**Cough**

From the Ask the Administrators forum, a poster wanted to know what groups he could post disparaging remarks about Clinton in.

Skinner responded with:

But my impression is that people who dislike Hillary are permitted almost everywhere on this website. So I think you're fine for the next month or so.

Wait, did you catch that last sentence?

All I can say is, I do believe General Election season is almost upon us (Skinner is saying that the aggressive attacks against our nominee are done at the end of the primary season next month)!

1. Idk, "next month or so" generically covers May and June, the last two months of the primary.

I suspect we're still stuck waiting it out, even with the writing on the wall. In neon. With spotlights. And a dancing street crew in front of it.

Enjoy it until the primaries are over, because then it's done. So, you've got one month or so.

Basically, you've got one more month before people are expected to start falling in line.

7. Yeah, but that's another month of Tea Bagging and Limbaugh's words spewed on the Latest page.

If they need one last month to get it out of their systems, so be it. I would rather this be happening now then that God awful "grace period" in 2008 after Obama secured the nomination. That is still one of the ugliest periods of time I have ever seen on this website, and I'm saying that as someone who supported Hillary in 2008.

until someone drops out or a candidate nominated at the convention, the primary season goes on.

On the other hand, the worst they can do to us now is get us 'flagged for review' - usually just a temporary hindrance?

Those new DU policies make it at least a hair better!

in DU Limbo. and it's not fair as you can imagine.

they got 2 hides in 24 hours but most cases were not for going against the TOS.

I would like Skinner to address this.. I've got to compose a question to him in ATA.
