and I have been insulted, attacked and even threatened and I have never alerted.

I have been stalked and had many posts hidden since Bernie began his run. Mostly for no good reason.

I honestly don't pay attention to the names of anyone but my friends so it's probably easy to chase me down. I really don't care.

And was:



I thought I had taken a wrong turn and landed at Free Republic. They are like having zealous, right wing neighbors, right? They get all wound up and spew a lot of hate but as long as they leave me and the rest of the neighborhood alone, I try to give them their space to do their thing. Sometimes when someone has such angry and extremist views, the only thing you can do is give them time, hope they will eventually come around and try to be there for them when they do.

But in the meantime:



As others have said, I tend not to alert on most offensive posts (in GDP) because there are too many! If I did, I would be too busy to read the good ones in the Hillary Group!

a really nasty post on GDP I will warn them they will probably get alerted on. That seems to put a chill in the air. I've only alerted on one GDP post and it didn't go through.... Have only gone on the Sanders group once just out of curiosity. The GDP forum is bad enough - sort of like another Sanders site.

as a protected setting for supporters of the candidate. So, since he is not my candidate, I have no interest in even going into that group.

out that they linked to a Right-wing source. They keep demanding that we justify our support of Hillary Clinton.

I can only mess with them anymore. I'm probably too rude and mocking at times, but there's no point in arguing anymore.

and GD-P some time ago. The only time I go there at all is if I happen to be on a jury for a post in either group.
I got so sick of DU enabling freeper TPs in both areas. I am VERY happy that neither group is listed on the Home page any more. But I see that some SBS supporters try to bring in lots of pro-Sanders and anti-Hillary stuff in other ways.

I don't mind the pro-SBS stuff so much so long as it is accurate and doesn't smear Hillary. But those who post anti-Hillary stuff either have their entire threads trashed by me or are put on Ignore or both.

Life is much nicer that way.
