Should I be proud?

[JackInGreen]

Engaging in honest debate with the hillcats is a recipe for getting banned from their group. The identity politics really knows no bounds does it?

1. The Hillpeople banned me as well. I didn't even realize I was posting in their group.

Never had and probably still wouldn't have on purpose.

11. I think banning people is undemocratic

I think it exacerbates division because it draws a clear distinction of us vs. them between Democrats. An individual hiding another individual's posts is fine, but kicking someone out of a group? That's vindictive and hurtful and not at all democratic. DU is the best place to find the latest news but it's the place where even polite and well-meaning posters can find they are unwelcome.

2. Silence is a recipe for getting banned from their group.....

after all it worked for me.

3. Nearly everybody who is rational and reasonable is banned from that group. If not, they simply

didn't visit enough.

They suck up people from the home page of DU, wait for a non-sycophantic reply to one of their threads then summarily decapitate the wayward poster.

4. It was in response to one of them

Egging brave on to piss people off, then I get called a hypocrit because I'm a basket of snark. Apparently being a wise ass is far worse than encouraging conflict.

6. Trust me. The pain fades quickly.

7. Oh I ain't hurt

Id have called half of em fam here on the boards before 4 months ago.
Then I became a whitesplain'in supporter if a self proclaimed socialist who's also a racially insensitive misogynist with a group of supporters that hate anyone unlike themselves and hate hill with a passion that should have 'condensed gowdy' on it.
I swear I'd write them off as fodder for the coming revolution if I didn't believe that our WORST angels are on display I'm the primaries.

13. Best post I've read today.

5. Welcome to the club

I got banned yesterday. Honestly, I didn't realize I was posting at camp weather-vane. I never go there and had no intention of dropping in. Whatever.

My huge offense was in calling a poster out for slinging mud at Bernie supporters just days after we had been supportive of HRC during the hearings. Apparently, the kindness and goodwill is supposed to go only one way.

12. Thanks for the support Berinie supporters but watch out for that bus! Kind of like the one we'll

all be under if she's elected.

[SoapBox]

14. Me too!

I'll bet it was the same nasty post I saw...it came up in Trending Now.

I was so tired I missed it was in their snake pit...I self deleted immediately...too late!

I say fuck 'um...nasty, vicious, lies...all the dirty politics are just vial.

15. I already disliked HRH

but her supporters make me dislike her even more...something about being judged by the company you keep.

8. I was banned from AA for criticizing the judgment of revealing

our actual identities. Had no idea I was posting there. Got my first ever hide and booted out with no warning. Sent a pm explaining my position and an apology. No reply.

9. I think it should be accepted that a protected group IS a protected group.

I accidentally posted something in the BOG, got banned, rightfully so (not that I ever went there on purpose anyway ) and thought that was fair enough. Accidentally posted something in a AA group, got a warning, deleted my post, that's okay, I thought that was more than fair.

A group that forms a new website to specifically demonize Bernie's supporters is not going to be influenced by anything you say, anyway.

10. GD-Pee is the appropriate forum for debate with supporters of other candidates.

This post is meta and doesn't really have anything to do with Bernie. Please delete.
