One last chance ... or leave me alone?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by stevenleser (a host of the Democrats group).

I did nothing wrong. I was blocked by sheshe2 for something she/he/it had no idea why. When I pointed out that being blocked in such a manner - no reason given - was acting just like a republican *I* was accused of not providing the info on why I was blocked.

"Please do not be nasty to me. You just called me a republican and are demanding answers. That is low." Well sheshe2, you're the one who blocked me and can't seem to remember why... Please explain! Please review my posts and share what-ever I said with the DU community that offended you so much as to warrant being blocked.

D.U. Admin and sheshe2, give me evidence or give me a break! Geeeeezzzzzz.....

"Hey Greg.

Please do not be nasty to me. You just called me a republican and are demanding answers. That is low. If you continue that tone I will block my mail and alert the Admins.

I went through my inbox to see where you were blocked. That is hard as all other blocks from hosts are there as well. You have the mail saying that you were blocked! Send me where you were blocked. YOU KNOW WHERE YOU WERE BLOCKED. YOU WERE NOTIFIED. Do that and I will explain. Please do not use your nasty tone on me. I do not deserve that. Continue and you will get nothing from me. We are a group, not a forum. Sadly. I have no clue if it was the BOG or HRC. You know, yet are unwilling to tell me when and where you were blocked.

One last chance. Send me the info that you do indeed have or leave me alone.

1. Seems like she's asked reasonably for additional information which you seem reluctant to provide...

I just can't get worked up over what appears to be a petty beef you have with people not doing as you require, when you yourself won't provide the help they need to answer your question.

IBTL (maybe).

do I find if I've been blocked when her email was the first I've ever seen about being blocked?

Also if you try to post a reply or OP in that forum, you can't. You can also go to the main page of any forum, click on the "about this forum" button up over the thread titles and scroll down to see if your name is on the blocked list.

Here is the link to the "about this forum" page for the Hillary page. There is a Statement of Purpose for the forum, then some other things, finally the blocked list. Scroll down and you can see if you are there.

ETA, a better place to ask about this is in the ATA (ask the administrators) forum. Otherwise this thread, like your other one in GDP, will get locked for being meta, which is forbidden on DU.

7. Oh, my. I am so sorry. You were evidently blocked from the BOG or HRC forums . . .

I avoid those places like the plague -- nothing good for me ever emerged from any of the hagiography forums.

If you wish to be reinstated, I guess you'll need to start by answering sheshe2's questions. Other than that, I'm no help to you.

given the tone of the post.

Well, that sort of talk is guaranteed to get you tossed from a lot of places, both virtual and IRL.

4. Many people have been blocked from the Hillary group.

Take a deep breath and relax. Certain groups are safe groups that have their own rules/standards and it may seem silly but if you aren't a Hillary supporter or show too much pro Bernie opinion they can and will block you. They've blocked huge numbers of Bernie supporters.

Honestly, I don't agree with how they run their playground, but group hosts can block and it is theirs to run how they see fit.

5. This is meta. Why are you bringing your complaints about one group into another group?

You've been blocked; deal with it and move on.

You don't have a right to go to any group you'd like without consequences if you disrupt--they can and will block you.

Read the TOS, then read the Community Standards and the Group SOPS.

10. Locking - This OP is Meta. It is a question for the admins or for hosts of the Hillary group
