could be simply AA, or could have a mixture of sexism. all women that get kicked off du cause they do not coddle. it is the tone you know.

why would this be hid. 4 prosanders, and off the board you go.

just awareness. not anything any of us can do. EVERY post is rolling the dice for some of us women. each with a tone issue, per a majority. EVERY post just needs 4 to decide a voice needs to be shut down.




this is meta. meta is not allowed in GD or GDP. meta is allowed in groups, if a host should choose to allow.

let alone hide it.

I've tried to use humor to de-escalate with Sanders supporters with some success. I bear no one on this site any ill will.

None of the posters you've identified wished ill on anyone either.

Somehow, some way, people have got to realize it's no good to have just a Bernie Underground, or AnyoneElse Underground.

What I see lately is a steady effort to grind down candidates, posts and posters.

I've got news for all these grinders: There is no perfect candidate! NOT ONE OF THEM IS WITHOUT FLAWS!

And get a grip on posts you may not like! Each post is made by a person. For pete's sake pretend they are sitting across from you...maybe then you'll choose your language more carefully.

And jurors, imagine it was your post, or a good friend's. Are they really attacking someone in an out of line way, or just saying something many might disagree with?

This site is what we all make it.

If you all want a monolithic Fox News type site....keep going, you'll get there eventually!

this is my position. and the direction i come from. a poster says sanders will SAVE the democratic party.

as a lifetime dem, that is highly offensive and i see no one man as my savior.

3 of the posts hidden was her using the word swiftboat. amazing hides.

that very day i read her hides i had a couple three people accusing me of swiftboating sanders. would not have even considered alerting. the point. it really does not matter what we say, it is merely that we say and four people come along with an agenda.

The alert stalking here has become overwhelming. It is almost as though it is deliberately organised to shut up women and AA especially.

The losses are mounting and they are very hard to take. " it really does not matter what we say, it is merely that we say and four people come along with an agenda." You are absolutely correct.

people see doing this to supporters of other candidates as doing their part to help their candidate win.

it's insane, but it won't stop as long as there's a primary going on, and we have a jury system

how is it any less than a mob rule or bullying?

i have always tended to the underdog, hence defense of clinton that i am not a supporter of. i really do not get the person that can stand in a strong majority, 80-85% and abuse that power. nothing in me can fathom the person that makes that choice.

after a jury voted 2-5 to let slide an attack article from some egregious wingnut source.

A cesspool. No real opportunity to learn anything, and there's really nobody there trying to learn anything.

It's partisan point scoring, in a very juvenile sense.

I recommend trashing it. You won't miss it.

One of her hides was for calling out sexism, which as we know is a far worse crime than engaging in it.

Consider going to Facebook.

Do you remember that PM you sent me "Who are you?"



That was my favorite PM of all time.
I'm one of your biggest fans.

I'll tell you more later.
That is, if I can ever figure out how this damn thing works.

She is on time out again. Hide 8/25 8/27 8/30 9/2 9/3.She will be gone for a long time.

At least I can talk to her on another site we found. I spend less time here these days. Trying to let my hides fall off. One in 2 weeks another 2 weeks later one other will take longer.

Hope you had a great summer, one of the things I PMed you was asking about the road trip you were trying to make happen. Hope it was great.

I don't want to say much on the board. Some hate me here.

I will be 63 in a week. 4 weeks after that I will be losing my job. Ya, written warning a month and a half ago. I make my figures or I am gone. I am terrified. It has become cut throat in our store, they have told us all we make figures or are gone. So the stealing of sales is in full force. Ha! Lost 10k in the last 2 weeks. I have a paper trail, yet they say they qualified the customer so they get the sale.

I am tired and scared. I am so scared. There is no way in hell I will write 125K in 5 weeks.

Please PM me.

Everywhere in the world, the .01% are demanding more and more from us for less and less from them, and then setting the rest of us to fight in a pit for a pittance, and their entertainment.

I wish you very well, and hope that you find some way of making it.
