Question for the BOG members:

[Baitball Blogger]

Now that the mid-term election is over, would you consider giving some of us, who were locked out of the group, amnesty so we can get a second chance to join in the discussions?

I'm assuming that anyone that has been locked out before, as I have, will become more aware of where we are posting.

1. Why would someone locked out want back in, assuming they were locked out because they were very

Critical of the President on almost everything.

2. That is certainly your perogative to make that determination.

I will not try to influence you one way or another, except to say that when I was locked out, I wasn't even aware I was posting in the BOG, but I didn't fight the issue because I wanted to keep the option open to criticize certain decisions that I knew were coming up.

But the next two years, since he's going to go head to head with Republicans (at least, it looks like he's taking that course) I think he's going to need all the support he can get. I would like to be a part of that.

4. I recommend that you appeal to the lead host by PM.

We have unblocked members in the past.

We try not to be nasty and, yes, sometimes a person posts a reply in the BOG without realizing it.

I've done that in other groups.

Thanks for the positive comment.

6. First of all I didn't make any judgements or comments what should or should no happen, just

asked why someone who was locked out want back in, assuming the president was being dissed, which may or may not be the case I guess

9. Thanks for leaving that door open.

I will check in with Cha to see what she has to say.

3. I dunno about anyone else...

But I got blocked for pointing out to a poster that bombing Syrians isn't a form of humanitarian aid, back in sept. 2013.

Not that i'm interested in getting into the group, but your premise is flawed.

14. I haven't had any of them ask me to take them off of ignore.

I wonder why.

7. contact a host from the group

8. why would you want back in?

[Baitball Blogger]

11. Because I think Obama is one of the better presidents that we have

had and I want the opportunity to show my support while I still can.

[steve2470]

12. you're unblocked now per Cha

Welcome back.

[Baitball Blogger]

15. Thanks everyone!

I hope other DUers sense the urgency of the next two years. We need to create a Democratic identity that we can all live with to build momentum for the next election.

17. That's sporting of you...

...considering just 3 hours ago that you posted that you and your brother were "reality" and that DU was "something else". You posted that shit in BOG and carefully reminded the balance of the board that it was your "group" so we couldn't contradict you. I found that a cowardly action.

[NYC_SKP]

13. And.... Done!

Welcome back and, yes, we need to stand united against the Right, who seem to be a bit more well-organized than we realized.
