Just an FYI about the Hillary Clinton Group.

HILLARY CLINTON ROOM

This room is for supporters of Hillary Clinton. This is a safe haven for her supporters to discuss her in an environment without criticism or snark.

if you have nothing good to say about her or her supporters in this room then do not post in here.

We want a calm environment for Hillary supporters away from the choas of GD. I respect many of you have different opinions then we do but there are other places on this site to express that.

DU is contentious right now and HRC supporters need a place to vent. Respect it.

I ask all HRC supporters to respect other safe havens.

If a host asks you to self delete then please do so or you may be banned. Contrary to some opinions we do not enjoy banning people. Banning people from this room is not fun but i and the other hosts will do it to protect our members from those who bait us.

We had several bans in the past few days and I am posting this as a reminder.


Please respect our space.

Justin.

My thought is that the Sanders candidacy is ultimately good for Clinton because it shows Democrats can run against each other and still be friendly and peaceful. If the Clinton room fills up with snarky comments about Sanders, I'm sure Sanders supporters will try to respond. And it works the other way around of course, so what do we have? Two rooms full of people spending their time trying to eliminate any sort of disharmony by blocking and banning.

I have an alternative suggestion for both rooms. Treat every comment as a serious inquiry, and respond dispassionately. If that doesn't work, and the poster continues to be a hammerhead snark, commence with the blocks and bans. Just an idea.

Statement of Purpose

Discuss the life, career, and accomplishments of Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton. Supporters only


The Sanders room can do what it feels it needs to do.

I can say someone posted a list there of people to put on an ignore list and i was top on the list. The post was hidden.

I think they do fine with there room.

Being unable to support, or even dispassionately discuss Hillary was getting me down.
