Why was this thread locked?

I tried to post there and got a yellow band saying I couldn't because it was locked:

1. It mentions Bernie, which means it's allowed.....

in GD and his group only.

2. There is usually a reason given, at the bottom of the post.

Apparently, this post was a duplicate, which is against the rules.

3. Except it wasn't really.

But whatever.

Here's the repost:

5. I'm so sorry, my dear hissyspit.

All I read was the locking message. I had no idea that these shenanigans were going on.

And that's not right.

8. I just posted about this in the Bernie Group

Because I think this was deliberate. There was an earlier thread in the forum, by a Hillary supporter, but it was a downer thread, so nobody really wanted to rec or kick it. It only got 35 recs. So when a Bernie supporter posted it as an upper thread, it got killed (by a Hillary supporter mod), and I think this is a deliberate tactic they may be coordianting and using to shut us down. So please beware and if you have breaking news, please check that it's not already posted by a Hillary supporter. Try to get it out early, and if you can't go to the Primary forum.
