Che calls me ignorant I called him a hiding cockroach he called me a cockroach and blocked me at the same time I could not respond. I guess I do not understand why people hide. For me transparency and light are antiseptic.

The Admins probably have the ability to manual choose a thread. These forums are apart of DU and I think they should be included in the trends. People just have to read what group they are posting in before they do it.

The group is a safe haven for admirers of the president and the group does not care for criticism. Did they give you a reason why you were banned from the room?
