Well I've done it now.

[Firebrand Gary]

I had a reply hidden for telling a Bernie Bro with 43 posts to get lost after discovering that nearly their entire lot of 43 posts were all hit pieces on Hillary.

I'd like to personally take a moment and thank the jury for their impartiality, I think in my ten years of affiliation with DU its the first time I've had anything hidden. Times, they are a changing...

[Cha]

1. "impartiality".. lol

[bravenak]

2. A sign of the times!!

[MADem]

3. There will be no dissent~!

Hides will continue until morale improves!

[Cha]

4. LOL! perfect!

[betsuni]

5. LOL. (Also "Incoming: POUTRAGE!" "whining" etc.)

[Firebrand Gary]

8. Hahaha thanks for the laugh MADem!

[betsuni]

6. Bet you your post will be alerted on.

"Berniebro" is a heinous insult which cannot be borne.

[Cha]

10. lol

[sheshe2]

14. No shit!

[Firebrand Gary]

11. I wouldn't be surprised, but then again I did make it a point not to direct at the person.

Which is why I chose not to mention their name. Some members of DU are so polarized right now that, they cannot (or chose not) or willfully allow disrupters because they believe that it benefits their agenda.

We will get pass this, but its going to be one hell of a healing process.

30. It's not polarization. Let's call it what it really is: tyranny.

If this is their brand of progressivism or liberalism, I want NO part of it. If the true Bernie supporters who are liberals stand up to these tyrants, then this board would be a far better place.

[Iliyah]

31. Ditto

If this is their revolution, I say no. I rather live in a Democracy.

[BlueCaliDem]

32. I LIKE our democracy. Is there room for improvement? Always. But burning down the village in order

to save it is not my idea of progressivism. It's self-defeating and outright stupid.

[Cha]

33. Good on you, BlueCali.. calling it what it is.

[BlueCaliDem]

35. Mahalo, Cha! I just don't want us to lose sight of what's happening here.

Calling what they're doing "polarization" is too kind. What they're doing is what's been done in tyrannical countries since the dawn of mankind - shoving their ideas down the throats of bystanders, hammering down on dissenters who question them and their ideals, and censoring the critics. These are not the characteristics of a liberal community.

[Cha]

37. Exactly! "polarization".. meh.

One would totally need to call that out. And, what a good job you did.

[NBachers]

7. Here's a heart to console you

[Firebrand Gary]

9. Awww thanks!

Just the thought always does the trick!

[sheshe2]

15. You are such a sweet heart,.

[SunSeeker]

12. We've lost a lot of fine posters because of that sort of alert stalking.

I'm sorry you got that ridiculous hide. I hope they don't bully you off this board. I really enjoy your posts.

[Firebrand Gary]

13. Oh no my friend, I'm not going anywhere!

I'm sticking around for the long hall, we must landslide this upcoming election and I'm solid in my conviction that Hillary is the person to do it.

Hugs to you SunSeeker

[sheshe2]

16. Boom.

There you have it...the long haul.

I have been on vaca and quiet since I got back. I have shed enough hides now. I will raise my voice again.

[pandr32]

21. Ditto Kiddo

Totally agree!

[Cha]

17. Yes, we have, SunSeeker.. valuable members for any site whose only crime is supporting

Hillary Clinton for President.

There's nothing "democratic" about censoring when the posts are within the TOS and leaving posts that are not TOS.

[stonecutter357]

18. After what happend to 1SBM yesterday nothing surprises me.

[Firebrand Gary]

19. Insanity, 1SBM handles himself like a pro!

After the primaries, I look forward to seeing the changes that Skinner implements. So many people care about the site and want to see it used for a productive democratic purposes, like electing democrats.

[Stuckinthebush]

25. Holy hell!

I've been away due to work and didn't see this happen.

I hope that this is just a GOP troll coming to stir up crap. But, sadly, I think we have many racists and sexists who exist here under the name "progressive".

May they all leave when Hillary wins.

[Cha]

28. Thank you for posting 1StrongBlackMan's stupid Hide here, stonecutter. That needs to be

rescinded.

[cosmicone]

20. Get with the program. It's a revolution damnit! n/t

[Coolest Ranger]

22. Welcome to the Hidden Post club

maybe we should start our own group here.

[stonecutter357]

27. " this posts has been hidden by a DU Jury" DanTex.

[BlueMTexpat]

23. I got my first hide ever

last week.

Never - ever - say anything even remotely capable of being interpreted as less than total adoration for the other candidate or you risk having your post hidden. Even when that post is in a protected group.

BS Alert-Stalkers are everywhere, it seems.

Join the club!

[Loki]

24. I've noticed that quite a number of them have only been here since 2016 and it's almost like

this is an example of a Rovian tactic to inundate a very Democratic/Progressive site with spammers. I've had a post hidden by Bernieites and I've been here since 2001. Never even got close to having that done before.

[2naSalit]

36. I have a speculation about that...

I suspect that the spamming is being oriented from the BS support groups to make that candidate less credible, there's giant smear campaign backed by tons of cash and anything that any of us might have considered way out of bounds as far as decorum is concerned, has been done away with over the years. We always have the same shepherds running the campaigns. I hope that the best candidate for the country wins. And I can hardly wait for the second week in November to get here.

I have taken to lurking more often than I sign in for now, it keeps me from getting involved in arguing with the troublemakers.

[Stuckinthebush]

26. Same here Gary

2 hidden in the past week.

15 years and no hides.

This ain't our old DU. It has become a haven for racists and sexists who think they are part of a progressive revolution. If that's progressive, count me out.

[BlueCaliDem]

29. You forgot the quotation marks around "impartiality".

[BooScout]

34. MIRT just took him out....

[Firebrand Gary]

38. Thank you MIRT!
