[NYC_SKP]

1. She last poste last Thursday, July 3.

Here:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025192877

I hope she is well.

[blm]

2. She believes in accuracy - an admirable trait, imo.

Especially on the internet. I hope she is well and only on vacation with her family....with no internet.

[Skidmore]

3. I was wondering about her yesterday too.

Hope all is okay with her.

[L0oniX]

4. The NSA has taken her to HQ's to gain more facts and insight on Snowden?

[BillZBubb]

177. True, NSA "facts" at that.

[mike_c]

5. Prosense went to IGNORE a long time ago....

eom

[truebrit71]

15. Moi aussi...

And my feed has been delightfully free of circular blue-links...

[Cha]

28. Lucky her.

[sheshe2]

103. +1!

[tarheelsunc]

158. +2. eom

[Number23]

205. Nailed it!

[dixiegrrrrl]

36. Maybe if enough people put a member on ignore

the member goes Poof!!!!! back to DU 2?????
I might a bit weak on the actual physics of that works....

[Mojorabbit]

162. Gosh that would be wonderful! nt

[Marrah_G]

48. yup, here also

many years ago

[LuvNewcastle]

86. Yep.

[trumad]

91. She ain't missing much.

[iamthebandfanman]

156. +1 nt

[kiva]

98. Edited.

My post wasn't in the spirit of the OP who is being nice.

[AverageJoe90]

137. What for?

I can understand that not everybody may agree with her, but I've never seen anything from her, that, in my honest opinion, could possibly warrant such.

I've put a few people on ignore myself, but that was only for being complete jerks, or looney, etc.

[mike_c]

141. she's like a broken record....

I just got tired of her relentlessly persistent defense of the indefensible.

[AverageJoe90]

144. I dunno Mike. I've seen stuff defended here that actually IS indefensible.

ProSense has done nothing of the sort, from what I can tell.

[freshwest]

145. +1

[SkyDaddy7]

164. +1

So TRUE!! She sticks to facts & does not get personal with people even when they do with her. People don't like structured arguments they can't just blow off with a snarky comment...This really bothers many here on DU & that is sad.

[LadyHawkAZ]

189. +1

[nomorenomore08]

184. I think it's her tendency to see President Obama as almost infallible.

While I like his positions on some issues, and I admire him on a personal level, the flaws in his policies (and there are many) must be pointed out as well. I dislike the "cheerleader" label as much as anyone, but sometimes it's not unjustified.

That said, I don't have ProSense - or anyone else - on ignore. I've never personally seen the need for that function.

[frylock]

160. yarp

[irisblue]

167. so how did you know about this thread then?

Seriously, if Prosense is ignored, do threads with Prosenses' name still show up?

[mike_c]

169. yes, only threads and other posts BY Prosense don't show up....

I'm surprised that some people seem so touchy about this. The IGNORE feature is there for just this reason, so that DUers who are generally disinterested in whatever someone has to say can simply edit them out of their DU experience. Prosense got on my last nerve a long time ago, so rather than engage in arguing with her, I simply ignore her. Better for my blood pressure, and I presume her's as well.

[irisblue]

172. Thanks for clarifying this

~huh~ seems a bit of a flaw in the ignore function. Again thanks.

[jeff47]

198. There's more than one ignore function.

If you ignore a particular person, you won't see their posts.
If you ignore by keyword, you won't see any posts that contain that keyword.

[Aerows]

202. Both are useful features. n/t

[bigtree]

10. whoa

Revoked on Jul 9, 2014
Reason: Troll.

[1StrongBlackMan]

133. Wonder if there's some kind of ...

"fair, balanced, equal equivalence" house-cleaning going on? Two widely followed, polar opposites, gone in two days.

[fishwax]

201. who was the other one?

I followed the quinnox drama but missed whoever else was banned.

[1StrongBlackMan]

207. I thought I read upthread that Prosense was "goned" too. eom

[fishwax]

208. oh, I see -- no, she's still here

she was maybe taking a vacation--from real life, DU, or both

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5219813

[DURHAM D]

12. At last

our long DU nightmare is over.

[hrmjustin]

13. After wjat he pulled I agree.

[grasswire]

82. considering the multiple comments your deleted post has generated in this thread

...it would be thoughtful if you would tell us all (who didn't see that post) who you are discussing.

