The Blocking is Out if Control!

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by tammywammy (a host of the 2016 Postmortem forum).

I was just blocked from a BERNIE Group and I'm a BERNIE SUPPORTER! I said LMAO because someone was claiming victory with 1.3 % in. People really need to lighten up.

I have occasionally posted in the Bernie group but have avoided the Hillary group like a case of ebola, which is certainly why I haven't been banned from there yet. I don't really care for either group because they're mainly just rah-rah echo chambers and places to complain about how mean the people in the other group are. And yes, people do need to lighten up.

That I misread the post and thought it said Hillary was up. Of course I was unable to correct myself because I was BLOCKED! Even if I was a Hillary (I'm Not), nothing I said warranted being blocked.

It was left 7 - 0. Later saw a thread on Discussionist that said the Sanders group hosts had discussed blocking Skinner, too.
