2. thanks!

3. That doesn't point to latest news on Volusia...It's to her forum where...

everyone is ragging on DU for banning her.

:shrug: Did you post the wrong link?

Since bev has been banned, are you now her conduit to post messages at DU?

[AmyCrat]

4. ya know... I already alerted the mods about this thinking it precautionary

and then I was thinking of replying to say "link to the update please, not just the forums"... and now I see Maddy, you're right.

[Malikshah]

6. Well, it's a classic case of they said she said at this point

After reading through the posts there and here, it appears as if there's a lot that's not being put forth.

If the 300+ message thread is any indication...though...something is beginning to stink.

7. Would that be a crime?

[AmyCrat]

9. not a crime, but not exact forth-coming

...or transparent
...or honest

[aquart]

8. Well, Maddy.

I guess you could say, Mission Accomplished.

I'm impressed.

[Maddy McCall]

11. Ya think?

16. Maddy -- I hate to make this thread grow but I want to say

When I read this over there

Curious, I decided to test the theory that Volusia County investigations, for some inexplicable reason, are touching a nerve with the Democrats. I created a Democratic Underground thread with the Volusia County update, thinking I'd observe it to see if the moderators locked it. It was well received, and professionally written.

Within an hour, the mods not only locked it, but banned me from posting for life.

I was angry. She doesn't have time to call back volunteers, but to engage in this kind of speculation and posting nonsense? (ALL the BEV threads were being closed at that point, as I remember it).

Sorry I'm venting this here. She seriously needs to reevaluate. At I AM a supporter of her efforts, regardless of what she thinks.

[Maddy McCall]

19. She's just looney...

You can't make sense out of someone who is as looney as she is.

10. Why was Bev Harris BANNED??

Im confused.I thought she was beloved here???

[AmyCrat]

13. Read the official statement

[Kellis]

14. oh okay`thanks.

wow I had no idea all that was going on.

[New Earth]

5. that's really misleading of you

[AmyCrat]

12. (self deleted -- wrong spot)

oops

[geo]

15. Where is the update?

It's o.k. to say, Bev speaks out on DU/Obermann. That would have been more honest.

This is too much drama for me. Can't we all just get along?

18. What update? The link is to a forum that does nothing but bash DU

She has apparently decided DU is part of a right wing plot to stop her from finding the truth:

"The timing of today's ban was very interesting. I've been noticing that the attacks have escalated since we began publishing information about Volusia County. In fact, a curiousity is that we have gotten some surprising resistance to our investigation from some individuals associated with the Democratic Party and/or the Kerry campaign, which doesn't make any particular sense to me, since the facts in Volusia County seem to point to local problems that are not systemic, not spread across the rest of Florida, and can't affect the Kerry campaign.

Today, in a post in a "DU" thread pertaining to Palm Beach County, I posted an update about Volusia County. Oddly, this post disappeared. Usually the post just says "delete" but in this case, it disappeared altogether. Vaporized.

Curious, I decided to test the theory that Volusia County investigations, for some inexplicable reason, are touching a nerve with the Democrats. I created a Democratic Underground thread with the Volusia County update, thinking I'd observe it to see if the moderators locked it. It was well received, and professionally written.

Within an hour, the mods not only locked it, but banned me from posting for life."


PS - It sounds to me like she also must have been pestering the Kerry campaign and they didn't want to get within 1,000 miles of her (wisely).

20. Locking

This isn't an update on Volusia County.