[hrmjustin]

92. topic on a different poster. I will send you a pm

[mylye2222]

123. Keep your nastiness for yourself, would you?

[DURHAM D]

131. You don't know nasty and

clearly you have not kept up. Or, perhaps you are partial to racist and sexist trolls.

ETA: I just noticed the timing on your post and I would bet my house you don't even know who was the subject of the deleted post that I responded to.

[nomorenomore08]

186. What's funny is q's profile says his politics are "strongly liberal, with a capital L!"

If that's what passes for liberalism then we're all in deep shit.

[DURHAM D]

194. You are right - the post I responded to was about "q" being PPRed by EarlG.

I think that capital L is a play on words in that I believe he is/was one of many Libertarians who have settled in on DU.

Here is a pretty good description/discussion of what they are about - http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025216329#post166

[joeybee12]

19. Only 920 posts?

I assumed that person had been posting a lot more...always saw his/her posts here.

[Xyzse]

29. That is the transparency page. Actual number of posts is 20,600, likely more than that.

Since I feel, even with my posts, I don't think it completely accurate, the count mentioned in my profile.

[joeybee12]

53. Thanks...

Trying to hit 50K..wonder if I already have if the accounting system is flawed!

[Xyzse]

59. My goodness.

2003... I still feel like a noob here.

[joeybee12]

61. Ah yes, those were the days...

We loathed Bush and were united!

[Xyzse]

81. At that point, I was at the Kerry Boards.

I moved to commongroundcommonsense before it went out of service.
I moved here a few months after it went kaput since I needed another forum site.

[SwampG8r]

25. so even in a thread where concern for a philosophical opponent is being expressed

you cant keep from trying to stir up some shit?
why don't you go post a nice grave dancing thread of your own instead of doing this?
this thread is a thread about grudgingly earned respect for a fellow poster with whom I often disagree and concern for their absence
you know just because someone puts out a punchbowl doesn't mean you have to rush to put a turd in it.

[hrmjustin]

30. You should have seen the crap he caused in the host forum.

Sorry but I don't feel for him. He said some real crappy things and was called out on it.

[SwampG8r]

39. and thats relevant in this thread how?

this thread is about someone else

[hrmjustin]

44. Ok for you I will self delete it.

Last edited Wed Jul 9, 2014, 03:57 PM - Edit history (1)

Fyi for those who are curious it was about another poster and not prosense.

[SwampG8r]

52. thank you

I was hoping this would just be a best wishes if needed thread
but I look at the responses and I am saddened

I bet the road to hell really is paved with good intentions
I don't know if I should self delete it or just let it go on so maybe some here can see how......damn I don't have a word for less mature than childish......they are

[hrmjustin]

54. Prosense is likely on vacation. I love her too and unfortunately she gets insulted.

If she is not back by mid july then I would worry.


Might be good idea to ask people who know her here if her twitter or facebook page is active.

[AverageJoe90]

118. I know how she feels on that last part, btw.

Sometimes, being rational and levelheaded doesn't always make one a lot of friends. And yet, she's always been able to stick out for what she believes in.....and the facts that support her view. And I respect her for that.

[hrmjustin]

120. Agreed. She is a stand up member and the way they treat her is horrible.

[1StrongBlackMan]

134. It's not the rational and level-headed part ...

that's the problem ... it's the inventing terms, the falsely attributed support, the general "My vicariously experienced opinion equals your lived experience" posts that earn you scorn.

[snooper2]

60. Go Maduro!

LOL

[PowerToThePeople]

26. wow

Only 2 hides. One of his hides (the "I asked" thread) was in a 106 post thread where I can only see about 20 posts. Who was trolling who here?

[treestar]

31. Whoah

Didn't know it had come to that yet!

[hrmjustin]

33. The host forum was a mess last night.

[In_The_Wind]

116. Indeed.

That is an understatement.

[Cha]

32. WOW! Major Flameout and he's been "trolling" since 2002! Way to stay under

the radar until the eleventh hour!

[AverageJoe90]

114. I honestly don't know the full story behind this.....

though I honestly suspect he really did flame out at that point.

[BootinUp]

117. Johnny 5 Needs Input! Input Please!

A post with input was deleted! If i were not a robot I would be crying.

