1. My dear JDPriestly...

I wish you weren't leaving, but I understand.

[Duckhunter935]

2. I was #6

I tried

[RobertEarl]

3. That's terrible

This place is going down fast. You are a real treat to have on DU, JD. Sad that some are so mean.

[amborin]

4. fascism

[jillan]

5. I got a hide for saying that Hillary gif looked creepy. I didn't insult Hillary, I just didn't like

that gif!!

I could not believe it.

You will love it there.

[HubertHeaver]

9. They are overly sensitive about that gif. Its almost as if

it creeps them out too but they don't know why.

[arikara]

13. Its enough to creep anyone out. Its horrible.

She has the Nixonian V arms and crazed head bobbing thing just right and I swear I can hear the evil cackle even though there is no sound on the damn thing... thank Christ for small favours.

I despise that woman. They can throw me out for saying that if they want but I'll be leaving here once the boom comes down on the 16th anyhow. I'm just using this time to wean myself away from here as its been a 15 year addiction.

[KPN]

20. Hey, you guys should be censored!

[arcane1]

26. Remember, this is a place where you can be called sexist if you like her but don't like her logo nt

[NJCher]

6. you will find it a great relief

I will be happy to see you there.

There are so many familiar names that you will almost cry with joy to see them all. All good people, good, thoughtful posters. I've missed them terribly. Also, you will learn things there that you will never learn if you don't frequent the site.

Another thing, I have a tip for you. JPR is getting new software, but it's still in beta. Yes, I am planning to donate to help the effort. But for now, go get yourself the Readability app for your Chrome browser, and you can read it quite easily with that. This solves the main problem I have with it, which is that it's hard to read because the type is so small. Other than that, the s/w is OK.

15. Hides don't count anymore

You can get dozens of hides and keep posting!

No longer is it a community controlled atmosphere. Someone is making the decisions now. And the rest of us can't see your hides, or how many.

Just don't piss off the boss and you'll be fine.

This should have been an OP reply. Not to NJCher.

[KPN]

21. Wrong about the rest of us ...

5 hides and they're all made transparent to any registered member here.

[blackspade]

7. The alerter should be ashamed...

Emphasis on should.

[VulgarPoet]

18. I think they've had their shame-processing modules forcibly removed.

I mean, how do you support a neocon in one breath then claim democrat in the next?

[pangaia]

27. I think it is pretty easy for some.

The worm was implanted 25 or so years ago and has been eating the host ever since..

SO... it's like a sci-fi film.... the host turns into the worm.....or.. becomes a zombie...

Somewhere in my addled brain I still hope it can be turned around... but what do I know..


(Maybe i'll get another hide for this.. who knows...)

[SandersDem]

8. JPR 2.0

Is said to be launching just before this weekend. Even more motivation!

[jillan]

10. Awesome. I'm finding it easier than I thought it would be

[Iwillnevergiveup]

11. The world beyond DU

is still out there ready to embrace you and everyone else who appreciates the consistently fine posting you've done over lo these many years.

[Xyzse]

12. Thought they were waiting on the 16th to get things out of their system.

These minor little asides getting hidden is more than a little disappointing.

[KPN]

22. Haha. Waiting till the 16th. Heck, they are chomping at the bit ...

just like the DNC in the past several days. Game CA (including the AP proclamation), invite Bernie to the WH the very next day so he can be ushered aside or look like a sore loser, still pressuring him to endorse ... and DC hasn't voted nor have the Party's rules/process for deciding the nominee been completed.

[Hiraeth]

14. I understand.

[Live and Learn]

16. Terrible hide but sadly not surprising these days. JPR is a great site and will only get better.

See you there!

Sad to see DU disintegrate like it has.

[senz]

33. I hope you've kept your hiking boot and sweet dog at JPR.

I will so miss them if they're gone.

[senz]

17. They're trying to thin our ranks, pick off the strong Sanders supporters.

Pretty soon there will be nothing left but an airless little echo chamber.

Since they like hierarchies and bullying, it will be interesting to see what they do when they have only each other.

JPR is the healthier choice.

[SwampG8r]

19. They will eat their own

Just like they did in08

[totodeinhere]

23. But that is so stupid. They will need us on Nov. 8.

They should be trying to be as nice as possible to us right now.

[senz]

25. Not true. They won't need a few thousand DUers.

The ones doing the alerting and hiding aren't Clinton campaign strategists, anyway. They're merely spiteful individuals on a message board.

Once DU starts the censorship period, it won't matter to the campaign if there are progressives on DU or not because our thoughts will not be here for anyone to read.

[totodeinhere]

29. By "us" I meant all Bernie supporters, not just the ones on DU.

If they don't need us why is the Clinton campaign conducting an outreach program to Bernie supporters?

[senz]

30. Okay, good. Sometimes people conflate the two.

This is just a message board although it is also read for news.

DU can't silence us, but the MSM can do it to a large extent. So our hope is in social media and other internet sites with commenting.

The Clinton campaign will probably start putting out progressive messages to attract Bernie supporters.

[Live and Learn]

40. They will turn on each other just like they use to.

If you look back a while you will see many current Hillary supporters tearing each other apart on issues like Black Lives Matter, police shootings and income inequality.

[KPN]

24. As one poster said above, they're thinning our ranks ... intentionally or unintentionally ...

by virtue of where they are eventually going: the way of the Democratic Party. After the GE at the latest, the Party will move further right to fill the void created by the GOPs demise. It's the way of two Party systems -- position to maximize votes. It's winning that matters, not principles.

[senz]

31. I was juror #1. Hadn't checked my inbox, surprised and sorry it was hidden.

DU is now sick with alert stalking. I won't miss this place.

[senz]

34. Interesting that it's that commenter.

She, like another on our side, was FFR'd, then returned to Active but didn't show up for a long time, then they reappeared, changed. Different. No longer saying the same things, chastened. I still think the admin made a deal with them. Maybe alert proofing is part of the deal?

[ieoeja]

35. Ain't deleting nothin'. I'm channeling my inner Walt Starr at the moment.

[senz]

36. Ha! I've got something in mind for that.

Not sure if I have courage to do it, but ... maybe.

Still, until they impose the deathly pall of censorship ("5 days" the sickos are warning us), I hate to lose any more good guys. It's beginning to feel prickly, ugly, and sick around here, and every "familiar face" is triply precious.

[ieoeja]

38. Above was my only current hide. So I afford a few. n/t

[Live and Learn]

41. I've never alerted but I am quite tempted to do so on the days left ones as spam. nt

[senz]

37. ...

Edited to take out the warning so's not to give someone any ideas...

[LiberalEsto]

39. That's awful

Hang in there!
