The original thread was here. I advise you to peruse it:

1. given his history, that picture just makes me sad

she looks so beautiful there.

[MADem]

2. So, even a tweet from the SPOUSE of a candidate has to go in GD-P?

A tweet having nothing to do with the race?

Who makes those rules?



If Chelsea Clinton posts something about her kid, does that go in GD-P, too?

smh.

The original thread had some childish and vicious comments in it. What is wrong with people?? I'm sure their chosen candidate (and I have some questions about who that candidate might 'actually' be) is just thrilled with their behavior!

The bitter is strong with some!

[artislife]

21. I thought it would be better suited in the Hillary group

but have no real issue with it being here.

Their marriage is their's alone. Their choices are their's alone. I respect their privacy and just celebrate that they are together and happy together.

And will still vote for my candidate in the caucus.

[MADem]

22. My beef was booting it out of GD. It was about a former President's tweet,

not a candidate's campaign.


It was a GD topic, not a GD-P one. It wasn't about the Democratic Primary....but I see how things roll around here.

[artislife]

25. That is strange, I agree.

[uppityperson]

30. Being a couple days pre-convention, everything related to Democratic Candidates is

about the primary. Locks do not count against a duer like hides do.

A better place to address this might be in ATA.

[MADem]

34. No--this is a great place to discuss this--to get a sense of the community on this matter.

A former POTUS made mention of his wedding anniversary. The thread was trashed and locked and directed over here.

Now there's a move afoot to run it out of here, too.

If that doesn't stink on ice I don't know what does.

Hosts don't have any authority over ANY post below the one that starts the thread in the Big Forums. I think that hosts need to get correct and understand that.

I also think it might be a good idea to have term limits for hosts in the forums. A little fresh air during a contentious season can't hurt.

[uppityperson]

35. Most people who Host do know and most only consider that the OP is what is looked at.

Again, if more duers volunteered to be Hosts, the waiting list would be longer and it'd take longer to get back on once the 90 day term is over. Get more duers to volunteer as Hosts and it won't be an issue.

[Chan790]

58. I would agree.

This has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton's campaign for President beyond Hillary being the wife of the former President celebrating his wedding anniversary. Claiming this is a GD topic seems like a stretch to me.

[sufrommich]

3. Thank you for posting this. Sorry your original

thread got shit on and inexplicably locked.

[99Forever]

4. What does this have to do with primaries?

[sufrommich]

5. Ask the hosts who closed the GD thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027252072#post22

[99Forever]

7. No sir. You ask them.

Now please answer the question or have the author self-delete the OP.

Thank you.

[sufrommich]

9. I don't have to delete shit and neither does the poster

who actually posted the OP. The hosts told OP to post it here,take your demands to them.

[zappaman]

10. How authoritarian.

[betsuni]

27. LOL, good one. nt

[dsc]

20. who the hell to you think you are?

You don't even donate here and you think you have the right to tell people what they can and can't post, especially after they were directly told to post it here.

[MADem]

29. What moxie--who died and made you boss? nt

[LuvLoogie]

57. Reminds me of that little tough guy

in Gangs of New York.

[MADem]

24. Not a goddamned thing--but the GD hosts booted it. nt

[Indepatriot]

6. Is it just me?, or is he looking over her shoulder?...

[zappaman]

8. Why did the hosts lock this in GD and what does this have to do with the primaries?

Waiting for the same feces flinging from a certain candidates "supporters" we saw in your now inexplicably locked thread.

[sufrommich]

11. It had nothing to do with the primaries,this has

more to do with the primaries than the locked OP:


http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027250800#post8


Some OPs are more equal than others.

[zappaman]

12. We need term limits for hosts.

It's broken.

[uppityperson]

16. Hosts can only volunteer for 90 days in a row. Did you really not know they have term limits?

[zappaman]

19. Not true.

They can get right back in line after 90 days.
If there's no waiting list, they are right back on.
Yes, sometimes they have a week break.

How about 90 days on, 90 days off?

[uppityperson]

23. That is true if only 30 DUers volunteer as Hosts. If more would volunteer, there would be

a longer wait list. Have you volunteered? Are you hoping for there to be very few Hosts rather than 30? Why?

How about more people volunteer rather than blocking those who do?

[zappaman]

33. Yes i have and have seen first hand how dysfunctional it is.

Like the hosts who continually sign up to NOT participate unless one of their buddies is under discussion and suddenly...BAM...there they are with a "strong leave".
I'm not the only one to notice it.