[AverageJoe90]

121. A "Short Circuit" fan, I presume? =)

In any case, my final word on the matter, is, I don't doubt that he may truly have gone off the deep end. It does happen. But I just don't know.

[n2doc]

7. Probably on a nice, long, government-paid vacation

Hopefully reconsidering what ideals they are supporting.

[Cha]

40. "Ideals"? like supporting Democratic principles? Is that your sly way of saying you think

she was paid by the Obama admin? "Reconsidering"? She has nothing to reconsider.. she's into reality which is more than I can say for those who constantly whine about her.

[bigtree]

78. one post was already taken down on this thread for suggesting she was a plant

. . . this one should be voted down too, although I would hope the poster would, themselves, reconsider their comment.

[Cha]

79. I saw that poster and didn't read it.. I knew it would be ugly.. and sure enough

.. so ugly he got himself a hide. thanks for that, bigtree. They never learn.

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5216397

[sheshe2]

100. I miss her too Cha!

[Cha]

102. Yes, like I posted downthread, she.. hope she's enjoying a great R&R and gearing up for

our Midterm Elections!

[Scootaloo]

155. "Party over principles" isn't really a principle. n/t

[840high]

214. ....

[Puzzledtraveller]

94. Owie!

[blm]

130. You're wrong, n2...she is just fastidious about accuracy. That may annoy some, but...

too bad...she's a very earnest person and a wonderfully warm human being.

She also doesn't give a flying fvck whether or not her posts are popular or not.

[G_j]

178. I believe you

but getting swamped with a bunch of links that I in no way have time to wade through all of, generally doesn't help to clarify my understanding of an issue. That's just me, anyway.

[blm]

191. Heheh....I wish the Dem party WAS smart enough to use her.

She's pretty thorough. I personally LOVE accuracy-fetish types and wish there was a news network that employed some of its practitioners. ; )

[mylye2222]

192. The party needs her. ..and needs you!!!!

Yiu on the side of Warren to expose corporations. And ProSense for her loyal support of real Progress.

[G_j]

195. I'm a stickler for links for sure

I guess my style is different. Yes, she would be a benefit to the Dem party. She definitely has a political bend.

[Mojorabbit]

163. + a gazillion. nt

[HERVEPA]

8. She has taken a position as a "yes woman" on the Obama White House staff

[ChisolmTrailDem]

9. Promoted and reassigned?

I keed, I keed. I was kinda wondering the same thing yesterday when I realized her posting volume had gone nearly to zero.

[Dreamer Tatum]

11. Attending a seminar moderated by Baghdad Bob, I reckon.

Snark very much intended.

[HERVEPA]

21. Perfect!

[William769]

14. There are some really shitty comments in this thread.

How would you feel if it was you, people were worried about?

I hope she is well and just on vacation.

[stevenleser]

17. The funniest knock some did on her was "the links". Factual backup became something to criticize

When the best folks can come up with is that you provide too much factual backup, you are doing alright in my book.

[William769]

20. Agreed.

[truebrit71]

24. Links to her own posts do not equal facts...

...but simply more regurgitation of the same old tired talking-points....

Your mileage obviously varies....

[stevenleser]

45. Those were links to her own previous posts that had external backup in them. Nice try.

[Dreamer Tatum]

56. Self-referential? Me? nt

[Marr]

58. No, sorry.

I don't fault Prosense for posting links to relevant information.

What Prosense has been criticized for his simple misdirection, posting links to lengthy articles and posts that are completely irrelevant to the subject being discussed-- and almost always to her own threads. Nice way to up your search engine footprint, but I can see no other reason for doing so besides a desire to derail discussion.

[stevenleser]

71. You should be sorry. You object to being proven wrong with factual links.

And like all of Prosense's detractors, you attempt to cast aspersions using any method you can other than addressing the facts directly, because you can't.

[Marr]

109. I can only assume that you don't actually read Prosense's links.

Try it sometime. And be critically honest. Most of them link to nothing relevant to the point under discussion, and actually seem intentionally designed to waste time and misdirect energy.

[tkmorris]

65. Nice try?

Don't be absurd. If you have links to facts you post the links to the facts, you don't post links to your own posts which contain links to your own posts which may, or may not, contain links somewhere within to some bloggers opinion on an alleged fact.

