A mistake was made. I am genuinely fond of MaryM. I appreciate everybody who came to my defense and I hope to continue to be worthy of your support. Why can't we be friends?

[Le Taz Hot]

1. Because it's the primaries.

Exhibit A: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251653290#post41

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Huh

The dispute in this thread was over a matter of fact. I like Mary and felt bad when several posters admonished her in my defense. That is 180 degrees different than our poisoned tete a tete in the thread you linked.

[Le Taz Hot]

3. You think that was "poisoned?

LOL! I'll try to remember what a delicate flower you are next time and tread more lightly.

[99Forever]

23. Delicate Flower?

I guess that one way of seeing it.

[emulatorloo]

46. Poor baby. dsb is so scary!

[mcar]

4. Wow

DSB posts something nice and it's immediately pooped on. Not nice.

Thanks for the try DSB.

[Le Taz Hot]

6. I was just reminding DSB that calling for Kum Bah Ya

is a little late. And funny how you guys completely ignore positive Sanders threads when the Hil Swarm invades. Selective viewing, I suppose.

[Puglover]

16. Exhibit B

Gutter shit like this:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251655175

[1StrongBlackMan]

20. You equate that to calling someone a liar? Wow. n/t

[Puglover]

24. OMG Someone on the internets called someone a liar?

Do you want to alert the media or should I?

I really don't know what you are talking about nor do I care.

[1StrongBlackMan]

27. Then why comment?

[Number23]

39. Such rage from some, huh?

So much and such terrible rage.

Well, at least you're not being called a zombie troll again. Today.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

40. I didn't know so many people hate 1SBM and me.

eom

[Number23]

41. Hate is probably too strong a word, but regardless, just consider the sources of so much of this

animosity, try not to laugh, and keep right on doing you.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

42. IRL, I literally have no enemies

And haven't had enemies for decades and decades.

I met two people irl who like Bernie. I just changed the topic.

[1StrongBlackMan]

47. Yeah ...

I guess there is that.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

25. I like Mary a lot. She has always been kind to me. We worked it out.

It made me look really bad but I trust that wasn't her intention. That was the purpose of this thread.

[1StrongBlackMan]

28. Oh ... I understand. And it is good on you. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

31. I treat people like they treat me...

I inadvertently followed a link to the Bernie group and got some blowback. She sent me a PM and said I was welcome to post there. But I stay out of all the candidate forums, all of them...

[1StrongBlackMan]

33. I hear you ... though I do frequent the M O'M group to get the latest low down. n/t

[DemocratSinceBirth]

34. I have never made even one post in the HRC group./nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. Oh Noes ... You must be a deep, deep, deep under-cover Bernie supporter ...

How else are we to know your true candidate preference, unless your post to the group?

LOL

[oasis]

21. How many Hillary supporters replied to the OP or

made negative comments

[DemocratSinceBirth]

22. I was Juror #2

On Wed Oct 7, 2015, 07:12 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Sanders is losing to someone who isn't even in the race yet
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251655175

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"It's over fanboys" Over the top rudeness.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Oct 7, 2015, 07:24 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a Sanders supporter... I say, grow a thicker skin.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I voted to leave it alone but this is not remotely helpful.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's childish but what are you gonna do.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's that season when (fill in the blank) Bluejazz
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: no ruder than what i've seen coming from sanders supporters and a lot of their rude posts are allowed to stand
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert is frivolous.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

[Puglover]

26. I don't alert AT ALL anymore.

Let the crap stand I say.

And yeah, lame alert.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I didn't call it a lame alert. I said it was unhelpful but also not hide worthy.

eom

[1StrongBlackMan]

5. I love that album ...

favorite song: HeartBeat

Probably the first "Rap" joints (1974)

Damn ... Now I'm thinking of 13 year old, Baseball shirt, Stacks and Bell Bottoms (to the floor, covering shoes) wearing me, sneaking into my sister's basement party, after spending all day getting my 'Fro just right, to do the Bump with Cheryl (the only one of my sister's friends that would dance with Sister1SBM's little brother ... in public!) ... Sighhh

[DemocratSinceBirth]

7. I told you this story

When I was in hs I used to spit Ohio Players lyrics like this at my black friends and they thought I was crazy:


You are a bad bad Mrs.
In them skin tight britches
Runnin' folks in ditches

[1StrongBlackMan]

8. I used to buy the Ohio Players' ablums ... just for the album covers ...

https://www.google.com/search?q=ohio+players+album+covers&biw=1280&bih=917&tbm=isch&tbo=u&source=univ&sa=X&sqi=2&ved=0CBwQsARqFQoTCMab96a5scgCFYGagAodpX4IsA

But, I have always thought their music was about 5 years ahead of their time.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

10. In the 70s/early 80s I was a huge...

In the 70s/early 80s I was a huge...

Earth Wind And Fire
Brothers Johnson
McFadden & Whitehead
Ohio Players
Barry White
Parliament Funkadelic
Isley Brothers (pre Soft Side stuff)

fan

WoW, when I was a senior at North Miami Beach Senior High a buddy of mine's dad was Barry White's manager. He was killed in a draw bridge accident on the 163rd Street Bridge.

[1StrongBlackMan]

15. Let's not forget ...

Graham Central Station!

And this one:

Got me more than a dance from Cheryl.

[SidDithers]

48. Larry Graham is seriously cool...

Fun fact. In "Everyday People", Graham plays the same bass note through the entire song.

Sid

[1StrongBlackMan]

49. I didn't know that; but, I would argue that Larry Graham was the best bassist ...

of all times ... second, maybe, only to Bootsy Collins.

[bettyellen]

17. I love Galaxy!

[in_cog_ni_to]

9. After all the Bernie hate/lies that's been dished out? Wow. Now that's some Chutzpa.

12. Why don't you read the linked posts before you attack me

My correspondence with Mary:

Thank you again, Brain. Take care

[in_cog_ni_to]

13. I don't need to read those threads. I've read plenty of other toxic Bernie hate threads.

I've seen enough to know who I do or don't want to befriend. Ever.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

14. I started this thread because several people attacked Mary in defense of me...

I started this thread because several people attacked Mary who I am genuinely fond of in defense of me.

[in_cog_ni_to]

37. Okay. Then marym can be your "friend", if that's what she chooses. n/t

[polly7]

43. So did you go after those people when and where they attacked her? nt.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

44. Yes. The thread is linked at the top.

I said Mary and I are fine. At first I was upset because the sequence made me look like a liar or a fool.

[polly7]

45. Oh. Ok then.

[MoonRiver]

11. Obviously there's no point.

After the 2008 primaries a lot of people left DU for good. I suspect that will happen this time around too.

[1StrongBlackMan]

18. Why remain after the mission has ended? n/t

[MoonRiver]

19. Exactly

[PowerToThePeople]

30. No self deletes of those lies.

No acceptance of fake apologies.

Trashcanning this POS.

[yallerdawg]

35. How about one for marym?

[wyldwolf]

38. Why the need to call officials to confirm (protest)?

We saw it earlier in the cycle when people here were calling polling firms to argue methodology with them. Now they're calling congressman's offices to do much the same? Sheesh.
