I really was trying to be respectful of their space

Ah well, I never was going to post there anyway

I'm just shocked they're 2 away from 700

and was called out on that by none other than Nobel Peace prize winner Lord Trimble

Wow I'm in the top 200!

I can't believe they're actually closing in on 700!!!!

Don't they realize how bad this looks on them? When people say that they aren't open minded or they live in a bubble over there, this list PROVES IT. For the love of christ, you cannot look at that list and honestly say there are 698 trolls on this site that have all crossed a line over there.

Wow.

They got me - that's a pretty thin-skinned bunch. Not even the mildest criticism is allowed, it seems.

and wasn't aware that they were such delicate flowers. Somebody was whining about how Bernie tries to keep Hillary from speaking because he wags his finger. There was a video clip, and on the video it shows Hillary interrupting Bernie. I pointed out that she was interrupting him, and that he didn't prevent her from speaking, and out I went....

The pace at which people are blocked is astonishing.

I think I was banned in the 300-400 range.

Wow, those statisstics are really something.

All I did was to suggest that calling for a debate in Flint might not be a good idea, since it would bring lots of people into a city already struggling with providing water for its residents.

No harsh words, just a boot out the door.

And I was being really polite, too. In honesty I didn't notice it was a group post. Groups really should be safe zones ... so I don't care.

But man they're touchy when confronted with facts!

Welcome aboard. You're not missing much.

Unlike many it seems, I knew where i was posting. Figured hey, pointing out that a dude was just straight-up lying to the group might be a nice gesture. NOPE. Oh well.

I also got banned from the Barack Obama Group in 2013 for pointing out to someone that missiles are not a form of humanitarian aid. By the same person, I think.

"I also got banned from the Barack Obama Group in 2013 for pointing out to someone that missiles are not a form of humanitarian aid."

Definitely poor manners to point that out.