[stevenleser]

70. Just because you don't do that, doesn't mean others don't. What she did was entirely valid.

She had a single post where she had the relevant links and she linked back to that post in any future replies. There is nothing wrong with that.

Folks who don't like it simply objected to being proven wrong.

[tkmorris]

89. That's not what anyone is talking about and you know it

She would often flood a post with links (plural, as in dozens) that led nowhere but to her own posts elsewhere on DU, which themselves often contained no facts but yet still MORE links which led... who knows where.

*I* didn't like it and it isn't because I didn't like being proved wrong. Usually I didn't disagree with whatever point she was making, or at least had little to no opinion on it; but the methods she used to make her argument were, and still are, ridiculous.

[stevenleser]

90. Since I started the thread, I can absolutely say that yes, that is what is being talked about. nt

[truebrit71]

76. Nope. They mostly just went around and around and around...

...spouting endless talking points, cherry-picking obscure facts, and using torturous logic to justify the unjustifiable...

There's a really good reason she's on so many people's ignore lists...

But sure, go with whatever makes you feel good...

[LondonReign2]

136. Yes, my favorite was when she got called

on her post during the Bush era roundly criticizing the NSA and saying those action could never be mage legal, only to of course defend the exact same actions under Obama.

She tried to justify her complete reversal through links. I read through the links --twice-- in their entirety. They led absolutely no where, at least no where that had anything to do with domestic spying, the NSA, etc. Pure misdirection

[laundry_queen]

149. I did that a few times

trying to give her the benefit of the doubt - I followed all the links, and then the links within the links she had posted. As you say, they led nowhere, they didn't make any point and most of the time, they were completely off topic. IMO, they are a tactic to distract and delay you so she can get more posts in.

Yeah, the whole NSA hypocrisy was crazy too.

[frylock]

161. external as in whitehouse.gov

[sufrommich]

41. Yep. She lives in a lot of heads around here.

I think it's pretty funny.

[Cha]

49. The gop does that.. takes the Democrats' strengths and tries to turn it into something ugly.

[cali]

101. because much- perhaps most- of the time, it wasn't factual back up.

It was self-referential or extremely selective or opinion.

There is a difference between opinion and fact. Omission is misleading. Referring back to things you've said is not usually fact based.

In my opinion people are easily bamboolzed by lots of links. That's not necessarily evidence for one's position.

[laundry_queen]

152. Spot on.

In my opinion people are easily bamboolzed by lots of links.

It reminds me of people who use a lot of big words to try to impress people and show that they know a lot about the subject at hand. It will impress most people, but those who actually know the subject will be able to see right through the attempt.

[840high]

216. I started scrolling past the blue links.

[freshwest]

147. Romney didn't like those pesky 'fact-checkers' either, did he?

[greatauntoftriplets]

23. Thank you!

[SwampG8r]

35. im not the one making them

my concern is real
I too hope she is on a nice vacation and nothing has happened to her or her family

[William769]

38. I understand that, and my comment was not directed at the OP

It was directed at some of the responses.

[JNelson6563]

43. Thank you adding much needed humanity to this thread!

Some can't help but be mean spirited no matter what. Disappointing to see here.

Thanks for speaking up.

Julie

[hfojvt]

105. people are mean

about people they don't like

and often don't like people who are on the other team

especially after a number of contests.

[Cha]

47. Fucking idiotic comments.. little mean spirited bully boys.

[geek tragedy]

87. some women are participating as well, nt

[Cha]

95. Right.. I thought about that later.. mean spirited bullies. nm

[Blue_Adept]

88. Looks more and more like discussionist and other sites every day.

The vocal minority has quite the reach here in the vitriol these days unfortunately.

[SidDithers]

62. Yup. Haters gonna hate...nt

Sid

[morningfog]

77. I wish ProSense well, and too hope that they are on vacation and not fired.

[tammywammy]

112. Agreed.

I notice the other day she hadn't been around for a bit. I hope it's just a vacation.

[BootinUp]

129. +1

I admit I had my differences with Prosense during primary season but I hope he/she returns definitely.

[redqueen]

142. +1

[freshwest]

146. Thanks, William.

[William769]

148. Anytime.

[hrmjustin]

16. Vacation likely.

[Blue_Adept]

34. A play on where whores go?

I dunno if that's one of the best play on phrases to work with.

[bigtree]

74. you know the origin of that play on words of yours, right?

