by some of the hypersensitive mods; I guess it simply depends upon their mood.

who can't 'block' anyone, though they can lock threads. But not for posting this.

Did you mean 'jury members'?

It has to fall under a specific category of violation, which I don't think it does.

This cartoon is still suggesting that a democrat should support Hillary, even if Bernie was their preference.

I think the preponderance of Sanders' supporters are of that mind.

and that sentiment goes down fine in the General Forums. I don't even remember the exact wording of the post they removed and banned me for in the Sanders group, but I think it was along those lines. And I guess it doesn't matter I was a Bernie backer right out of the gate, but things have changed.

They say timing is everything.

It's your PEERS who make these decisions. Not "almighty" or "hypersensitive" mods.

smh.

There's a TOS for this place that explains it all. Link at the bottom of every page.

I must have missed something in that latest round of rules changes. I thought I read them all, but maybe not.

and my reference to "mods" should have read "hosts", which shows another blind spot of mine: I assumed that a Host of one of these "Main" forums could also delete a post, like they can do in a "Group". I guess they cannot.

e.g. an opinion piece in LBN. Anything downthread goes to a jury.

Group hosts can delete any post and block the poster; the groups are pretty much fiefdoms for like-minded people.

5. We Cannot Let Trump Win

He and a good deal of his supporters are a dangerous combination of stupid and crazy.

Sam Bee sent three of her staffers to wander the convention hall and talk to Trump lovers. OMG dumber than a mud fence, it would be funny but it's more alarming at this juncture.

We had 8 years of Bush and the damage he caused reverberates today and into the foreseeable future. But this feels different and infinitely more threatening for all of us.

Everyone I have voted for I have disagreed with on several issues. I just vote for whoever is preferable to his or her opponent. And this time around it's the easiest choice ever.

This cartoon describes me but as Michael Moore pointed out this morning... this means I'll vote in November but I won't bring 5 others along with me.