[uppityperson]

36. Being a Host can be difficult and I agree, wish those who volunteer participated regularly,

whether Host or mirt. Many try to keep the greater DU issues out if those forums, but there are enough who don't to make things difficult at times. I've volunteered as a Host before but not very and to finish out the 90 days because of that, this time I am working hard to do so. It is too easy to bring other things into the volunteer moderation forums, is a good skill to practice not doing so.

I wish more duers volunteered for Host and MIRT.

[zappaman]

37. I find MIRT to be much more pleasant and rewarding.

It seems like grudges are left at the door.
Of the many terms I've done at MIRT, only one person abused it and was not invited back.
They, of course, are one of the "permanent hosts" I talked about...

[uppityperson]

38. Yup, and yup. ETA

One of the reasons I stay out of threads about the primary and have not declared who I back is because I want to be able to be a good host/mirt volunteer rather than get into nitpicking arguments. I know, I am "special" (said with a smile).
=
And
=

[MADem]

26. I agree. nt

[demmiblue]

17. Did you alert on it?

The hosts won't lock it if it is not alerted on.

Edit: I just alerted on that post. We will see what happens.

[MADem]

28. This post was run out of GD, and directed over here by the GD hosts.

Now you're advocating that it be run out of here, too?

I don't think it belongs here, but I also don't think it has to be relegated to a partisan corner of DU.

This is a tweet from a former Democratic POTUS--not a candidate for office. It should not have been booted from GD, but some topics are more equal than others, apparently.

[demmiblue]

44. What the heck are you going on about?

My response was to sufrommich and the link she provided in her post.



Get a grip and stop making up shite where shite doesn't exist. Can't say I am surprised, though.

[72DejaVu]

40. Some people won't be happy

until no mentions of the Clintons are allowed.

[one_voice]

14. In my opinion...

the original thread shouldn't have been locked. Unless Bill & Hill are now running against each other; this has nothing to do with the primaries and belongs in GD.

[roguevalley]

15. I don't get the lock and the posting here. This is a nice sentimental picture

and maybe even belongs in the lounge or general discussion. It rather is poignant for her considering what a shit heels he became at some point. She looks great.

[oasis]

18. We'll surely see this again at the Democratic Convention.

Thanks for the preview.

[whatchamacallit]

31. That's a lovely picture of them

Now give up the megalomaniacal quest, Hillary. Go home and enjoy your retirement.

[ish of the hammer]

32. "I smoked, but I didn't inhale."

yeah, Bill said that.

[zappaman]

39. Yes, we know.

Would you like to tell us about Vince Foster too?
Or how about Jennifer Flowers?

I guess those 8 years of peace and prosperity really bothered you, eh?

[ish of the hammer]

41. I don't like liars on

principle.

[Gloria]

60. I think what he said was entirely PLAUSIBLE....

Back in those days, pot was not exactly mainstream...

I was at college parties with joints all over the place....lots of peer pressure to smoke....so, I took the joint, pretended to smoke...but I didn't inhale!

Same thing a few years later at a Stones concert in Madison Square Garden....took it, and pretended....

Entirely plausible....

[ish of the hammer]

43. Bill was real peaceful when Rowanda happened, black people.

Bombed Bosnia to stop the massacres, white people.

[zappaman]

45. Yes, I'll bet you were VERY concerned about "Rowanda".

[ish of the hammer]

46. "Rowanda" happened when the government led Hutu's, mostly incited by radio, hacked

to death one million Tutsi, over a period of several months.
I honestly cannot remember ANYTHING that the Clinton administration did about it.
Perhaps you can refresh my memory?

[zappaman]

47. Never heard of "Rowanda"

Guess I'm not as informed as you.

[ish of the hammer]

48. Thanks for the spelling lesson

Point stands.

[zappaman]

49. You're welcome.

Usually people know how to spell something they find important.

[ish of the hammer]

50. It really is a memory to me.

I did not see the movie, I watched it in real time on the TV.
And, again, I cannot remember anything the Clinton administration said or did.
If my misspelling of the name proves anything, it proves that people make mistakes.
So prove my memory is wrong. That the Clinton admin did the equivalent in "Rowanda" as they did in Bosnia.
And to tell the truth, I don't want the Clinton's administration INACTION here to go down the memory whole.

[72DejaVu]

42. He also said

"I do solemnly swear that I will faithfully execute the office of President of the United States, and will to the best of my ability, preserve, protect, and defend the Constitution of the United States."


Get over it.

[ish of the hammer]

56. I really did not want to go there,

but, there you are. and here you must STOP!

[onehandle]

53. Petty. nt

[mainstreetonce]

51. Someone should send Trump

this picture of really good hair.

[onehandle]

52. Real hair.

Real lots o' hair.

[Iliyah]

55. Sweet pic. Happy Anniversary!