. . . if so, you should be ashamed.

[Cha]

171. And, another one bites the dust because they think they're soooo

clever.

[geek tragedy]

84. oy. how very un-feminist of you. nt

[Xyzse]

22. I didn't even assign a gender on Prosense. I just considered Prosense a decent fount of information

Slanted on the Administration's favor.

Not that there is anything wrong with that. I mean, it is nice to read her posts as, even if I don't always agree with it, it is always informative.

I hope she is well.

[liberal N proud]

27. Aliens?

[greatlaurel]

37. ProSense posts are always informative.

Hope she is back soon.

[PowerToThePeople]

42. It does seem quiet

There is very little ProSense and I agree on but she is at least cordial and respectful, though woefully wrong. I do not have her on ignore as I do others that are wrong and rude.

[JNelson6563]

46. I hope all is well.

[Enrique]

50. i knew it

ProSense was Richard Mellon Scaife

http://www.politico.com/story/2014/07/richard-mellon-scaife-death-108573.html

[FSogol]

55. She takes breaks from time to time. I messaged her during one of her last breaks to

make sure all was well.

[Trajan]

96. I hope she is ok ... but like many others

I didn't appreciate her obvious slant in favor of this Democratic President, no matter how UN-Democratic Party-like the President's policies may be ...

I hope all is well, but I don't miss the propaganda ...

Signed,
Obama Voter - 2008-2012

[Cha]

99. Oh yeah? Where do you get your "propaganda" from? What's so "Undemocratic" about

what President Obama has accomplished so far?





Mucho Mas..
TOD

[Trajan]

107. LOL ...

Let me guess where you got that from ...

Let's just say; I am underwhelmed by that list ... some were De facto GOP policies, while others were weakly ' Liberal ' ...

I don't agree with half of our Democratic caucus already due to their latent conservative positions ... Obama gets no pass ... no fluff ... from me ...

Peddle your nonsense to somebody else ...

[Cha]

168. I don't care if you are "underwhelmed".. it's not really for you.. here's more Facts that

aren't for you..

[Trajan]

180. More nonsense ...

ANY reasonably Liberal Democrat could have done the same and more (disregarding for the moment the completely dysfunctional House of Representatives)

The Health Care plan, as wonderful as you may believe it to be, is actually identical to a republican plan from the past ... while I appreciate the benefits it provides for those who desperately needed ANY insurance ... it is largely a giveaway to Insurance companies ... not exactly what Liberals would have wanted ...

The economy is 'saved' because the previous insanity has been removed ... the method and means of that saving has been a heartbreaking loss for all Americans, as trillions of tax dollars were wasted in order to prop up a dysfunctional financial system that defrauded the public both before AND after the 'saving' ... I would presume ANY Democrat would have done the same thing ...

The deification and hagiographic pronouncements about Obama are bizarre and unwarranted ...

I voted TWICE for this man, and I love him in many ways ... but I do NOT pray to him ...

I am a Democrat ... not an Obamacrat ...

[Cha]

183. Like I said.. these facts are only for those who appreciate Progress and a President who is

there for us.

[Trajan]

187. Blah blah blah ...

We're done

[Cha]

190. HAHA.. Yep Progress! the President with Alex Dooley in Denver.. :)

Alex Dooley of Denver, who had written to President Barack Obama thanking him for talking about raising the minimum wage and her boss doing so, introduces the president before he spoke about the economy

TOD

[Trajan]

193. Yeah ... that reminds me of the rallies we enjoyed in 2008 + 2012

You know, when the President held the promise of ruling as a Liberal ...

Too bad our hopes for a Democratic President were dashed ...

You consider this 'progress'? ... what a silly statement ...

[Cha]

196. More Good News! Julian Castro is our next Sec of HUD!

[OilemFirchen]

200. "Ruling"?

Well, that's a mite bit strange...

[Old and In the Way]

63. Never doubted her commitment to the Democrats and PBO

Her vocal opposition...well, who really knows where their motivations are? It is an anonymous posting board, after all.

Hope she's enjoying her time away from DU.

[JaneyVee]

64. Possibly busy working on the Hillary campaign.

[Cha]

66. Why would you say that?

[JaneyVee]

68. Just a thought. Campaigns are hard work and

Prosense seems to have the passion.

