1. There's something very, very wrong going on with the Sanders group.

[L. Coyote]

5. I was all for Bernie. Now I don't think I'll ever suppport him again.

And you can't get your money back either.

[riderinthestorm]

7. It's a smear on Bernie. That you can't see it is troubling

I'm all in for Hillary, and I hope Bernie wants to help overthrow the Republican Congress so

Snip

Bernie is all in behind Hillary. Casting doubt on his conviction is the problem here.

[baldguy]

12. You're seeing smears that aren't there.

There's something VERY, VERY, wrong in the Sanders group.

[riderinthestorm]

22. Lol, ok. Then Skinner can close it. It's been alert stalked to its death

Or near death anyway.

Nerves are touchy.

[baldguy]

31. This isn't about alert-stalking. You're blocking people at the drop of a hat. Why?

If a thread doesn't conform to the groups statement of purpose, lock it. There's no reason to block the poster, though.

[riderinthestorm]

41. Standard SOP. Ask any of the 836 blocked from the Hillary group nt

[baldguy]

47. You're not hosting the Hillary group. And you're dodging the question.

[stevenleser]

15. See my #13. nt

[L. Coyote]

19. So now I have to accept what someone else thinks I may have been saying? NOT.

What I hope is Bernie hits the road and does giant rallies to motivate people to throw there obstructionist asses out. But if Berners are going to treat people like this, well, maybe my hopes are misplaced. Maybe we will just have to accept another eight years of obstruction if we can't even find unity in a simple hope to defeat Republicans.

[riderinthestorm]

23. Have you pm'd Segami? Or just blasted here without finding out why?

[L. Coyote]

27. That's who blocked me.

What, I'm supposed to appeal to the person who did it?

[stevenleser]

37. That actually is the standard answer and it assumes some dialogue can take place between the

person blocked and the host who did it. Perhaps that some misunderstanding took place.

That doesn't work for this kind of situation though. It's clear that person has an agenda that is against what the admins have expressly said is one of the rules of the site. I don't think they are interested in discussing the situation with you.

[riderinthestorm]

42. It doesn't appear LCoyote has tried. They're dodging my ??

[obamanut2012]

43. wow, just wow

[stevenleser]

2. Yours is the second or third post of this kind recently. Something is wrong with the Sanders group

I think they are still trying to fight the primary.

[riderinthestorm]

14. Shrug, I see it as trolling. I can't speak for Segami nt

[stevenleser]

16. See my #13. nt

[obamanut2012]

44. Yeah, I've noticed it, too

[Snotcicles]

3. I hope you aren't complaining. You got the results you went looking for. nt

[baldguy]

6. per Skinner

"Bernie supporters" = Pretty much everyone who likes Bernie Sanders. This includes people who are going to vote for Hillary Clinton on November, and people who are not going to vote for her. It can even include people who supported Hillary Clinton in the Democratic Primaries but like Bernie too.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2303131

How does the post listed in the OP violate those terms?

[riderinthestorm]

8. See post #7 nt

[riderinthestorm]

4. Did you pm Segami? Why did you get the block?

I would guess its the slam on Bernie. The group is for supporters.

I'm all in for Hillary, and I hope Bernie wants to help overthrow the Republican Congress so

Snip

[L. Coyote]

9. Segami blocked me.

[riderinthestorm]

11. Yes, so he's the one you need to pm to ask why nt

[baldguy]

10. That's pretty thin.

[stevenleser]

13. So thin you can see through it. And since two other folks have had blocks and locks for

simply saying they are sending money to Hillary, I think that's not it.

[baldguy]

24. I can see locking the thread for just saying they're sending money to Hillary.

Or pretty much anything else off-topic. Not much having to do with Sanders, there. But they're not just locking the thread - they're blocking the poster, too! What the hell is the reason for that?

[stevenleser]

28. Even there, since Sanders is now supporting her, it's on topic from that standpoint. But OK, I would

be willing to say they can lock the topic. But blocking people for that is definitely refighting the primary.

[riderinthestorm]

48. FFS Steve, most of the 836 blocked in the Hillary group were 1 post and out

That's SOP and you know it yourself as a group host.

[stevenleser]

50. That was when the primary was actually going on. That is not the case now. I hope you can see the

difference.

[riderinthestorm]

38. Shrug. The Hillary camp pretty much destroyed the group with alerts

Hundreds of posts removed after Skinner's rule went into place.

Something is very very wrong with that.

Personally I see why Segami blocked and locked LCoyote but they need to take it up with the host directly.
.

[stevenleser]

49. IIRC the alerts were on posts violating the admins rules. Seems fair to me. nt

[bigwillq]

17. I got blocked from Sanders group, even though I am a Sanders supporter

I said "Bye, Felicia" to a user who posted a "Goodbye, DU" thread.

"Bye, Felicia" is my standard response to all "Goodbye, DU" threads.

[TheProgressive]

20. Nothing wrong with the Sanders' Group...

No sure why you were banned... But, it is the Sanders group.

Your statement "I hope Bernie wants to help overthrow the Republican Congress' means you have no idea what Senator Bernie stands for. Sanders is a statesperson and one of the top 3 people in the Congress who is a *real* Democrat. You implied that he 'doesn't want to help get rid of republicans. Most obviously, Sanders is a patriot and defender of America and Americans - especially the 99%

Just my opinion. You deserved to get your hand slapped. Banned? that is up to the Host.

[Codeine]

21. That person has proven poisonous at DU. nt

[L. Coyote]

25. I got zero traction trying to expose spying on Dems, but post something like this and ....

Republican Political Spying, Some History. Is It Happening Again?

We need to focus people, not block each other from speaking.

[grossproffit]

26. Wait, what? Is this the same Segami that's a member of the JPR hate site?

If they're the same person, why are they still hosting a forum here?

[ismnotwasm]

29. Yup, as are certain people posting in this thread

[grossproffit]

30. Wow. eom

[stevenleser]

32. The admins should definitely look at what is happening there.

I know admins are loathe to get involved in things going on in groups, but groups should not be able to be used as an end around to skirt important rules of the site.

It definitely seems like at least one host is trying to keep the primary fight going via that group.

Bernie is now a Hillary supporter. I can completely see Sanders supporters posting in that group to indicate they are now supporting Hillary per Bernie's own instructions and example.

[Barack_America]

34. Please stop stalking members on other sites.

And stop bringing the meta back here.

[stevenleser]

46. You have no right to tell other DUers what to do. nt

[Barack_America]

52. How ironic.

You are telling me to stop telling someone else to stop doing something?

[stevenleser]

53. Nope, I am simply saying you have no right to do it. nt

[obamanut2012]

51. yes

[The_Casual_Observer]

33. I got blocked months ago. I didn't know

This still existed. Most of those people went away to that jack off site didn't they?

[MoonRiver]

35. Contact Skinner directly!

This is outrageous.

[L. Coyote]

36. So, in just a few minutes, this thread has more views than my thread about Republicans spying on us.

Go figure!!

Republican Political Spying, Some History. Is It Happening Again?

This is not how we are going to win an election folks.

[obamanut2012]

39. Groups have to adhere to the TOS and intent of DU, too

I don't get how this isn't this?

[NurseJackie]

40. That's really NOT in the spirit of Skinner's post ...

This one:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=2303131

... and that's a shame.

[Dem2]

45. This is why I avoid the groups

Too many Donald "small hands" types abusing their power.
