These words looked funny to me. After being locked from the HRC group ...

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by Sissyk (a host of the General Discussion forum).

...and being called a liar by the administrator there I was pretty dejected. So,long story short, when the words 'Hillary Clinton is in your trash can' came across my screen I had to laugh. I hope she gets out if there in time for Iowa! My best to all the Clinton folks here. You may want to reconsider your blocking policy.

My one and only post was a friendly request that I be banned from the group. It was funny--for about an hour, I got some comments. They were very mistrustful of my motives, but they finally honored my request. Come to think of it, I guess I did have to post a couple of follow-ups to get the job done. Call it 3 posts total.

3 posts is very admirable! I don’t post on there, I’ve trashed the HRC group and GD-PeePee but they still pop up occasionally. I don’t even go in there..I can’t add anything to the conversation so why give them or myself more aggro.

They take their power very personally. Since then I have the HRC forum blocked from latest threads to avoid that happening again.

Your recent vote in a poll here:

I am a Sanders Supporter who used to support PP and I will cease supporting them because they endorsed Hillary.


Your comment in the Hillary group was in no way supportive. The group's Statement of Purpose clearly states: Discuss the life, career, and accomplishments of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Supporters only.

I can't imagine why you would be upset at being blocked from that group. You don't seem much like a supporter to me. My apologies if I'm wrong.

I'm not losing any sleep over it. It will be fun to see who is left standing in there when all is said and done.
