrong, but that's what it seems like to me.

1. I'm not surprised.

They his Nance's post, they would hide anything.

Hang in there Bravenak, we're pulling for you!

[Agnosticsherbet]

2. That was done with malice and forethought.

It appears Bravenak is being stalked by those who seek to take her voice away.

[LisaM]

8. I think you're right.

They all but admitted it.

[Hekate]

18. I took the opportunity ...

... to alert on the co-ordinated gravedancing for giving the appearance of alert-stalking. I mentioned brave's single word.

[brer cat]

32. Thank you, Hekate. nt

[BlueMTexpat]

3. Not again!

More than ever, some of the Not-Hillary supporters are interchangeable with those of Drumpf.

bravenak, we love you!!!

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

5. Word of advice to all

You're allowed to blacklist 5 people from juries on any post you've been alerted on, 15 if you're a star member. Considering the stalking going on it wouldn't be a bad idea.

[Hekate]

20. I have never been able to figure out how to know who was on my jury...

Can you clue me in?

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

23. I just look for the most mean spirited commenters in the BS group

I figure it can't hurt to exclude those

[Hekate]

25. True dat

[cosmicone]

6. My posts are hidden for frivolous reasons all the time

Hang in there Bravenak!

[Lucinda]

7. Again?

Jeez.

[Rose Siding]

9. There is something very bad going on here, beyond anyone's idea of a "silly season"

Check it. All 5 of this particular woman's hides are bogus. Every. One.

21. +1

[brer cat]

33. true, and this wasn't the first time.

She has been stalked for a long time.

[kjones]

10. Really now? Again?!

I really hope none of these people have ever served on a real jury...

[Nonhlanhla]

11. THAT got hidden?

WTF? What made that hideworthy?!

And the glee with which they responded to the hiding, ugh.

So does this mean Bravenak cannot post? That sucks.

[NurseJackie]

13. My best guess is: Because it was posted by Bravenak.

I could be wrong, but my instincts tell me that I'm correct. (Sad, isn't it?)

I wonder if Mr. Skinner is aware and watching.

[radical noodle]

16. Snap!

Of course that's why.

[pandr32]

22. So sad.

Sanders right now (on MSNBC) is talking about how proud he is to be bringing new people into the political process because the system is broken/rigged, and doesn't represent average Americans. They have felt left out until he came along. Whoa!
So it is his supporters that Sanders is so proud of that are gleefully stomping on the freedoms of others.

I am so sorry Bravenak is being singled out, but there are plenty others who are finding posts hidden for silly reasons. It is quite clear that Sanders supporters on DU want to shut out Hillary supporters.

[Starry Messenger]

29. Bingo.

[SunSeeker]

12. The thought police will not win.

Hugs to Bravenak.

[fleabiscuit]

14. I'm with ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[UtahLib]

15. Bravenak is a magnet for the ghouls.

I hope to see major changes in the alert/jury system very soon. As to the rejoicing of the ghouls, consider the source.

[Hekate]

17. Not again! For saying "Oh you poor thing!" What the hell is wrong with that?

If she'd said, "Well bless your heart," would that have done it?

[NurseJackie]

19. I can't be certain, but that appears to be the case. (Just my opinion.)

Would it be fair to characterize this as "stalking" or "bullying" behavior? (I don't know, I'm just asking a question that someone in a position of authority should probably be asking.)

[OilemFirchen]

24. Every day I'm increasingly proud to be a member of the DU anti-establishment.

This is the true underground.

Fuck the authoritarians.

[rpannier]

26. Dumb

I'll just leave it at that
Though someone might get all hurt that it was only one word

[Gothmog]

27. I stand with Bravenak

[lunamagica]

28. They are so afraid of her! They don't have the intellectuall capacity to have a

discussion with her, so they do all they can to get rid of her.

Hang in there, Bravenak!

[gwheezie]

30. Did she post a pic of Beyonce?

We got a strange bunch of liberals here.

[Bleacher Creature]

31. I'm starting to worry this place will never be the same.

At some point soon, the people throwing this collective tantrum will be gone. The question then becomes how many Clinton supporters who got fed up with all this crap want to come back.

[Loki]

34. Bravenak

I stand with you, as a woman, as a Democrat and as an unintimidated DU member. The thought police will not control what we think nor how we vote and we will win. Victory will be sweet. Peace ✌

[SharonClark]

35. We need bravenek here

Please stay out of the others groups where they can silence you.

[NurseJackie]

36. I agree ... but "staying out" of the GDP hostile territory is no guarantee of safety.

Just peruse this group, or scroll UP within this thread, and you'll see what I mean.

I definitely take your point, however. By not engaging in tit-for-tat arguments and back-and-fort bickering, the likelihood of having a hidden post will decrease.

[Cha]

38. sheshe is out, too.. and she got 3 hides in our Hillary's Group for nothing.

[Cha]

37. I got one word for those who shut down voices for nothing.

It's incredible Skinner lets this happen on his Democratic site.

Thank you for this Jackie.. I knew about brave but I hadn't seen your sweet thread for her until now.

Awesome virtual hug.

And, one for bravenak~

sheshe's out too

How many have you done of these?

[NurseJackie]

39. With regard to your first observation ...

... yes, it is incredible, and very disappointing. Stepping in and addressing the situation would not be "taking sides" but would instead be an attempt to control abuse and stalking and bullying. I hope that day comes sooner rather than later.

[Cha]

40. Precisely my thoughts on the matter, Jackie.. and I'm sure we're not alone. It's

only common sense.

Thank you.

[aka-chmeee]

41. These people are similar to "Floppers" in basketball....

Acting as if they were clobbered when closer scrutiny reveals little or no contact. At some levels of basketball, this behaviour earns a Technical foul..in the NBA if detected after the game in a video, a fine can be levied on the offender.
The act is the same, however here it is like all the referees are partial to the same team. It doesn't seem like it should be difficult to examine all instances of poster suspensions for evidence of "flopping" and if present, penalizing the offenders and not the victim.
