I've been blocked again

[NowSam]

I have been blocked from the Hillary group for some time and today I just got blocked from the Florida group for making a hanging chad reference. I didn't know it as the FL group when I posted. I don't always see the group if it is in the latest threads area. So I chimed in with a little joke about chads. Sorry, Florida, for offending you. I think you your blocking response was a bit harsh but whatever. I don't live there and hopefully never will. Isn't DWS from FL? Isn't she this year's Katherine Harris? Anyway, I guess at the rate I'm going I won't have many friends on DU.

3. Thank you, Dana_b!

I needed that. I am grateful for sane, like minded folks like you.

5. no problem.

we all need friends right now. It's getting brutal out there.

I am trying to watch my own behavior but I notice that this primary season is not always bringing out the best in me.
When I do feel myself getting unusually irritable, I step back and get out of GDP!! lol..

2. I had to go over and check it out

It actually made me chuckle. Unfortunately, you ran up against someone who has zero sense of humor.

4. I know, right?

I guess I hit the nerve directly.

6. A Block from the Hillary Group is nothing to brag about

You barely have to mention Bernie Sanders name. Or quote their own candidate's past statements. Or have any kind of pro-Sanders graphic in your sig. Let alone have any kind of dissenting opinion in hopes of a debate on the issues.

They now have a whole thread in there patting themselves on the back about their scorched earth policy and how they don't care if they are the worst at tolerance and ban more in their group than in the Bernie group.

More and more desperately clinging to their small bubble where everything is beautiful and all they have to do is put their fingers on their ears and go "la la la la la la.." and wait it out, count on the Super Delegates to eventually put their rightful queen on the throne.

8. The Super Delegate thing is a travesty.

You are right - it is no big feat to be blocked from there. LOL. It is frustrating because the natural urge to reach the HC voter and ask why? How? and then urge them them to listen, just listen to what Bernie says, from the source...it is maddening not to be able to reach them as human beings. Is it pride? Is it denial? Is it fear? Is it that they are all paid shills? What is it? Why can't we reach them?

9. If the "trash forum" facility actually worked, I suspect it would be less of an issue.

I trashed the Hillary forum, yet I still keep seeing their posts. I have little sympathy for Berners who go in there deliberately to troll and claim that the resultant ban is a "badge of honor" (what's honorable about it?) But I wonder how many people end up there by accident via a link from the home page?

10. Yes that's what happened to me...I stumbled in there unawares

Saw a headline and clicked on the OP without bothering to see where it was posted.

And that's why I was shocked to suddenly, on my very first post in there, get a "new message" from a host banning me, complete with a snarky comment. It was a few months ago so I cannot even recall exactly what I posted. But it was something very benign and not antagonistic at all, something to do with getting along with each other. After that I figured they are militaristicly defensive of their candidate and just need a safe space to lick their wounds, but I'm fine with that. They can have their little bubble if that's what they need to get through the day.