[Metric System]

119. Did I miss something? I thought she was vociferously against Hillary.

[greatauntoftriplets]

67. Maybe she got tired of being mocked, belittled and called childish names.

Sadly, I see plenty of that in this thread. I hope that she's enjoying a nice vacation.

[Cha]

69. I see ProSense as a strong woman who can handle the playground bullies quite well..

I hope she's getting some nice R&R Gearing up for 2014 Midterms!

It's Texas4obama who I'm concerned about. There was a thread about her missing from DU not too long ago and I PMed her but nothing. Another prolific poster who supports President Obama! The nerve!

[greatauntoftriplets]

80. Yes, TX's absence has been noted as well.

In fact, I checked just yesterday to see if she had posted recently. No.

[AverageJoe90]

115. Yeah, I can definitely sympathize with her, having been subjected to a lot of that myself recently.

Not fun at all.

[Capt. Obvious]

72. I haven't seen her in forever

[stevenleser]

73. Looks like she has been gone for 6 days. Last post on July 3rd.

I'm guessing she went somewhere to disconnect and enjoy a vacation.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025192877

[JI7]

122. and even before that july 3rd post she had been gone for some days

so i assume she is ok and hopefully having some fun .

[sheshe2]

124. That's true, steven.

However, she had been absent for awhile before that. I hope she is just taking some down time.

[riqster]

75. Good question. I hope she is well.

I don't always agree with her, but she writes well and provides backup for her positions.

[bluedigger]

83. Noticed her absence the other day myself.

Given the timing (July 3rd) I would hope she is taking some time off. I'm neither a fan nor a hater, but Prosense is a notable member and contributor to DU, and I look forward to her participation resuming soon. Maybe those who are rushing to condemn her could use a breather of their own.

[herding cats]

85. I noticed that too.

I was thinking she may be on vacation or something since her last post was on a Thursday before a holiday.

[Puzzledtraveller]

93. Reassigned.

[KamaAina]

104. Maybe she went to join Joe DiMaggio

A nation turns its lonely eyes to you...

[sheshe2]

106. Thank you for your thread, SwampG.

I miss ProSense and hope she is well.

Sadly, other posters here feel the need to dump on her in a childish manner.

[LadyHawkAZ]

108. perhaps she went someplace with some Sense?

Lots and lots of hating on Democrats and other rightwingery around here lately.

[AverageJoe90]

125. It seems that there's been a fair bit of B.S. of the fringe far-left variety, too, to be truthful.

All of this kind of stuff REALLY makes DU suck sometimes.

[XemaSab]

128. You do realize this is bullshit, right?

Yet you insist on repeating it OVER AND OVER AND OVER AND OVER.

Who are the fringe far-leftists in your little world?

The doomers, the radfems, and people who insist that yes, white privilege exists.

In other words, the liberal base.

You think these are the people who make DU suck.

[AverageJoe90]

135. It's not bullshit at all, XS. Whether you realize it or not.

Radfems & climate doomers a la GuyMcPherson are hardly the base. Mainstream feminists? People of Color? People who actually want to mitigate Climate Change? Now they are part of the base, and I happen to be two of these(with the exception of the middle, of course).

(And, for the record, do realize that I haven't had a problem with *everybody* who believes in "white privilege". It's only been those who've been total assholes about it, in about 90% of cases in which I've said something.)

[XemaSab]

140. Is Guy McPherson a member here?

No.

Are Andrea Dworkin and Louis Farrakhan members here?

No and no.

So then why do you think THEY're what's wrong with DU and not people like your friend quinnox?

[AverageJoe90]

143. Don't recall saying anything about the other two.

So then why do you think THEY're what's wrong with DU and not people like your friend quinnox?

Didn't say or imply that quinnox was my "friend". In fact, I'm not so sure about the guy myself, especially if some of these accusations of prior malfeasance(before his recent flameout, that is.) turn out to be true.

Doesn't really change what I pointed out, however.

[freshwest]

150. Appreciate your comment, LadyHawk.

[Cha]

170. I say ProSense is having a bit of R&R and Gearing up to knock

the rw and other assorted assholes outta the water for the 2014 Midterm Elections.

[closeupready]

111. She's a solid gold Democrat, though I frequently disagree with her ideas,

or some of her takes on current events (for example, the NSA scandal).

