Tick Tock! 5 hours and 15 minutes and counting!

1. K&R!

[Duckhunter935]

2. I do hope it cut down on the insults

And is not selective

[Miles Archer]

6. Well, it will cut down insults directed toward Clinton or her supporters...

...and if anyone decides they want to continue to insult Sanders or his supporters, those posts will be just as subject to an alert.

I don't think 100% of the people here get that, but it's Skinner's Website, and he'll sort it all out.

3. Enjoy your echo chamber.

I won't be joining you.

[Evergreen Emerald]

23. Well Sanders supporters sure enjoyed the echo chamber

Perhaps there will be less echo, and more civil conversation.

[CorkySt.Clair]

25. echo chamber in full effect at the anti-Dem site some are scurrying off to.

[CorkySt.Clair]

24. ...

[athena]

4. Agreed.

If a person cannot state their argument in a civil and polite manner, then perhaps their argument is not strong enough for people to bother with.

[John Poet]

5. I'm sure you are. It'll be great for you

not to be getting your ass beaten daily in here.

[stevenleser]

9. If "getting my ass beaten" = my candidate winning, sure. Enjoy JPR!

[John Poet]

11. No, not what I mean.

Your candidate won, but you sure took a beating in here. Possibly deservedly so.

[stevenleser]

12. What you mean doesn't matter. My candidate won and yours lost. The rest is spin.

People try to attack me all the time from the right, the left and every other place, that's nothing new. The point is what the end result of that is.

My candidate won, and the folks who attacked me got nothing they wanted.

[coco77]

7. Let the worshipping begin!

[stevenleser]

10. I know, supporting Democrats is so hard for some folks. That's ok, there are other options. nt

[Android3.14]

8. I'm sure many will appreciate the easily understood arguments

[SFnomad]

13. I expect it will be more like 8am, not midnight ... when the change happens n/t

[B Calm]

14. With six hides, who is being civil here?

[stevenleser]

15. Oh I had more. We'll just see who adjusts to the new reality, won't we?

Of course we already know. It's not Clinton supporters that are pitching a fit about the new rules.

[B Calm]

16. So you haven't been civil. .

[stevenleser]

17. Depends what you mean by civil. nt

[B Calm]

18. Six hides is not being civil in anybody's book.

[stevenleser]

19. In my book it was so thats not correct. See what happens when you forget

SAT prep about absolute terms?

[B Calm]

21. I reread your post three times now and It's still not making any sense.

[stevenleser]

22. Sure it did. I'll help. See this OP here...

http://www.democraticunderground.com/12512130315 ?

There were others like it. Compared to the nastiness leveled against me, I wasn't only civil, I was downright beatific.

And as to this overall discussion we are having regarding civility, I will have no problem at all, whereas folks on the other side, well, let's just say I dont think they can discourse that way.

[Duckhunter935]

20. I hope they still like them when they continue to

Break the rules and are finally sanctioned

[Matt_in_STL]

26. Finally. No more links from Newsmax or Fox News.

Hopefully nothing from contributors either.

[stevenleser]

27. Nope, Skinner said nothing of the kind.

And since I am not a contributor of either network, no problem there either.

BTW, you know you only have a few more hours for these nasty attacks on me right? What do you plan to do with your life afterwards?

[Matt_in_STL]

30. Sorry, Hillary supporters have made it clear those sites will be alerted, and have been

And it is a nasty attack noting that you have contributed to both Fox News and Newsmax? Perhaps you should find better company to keep then if pointing out something you did is considered an attack.

[stevenleser]

32. Nope, you didn't read the rules. Reading is fundamental.

Don't peddle right-wing talking points, smears, or sources
Do not post right-wing talking points or smears. Do not post content sourced from right-wing publications, authors, or pundits. Exceptions are permitted if you provide a clear reason for doing so that is consistent with the values of this website.

When I post my videos, its to promote the Democratic position, and that is always clear.

[KoKo]

29. Wait! What! That is Unfair....

DU Contributor Steve Leser is a Faux News paid Dem Consultant. Does that mean that "DU Steve" will be banned from posting from an "Unapproved Site?"

NO WAY!

[stevenleser]

31. And some folks thought gish gallops were things only Republicans did.

And you managed to implement one with only two sentences. Let's deal with them one at a time.

"DU Contributor" - I'm not a contributor here, I'm a member like anyone else. Contributor has a specific meaning in media meaning "Paid employee". DU doesnt pay me.

"Fox News paid Dem Consultant" - Nope, I am an unpaid guest when I appear on Fox just like Bernie Sanders. I've actually told you this several times now. I'm glad after tomorrow you wont be able to make these silly attacks to make me repeat myself anymore.

"Banned from posting" - Nope, I have no problems not attacking people, unlike what you just did.

"Unapproved site" - Skinner said that what is considered right wing media will not be allowed unless the posting is consistent with the mission of the website, i.e. promoting Democrats and Democratic issues. File this under "Reading is fundamental"
