1. Unfreaking believeable. Sorry NanceGreggs. This is how far

DU has fallen over the cliff.

[pandr32]

50. "Over the cliff" is right!

I read the post and cannot understand those who voted to hide it, or why it was alerted on in the first place.

[BlueMTexpat]

2. Absolutely disgusting.

From today, I read and post ONLY in the AA Forum and the HRC Group.

I am thoroughly disappointed, berned out and disgusted.

[DemonGoddess]

3. OMG

They hid Nance's post because she objected to something her husband started being abused??? WTF is WRONG with people?

[shenmue]

19. Yipes

[Firebrand Gary]

4. Outright disgusting!

I seriously hope that admins are reviewing this! How in the world does someone let this stand?

[leftofcool]

6. Admins don't care

If they cared, this would have been stopped a long time ago.

[missingthebigdog]

12. Remember, all alerts go to the admins

Not a bad idea to make sure that the admins get lots of copies of this one....

[Firebrand Gary]

14. I did send it and Autumn blocked me from the group.

I was blocked for alerting on a post... Think about that.

[missingthebigdog]

17. That hasn't happened to me yet-

As far as I know. I guess I didn't know that alerts went to the group hosts.

[question everything]

5. My deepest condolences

I do remember the original DUzy award and I remember JeffR.

I was not aware of his passing. I hope you have great memories to cherish.

As for DU - not worth it.

P.S. I can see approaching Skinner about this, but, again, don't hold your breath.

[Beaverhausen]

7. There are no words for those people

At least a couple of them are "questioning" the thread. How big of them.

[MSMITH33156]

8. This is complete crap

You can say anything about Hillary and it's fine.

[Blue Idaho]

9. Simply Unbelieveable

This is really a travesty.

[JohnnyLib2]

10. I'm so glad that you spoke up, Nance.

And sickened by the hide of your post. JeffR's DUzys were such a delight and highlight every time they appeared that folks didn't want him to take any time off. On another level, they surely must have helped built the readership of DU...

You left, JeffR left, and so did the spirit. I join others in saying how sorry we are.

[spooky3]

11. Jury results - I was juror #1:

On Sun Mar 13, 2016, 10:36 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

The DUzy Awards - and the hijacking thereof.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027681281

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is disruptive meta, and a viscous call-out of Flying Squirrel. Nancy has no copyrights to anything posted on DU by her, her late husband, or anyone else.

JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Mar 13, 2016, 10:47 PM, and the Jury voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nance has the right to express herself and remind DUers about the intent behind the awards. She did so politely.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree completely with the alerter, this is a nasty call out of a decent poster who is doing nothing wrong.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Loved JeffR and the DUzy awards. They were a weekly treat. Even won a couple. But this is obviously meta, with a call out to boot.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Truly a rarity that I vote to hide, but in addition to the call out, the attempt to take what is now part of DU tradition and dictate its use among members is absurd.

[Beaverhausen]

13. Juror 7 is a fucking moron.

This whole thing is truly unbelievable. But I guess this kind of hateful crap showing up more and more at DU is emblematic of the country in general.

[rpannier]

26. I did not realize JeffR was the 'creator' of the DUzy

Makes it even more sad

I find the level of double standard sick and pathetic
I have seen people call out other DUers and say far more egregious things about them and their posts stand
I even called one out, got hidden (knew I would) because they were calling out another DUer.
Theirs stood for some (less than) unknown reason
i.e. They went after the kids in the unpopular group

I am glad Omahastave called this out as well
He gets along with many here and, I'd like to think, that with his urging others might listen
But... like so many cliques... You're either in or you're out.

On Fri Mar 11, 2016, 12:01 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

There is no fundamental difference between Dump supporters and BS supporters. n/t
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=69615

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Equating Trump supporters to Sanders supporters is disgusting and has no place on DU.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Mar 11, 2016, 12:09 AM, and voted 6-1 to HIDE IT.

[Bleacher Creature]

16. I've been here 12 years.

I don't post a ton, but spend quite a lot of time on this site.

Hands down, this is the single most despicable thing I've ever seen here. Sanders supporters need to speak up - right now - because this is 100% at their feet.

[Laurian]

18. A gut wrenchingly mean spirited hide.

What the ever loving hell is going on here? I'm totally disgusted with what DU has become.

[brer cat]

20. Remember that you can rec hidden posts.

Give Nance support if you haven't already. This was a very bad hide and further proof that the BS supporters want DU to be of, by and for them only.

[radical noodle]

23. Done!

That was a shameful hide. So sorry...

[rpannier]

27. I did

I learned it when I clicked the show button
Then I clicked the rec
Don't know why, cuz I'm not the nicest of persons or anything, but I found it disturbing that people would hide something written by the deceased's spouse about something that person had created

I'm more irritated that some people are acceptable targets and others are not.
I called out a disrupting troll (who got banned) when they were mocking a DUer.
My post got hidden, knew it would, so that's okay
But their sniveling whinefest did not

[NurseJackie]

41. Done! (I was #100)

I'll be so glad when this is over. I'm very much looking forward to Bernie's endorsement of Hillary.

[brer cat]

42. Me too!!!

Recs were in the 30s when I posted. Glad she is getting more support!