She's tough as nails, committed, fair, tireless. A very REAL fierce advocate for just about every Democratic constituency.

It's the middle of summer folks - she's probably enjoying it, as she should. Plenty of time for serious brainstorming after Labor Day.

[AverageJoe90]

113. I hope she's okay as well.

She has done a lot of good stuff on this site. Probably one of the best posters around, IMO.

[LittleBlue]

126. This thread delivers

Two posts in particular. Won't mention who because the alert Gestapo are thick in this thread, but damn those two had me laughing.

[bigtree]

185. 'alert gestapo'

. . . do you think it's alright to call her a whore, as someone did on this thread? Was that funny to you? Do you think that post deserved alerting on?

This thread 'delivers' unabashed hatred.

[mylye2222]

127. Hope she is OK as well.

And why all those crapy post insulting her????

Yet because she has opinions wich doesnt feet the mainstram of DU insnt it?

Poor schoolyard bullies some are they here.....

Luckily the tread's lever is raised up again by good people anyway....

[Matariki]

132. Must resist snark...

[onehandle]

138. Hopefully she is on a beach, or on her way back home.

Best wishes to her.

[LondonReign2]

139. Perhaps the internet ran out of ROFL smilies

[bravenak]

151. I hope she comes back soon.

Very informative posts.

[Autumn]

153. Well gee, I did not realize she was missing.

Perhaps on vacation . it does seem odd though.

[montanacowboy]

154. It was like a broken record

good

[brer cat]

157. Thanks for the thread, SwampG8r.

I hope she is on vacation or taking a break from DU. She doesn't need the crap that is being heaped on her in this thread.

[tularetom]

159. Like everybody else around here I've had my share of disagreements with ProSense

In fact I rarely agree with her. But I have to say she takes more shit than anybody else here and she does it with grace and dignity.

I have nothing but praise for her.

[sheshe2]

173. +1!

[Cha]

174. Thanks for that, tularetom.. it's always nice to see random kindness.

[Electric Monk]

165. Maybe she got careless, and got caught up following an infinite loop of recursive links?

[Capt. Obvious]

175. Maybe she's putting herself to the fullest possible use

which is all I think that any conscious entity can ever hope to do.

[reddread]

166. concerned about her myself

but anyone who can post over 100 times in 24 hours, deserves a break.

[nolabels]

182. Pretty sure if there was someone clocking the posts it was closer to 100 per hour

[steve2470]

176. I've wondered that myself

I like her links to factual material.

[mylye2222]

179. Hope everything is fine and looks forward to she being soon back!

Yes, she has been targeted more than once. Along with blm, and both are precious posters who took great time of they to come here and teach us important facts.

[McCamy Taylor]

181. ProSense is a woman? For real? I thought ProSense was an army of ninja clones.

My delusions are shattered.

[WilliamPitt]

188. She just went home.

(offered as humor...ProSense drives me out of my tree some(most)times, but she is a valued and valuable member of this community, and maybe the best Democrat on the board, for what that's worth)

ProSense, you astonishing pain in the ass. Come back soon.

[deutsey]

197. Could not care less, personally. n/t

[jeff47]

199. Which is why you bothered to click reply and write a post.

Oh wait, that wouldn't make any sense.

[ProSense]

203. I'm here, and

you alleged progressives never disappoint.

[steve2470]

204. welcome back, wherever you were ! nt

[SwampG8r]

206. glad you are ok

I was worried for you hope all is well. This thread was not intended to go where it ended up.

[JI7]

209. HAHHA

i hope you are getting a good laugh at it all

[1StrongBlackMan]

210. Phew ...

[Number23]

213. Glad to see you, Prosense. And judging by the number of hidden posts in this thread

you live in a lot of people's heads around here. Judging by the posts, I'm really sorry it's not a better neighborhood.

[hrmjustin]

215. So glad you are ok.

[Skittles]

211. better job offer?

[geek tragedy]

212. That wasn't clever or funny the first

200 times the Prosense Fanclub used it. What makes you think this time is different?

[grasswire]

217. what is the deal with all the hides of fairly innocuous posts in this thread?

Does anyone have the guts to post the jury explanations for these hides?

Honestly, it's past time for jury results to be posted openly on DU. And for the identity of the alerter to be provided as well.

This is getting really stupid.
