Had to do my first block email

I got two emails last night from a newly booted (again) member who likes vanilla. Ha!

But watched the new Feel the Bern video and feel so sorry for H supporters who don't have a candidate that inspires this much excitement.

I didn't know that. You can use the "Alert abuse" button on the bottom left of the email message.

There is an unhinged thing going on there, methinks.

A thing I have noticed about Bernie's supporters, as opposed to some the supporters of other candidates - we don't get frothing at the keyboard angry because others won't switch to supporting our candidate. Or post long condescending screeds about how stupid people are if they don't agree with the author. Whole lot of authoritarianism or something going on there. Or else some sort of fruitless "all must submit" assignment.

Used to be irritating, now it is entertaining. It is never effective, though. And many supporters of other candidates don't seem to understand that support for Bernie is about the issues.

I'm so excited to share my excitement about Bernie with other people. But, if someone does not agree with his issues, there's nothing to talk about. I don't hate them! I'm not going to argue about it. I think that's a new concept in politics today--screaming and yelling the loudest about your issue is not going to change people's minds anymore.
Part of the reason I can't stand watching "debates" on TV. Even Thom Hartmanns TV show gets my blood pressure up and I have to turn it off when RW people scream and yell over everyone. Talking and listening are important! Bernie gets that.

Are they permanently gone?

Hell, if they did it to NYC_Skip, then this one needs to be gone too.
