Well, this place has become completely unreadable since they granted amnesty

To the left, race baiting
To the right, straight up insults towards Bernie and his supporters tempered with laughable calls for unity

1. This is why they invented the "ignore" button.

Just because the site granted them amnesty doesn't mean you have to.

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Yep - and with that

The op goes away. Thanks for reminding me.

2. So it was better when around 80% of HRC supporters were on time out of some kind? tia

[Joe the Revelator]

3. There was never a conspiracy, just a lot of shitty posters

there was a reason that people got 5 hides in 3 months. That much is now obvious.

[uponit7771]

5. Yeah, cause they spoke counter in some way of Sanders. I like facts, I'm not going to go over

... the consummate alert stalking on some posters.

The AA group was all but half gone, the facts don't lie

[Joe the Revelator]

8. Lets be honest

There was an effort by some to get banned. It was a badge of honor and a way to get attention. Let's not pretend that wasn't the case, and I won't pretend that some alerts were extremely shitty.

15. It was better when the disruptors were on time outs, yes. Most were/are insufferable

and returned to their same ways.

The handful which were unjustly on timeouts are fine.

[Agschmid]

17. It was better when valid hides had consequences.

[Joe the Revelator]

22. I agree with this as well.

[kath]

24. That is utter bs. Skinner has stated that only somehing like 1/2 of one percent of DUers have been

Put on timeout. He has said so several times.

Are you impervious to fact?

[sufrommich]

4. "race baiting"

How low will DU go? "Race baiting" is a right wing smear.

[Joe the Revelator]

6. Let's see how much longer they'll try to imply that Bernie and his supporters

are a bunch of closeted klan members.

[sufrommich]

7. They who? You're the one using

right wing dog whistles.

[Joe the Revelator]

10. Of cooooourse I am...

[tk2kewl]

9. funny...

i only have about 30 on ignore and it seems almost the same as before amnesty

[litlbilly]

11. Ditto Joe, and im a huge braves fan since 77:)

[Joe the Revelator]

21. Gonna be an interesting (and probably rough) season.

[Smarmie Doofus]

12. It's like You Tube.

Only dumber and more vulgar.

And you tubers generally don't delude themselves into thinking that they know anything about politics.

Don't let it be said that I am forever full of complaints and forever without a solution. Here it comes: rescind the amnesty.

There's a *reason* a lot of these people were .... suspended... or whatever it's called.

One of the screwiest of the screwy was ruminating online earlier today about making a LIST. No I'm not kidding.

Of DUers who will be disposed of in the WillyT fashion.

[TCJ70]

14. I logged in today and almost didn't recognize the place...

...then I saw a few names that hadn't been around for awhile and figured it out.

[Joe the Revelator]

16. And the funny part is, this is a Golem completely created by the Admins

The system was working. Obviously.

[workinclasszero]

18. Group think is dead!

Will Bernie followers emulate their leader, rip off their mics and storm out of DU?

[kath]

29. My irony meter just broke while reading your subject line.

[oasis]

19. I'm happy to see the return to balanced dialogue. nt

[hellofromreddit]

20. I'm brand new

And even I noticed a massive change in tone towards negativity.

It's a little shocking.

[djean111]

26. The ignore button is your friend.

it is fucking HEAVENLY.

[Raster]

23. Joe, I have started to use the IGNORE and FULL IGNORE features.

Let me tell you... amazing! Try it. You will like it.

[PeaceNikki]

25. Awww, you need a hug?

[FlatBaroque]

27. They lose on all issues. All they have is a large

Bucket of slime and loyal attak rodents.

[Snotcicles]

28. Keep in mind it's a business. nt
