Call it, Skinner

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

Close this cesspool of a sub-forum down.

Win, lose or draw, Bernie or Hillary, this shithole doesn't deserve to exist any more. I am ashamed to have ever been associated with this place. Close it down, nail the doors shut and salt the earth so nothing ever grows here again.

Let the million flowers bloom. Elsewhere.

25. I've lost count of the agains. nt

[farleftlib]

2. It's like deja vu all over again

Where have I heard this sentiment before?

[surrealAmerican]

3. Would that even work?

Surely, the vileness would just pollute all the other forums should that happen.

7. Thread winner. nt

13. Please, won't someone stop the lowering of the discourse? nt

[boston bean]

15. LOL!

35. It would be interesting to start a comparison list

of text from hides from Hillary supporters and Sander's supporters.

Some of the nastiest hides I've seen here have come from the Hillary camp. And yet you still get on Will's case for being distraught when his wife was suffering and he couldn't get her the help he needed. I hated what he said, but I had compassion for him and what he was going through.

I didn't side with Will on that, but some of you people need to get a little introspection. Or you need to go stand in a corner...oh wait...you were released from the corner to continue your vile posts.

I'm starting to think many in Hill camp don't even know what compassion is.

5. You mean this open discussion about a primary election that will still be in progress for nearly 2

months?

I guess you're against any post that doesn't support Hillary? How dare someone have an opinion different from your own.

How dare we support our own candidate in the DNC primary!

Super telling of Hillary supporters.

[Dr Hobbitstein]

12. You're new here...

Will's firmly in Bernie's camp.

[2cannan]

18. Is this the Will Pitt from Truthout? nt

[Dr Hobbitstein]

20. Yes. nt

[2cannan]

21. Thanks, Dr. H! nt

[msanthrope]

19. Welcome to DU. Maybe learn who the players are before

you jump to conclusions??

[Barack_America]

6. You can't close a cess pool, you have to drain it.

Where would you like to pump this toxic sludge into?

[RobertEarl]

8. Ignore makes for a nice wash

If not for ignore I'd be right there with you. Now it's become all Bernie all the time and the air is fresh and clean and flowers be blooming!

[Zira]

17. +1

[pdsimdars]

34. Amen to that!!!

Ignore is a godsend!
Bernie people are so full of life and hope and optimism. It's refreshing. . and they don't think the Pope is evil either.

[RobertEarl]

38. I like my Bernie peeps

If not for DU most of us wouldn't even know who Pitt is.

[Codeine]

9. Don't you have some homeless women to threaten or something? nt

[seabeyond]

10. I respect you william and regardless of what others project, I can value you. You had a part in this

too though.

I agree with your Op, in general. But after the blood bath, to stand here and say this?

Sigh....

it is the baby that allows me to see more.

[blm]

11. Wow….When Will gets real, he gets REAL.

And I always appreciated that about you, Will, even when I disagreed with your conclusion.

Sanders supporters who care about countering the REAL threat to this nation will agree with Bernie's stated position….Hillary is 100 times better than ANY Republican.

[boston bean]

14. Why Hello!

[MineralMan]

22. Snake Plissken?

I thought you were dead...

[Gregorian]

23. Revelations for me.

The party's going in two directions. To be honest, as irritating as it has been, it has revealed truths that I never knew. It has served a purpose. On the positive side, there is something new that is not going away. People still exist, and they still don't like insurance, and wars, and things. I don't think people are going to be very patient as they wait around for things like rigged elections to maybe change someday.

I was thinking what you were but too timid to say it.

[haikugal]

29. I totally agree. I've learned so much this election. Much of it disgusting but it's better to know.

[Autumn]

24. Will you don't say much do ya? But damn man when you do,

the angels sing.

[merrily]

31. +1 And I could say the same about you.

[Autumn]

32. I love you so much merrily. You are a Goddess .

Notice I used a capitol G?

[merrily]

33. wow! Thanks and back at you.

[Autumn]

26. Did I ever tell you I memorized The Ocean is Coming?

One of the last important articles I read here. Your hiatus from here was a loss.

[SHRED]

27. Coming from a neutral position?

[Zira]

28. Thanks, I had forgotten to put him on ignore while I was here.

I prefer to hang on liberal boards. This place looks far friendlier to liberals when you ignore the right people.

[dreamnightwind]

39. In this case you are mistaken

Will Pitt is on our side, though I can see how you wouldn't know it from his post. He writes on TruthOut, check out his stuff.

It's a response to a post Autumn made earlier, which I personally have some issues with. There's some inside chess going on here, though I still don't agree with it.

Will Pitt mostly quit posting here long ago, so him urging Skinner to call it has little to no effect on his posts.

But he's definitely one of the best posters and I'm certain he is still working for Bernie and more importantly for the changes Bernie wants to bring about.

[Zira]

40. Ah, thank you. I will correct that.

[SHRED]

42. I enjoy his writings

A little taken aback by this post of his.

[dreamnightwind]

44. Yes, strange daze are here. Must be 4/20, or the armageddon.

[cwydro]

30. Oh my.

Somehow I think Skinner will close it down eventually. But, come on.

Why do you want it shut down now? I support Hillary and also am wholeheartedly in favor of Bernie staying in.

Don't add to the vitriol. There's more than enough here.

[Punkingal]

36. Having been around here for 14 years and once a moderator, I know Skinner is a nice guy.

And even though he supports Hillary, I can't think he is pleased with how nasty things are here.

[pdsimdars]

37. And these are Bernie supporters. And they are praising that sentiment . . . utter NONSENSE

If some of you are so sick and tired, no one forces you to come in here. If you can't "ignore" the people whose comments you don't like, then stay away for a while, get out and walk in nature.
Let those of us enjoy it who enjoy it.
You're like the kid on the playground, Cartman, who gets mad during a game and wants to take the ball and go home and spoil the game for everyone else simply because they don't enjoy it any more.
Well, take a hiatus for a while, get some rest and see how you feel afterwards but don't try to spoil it for everyone else.

[bigtree]

41. it's not the forum that needs shutting down

...it's sour grapes, like this post, which needs curbing before it 'blossoms' into full blown advocacy against the presumptive Democratic nominee.