[Firebrand Gary]

21. Here's whats coming for them, this is Skinner's from the 2008 primary.

Welcome to the General Election. So, what does this mean for Democratic Underground?
Posted by Skinner in General Discussion: Presidential (Through Nov 2009)
Wed Jun 11th 2008, 12:33 PM
Now that the Democratic presidential primaries are over, and the seven-day transitional period here on DU has passed, it's time to start looking forward to the General Election between Barack Obama and John McCain.

I think the switch to General Election mode has gone better than expected so far, and I honestly believe that the vast majority of visitors to this website have not had any difficulty moving forward and coming together to support our presidential nominee. Indeed, most of the people who were very active in the heated primary discussions of the past six to nine months have already made great efforts to rebuild the bridges they burned during that time. I'm very glad to see this - but not entirely surprised, considering that the differences between Senator Obama and Senator McCain are so vast and so glaringly obvious.

Unfortunately, there will be a very small number of people on both sides of the former Obama-Clinton divide who want to keep fighting the primaries. I know from previous experience that some of these people will not be able to let it go for years, and may never fully come to terms with what has happened. Hopefully these people will be able to find solace elsewhere because as of today there is no place on DU for those who seem committed to a never-ending rehash of the 2008 Democratic primaries.

If you are wondering what will be permitted here from now on, here is a short excerpt from our rules:

Constructive criticism of Democrats or the Democratic Party is permitted. When doing so, please keep in mind that most of our members come to this website in order to get a break from the constant attacks in the media against our candidates and our values. Highly inflammatory or divisive attacks that echo the tone or substance of our political opponents are not welcome here.

You are not permitted to use this message board to work for the defeat of the Democratic Party nominee for any political office. If you wish to work for the defeat of any Democratic candidate in any General Election, then you are welcome to use someone else's bandwidth on some other website.

[Tarheel_Dem]

22. WoW! Call me a pessimist, but I don't see this being fixed anytime soon. It might affect traffic.

[NBachers]

24. I warned you about being so viscous, Nance!

We've been overrun and infested by the Bob Boudelang wing of the Democratic Underground.

[Cha]

25. I just got a SOP alert on your OP, leftofcool .. a BS fan doesn't want us talking about this in

our Group.

They can do anything in theirs but we can't talk about our buddies in ours. Who does that?!

[rpannier]

28. Why not?

I would be less upset about people getting in trouble for calling others out and complaining about the jury system...
if it applied across the board

But it does not

[Cha]

31. Exactly, rpannier.. thank you for being one who's not cool with the inequity.

[William769]

33. It takes a fearless person to send that type of SOP alert. nt.

[leftofcool]

38. I don't care what they want or like.

[Loki]

46. ^Amen^

[Loki]

45. Cha, I told you they are stalking us.

I've had two post hidden in one week. I won't risk my posting privileges here, but this has to stop. They want us silenced.

[Cha]

47. I know they do and it's happening right out in the open for all the board to see. Everyone.

So Sorry you got two posts hidden, Loki.

the jury system is FUBARED.

[Loki]

49. They can post some of the most offensive, dismissive and

downright lies, but never let a chance go by to alert you when you contradict them. I have lost respect for so many people I have seen on this board since I came here in 2001, it's unbelievable than they have become "unthinkers" but following zealots. Zealotry in any of it's forms, is dangerous.

[Cha]

57. Totally agree.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

51. Let's be grateful that Bernie would be disgusted by their actions. Under a Bernie presidency

he would denounce so many people who are current supporters.

[Cha]

58. Nah, not from what I've seen... no worries there's not going to be a BS presidency.

[Beaverhausen]

29. The OP deleted the DUzy thread

Lots of posts and threads against it.

I guess he/she grew a conscience.

[Cha]

32. I didn't read it but it must have been upsetting for Nance to be compelled to

write what she did about it.

[William769]

34. Damn sure wasn't because they grew a conscience.

[Beaverhausen]

35. Have you seen this?

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027681406

[William769]

36. Yes.

Thank you for the link though.

[betsuni]

[lunamagica]

37. K&R.

[DemonGoddess]

39. K&R!

Wish I could kick Nance's thread too.

[JSup]

40. Being disgusted by fellow human beings is becoming a regular thing

I was disgusted by this; literally nauseous that people could choose to be so UNhuman.

But upon reading the thread that Nance linked to I did see some Bernie supporters similarly disgusted at the hiding of her post and I felt a little better.

[Coolest Ranger]

43. I reced it just

because they hid it. God I'm sick of silencing people and Skinner sits back and does nothing

[GusBob]

44. Just think if these folks get in power

/redacted/

[mcar]

48. K&R

[Buzz Clik]

52. Total bullshit, but par for the course.

The admins have lost this site.

[kjones]

53. HRC supporters...The Democratic Underground of the Democratic Underground.

But hell, Nance's post wasn't even tangential to the HRC-BS divide,
it was plain and simple "Please don't be disrespectful of this, it's
important to me."

[UtahLib]

54. More proof of what we already knew.

Keep up the good work, Nance. We stand with you.

[Gothmog]

55. I stand with Nance

[book_worm]

56. I blame the administrators of this site as much as anybody

for how bad things are around here. They could speak up like KOS has done, but aren't.
