So what if the Admin support Hillary? It's their board.. they initiated it and kept it up and

running these years. They have a right to support who they want.

And, they have a right to ban SKP for his "clever" little misogynistic slur directed at Hillary Clinton.

"Troll"

Feel the Bern.

If she's not ready to handle spontaneous exchanges,

she is not fit for the Presidency. This is all smoke and mirrors, IMO. Yes, I am voting for Bernie but just thinking of her even pulling such a cunning stunt is pretty shockingly appalling.

I'm not sayin'--I'm just sayin'...

How SKP responded..
"Welcome to DU, Feel the Bern! And yes, it's a Cunning Stunt!

I say that to myself every day, over an over.

It can be a tongue twister!

If SKP wants back he needs to own it and apologize to the Admin when asking to be re-instated.. not try to wiggle out of it like others are trying to do for him.

Those making excuses for him.. from saying "it wasn't directed at Hillary" to "he really didn't say it" to "he was only joking" are doing him absolutely no good.

I actually appreciate what the Admin of DU have done for our Democracy all these years.

Is someone now trying to say he was Ignorant? 'Cause they're spinning their tops off coming up

with all kinds of excuses for him.

They're not doing SKP or Bernie any good..

SKP was directing it at Hillary Clinton and adding.. "I say that to myself every day, over an over

It can be a tongue twister!" Not freaking 1/2 as "clever" as he thought.. And, put it in his Journal just to make sure no one missed it.

Yeah, others are saying it.. and choosing to campaign for Bernie through misogyny..

"..but really is some of the dumbest fucking shit I've ever read on the internet." Juror #7

Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It's not the dreaded C word, but that's how this jerk is using the phrase. How clever. Oh, and all the Bernie supporters whining that this is the beginning of some purge is not cute, not adorable, but really is some of the dumbest fucking shit I've ever read on the internet. Don't like it here? Then fucking leave. No one is making you hang out here. And I say this as someone who likes all 3 of our Democrats running, even though I've not committed to one. The real reason these knuckleheads are crying about an imaginary purge is they aren't Sanders supporters. They just hate Clinton as much as the Republicans do. NYCSkip didn't give a fuck about Sanders. Ok, rant over. Hide this ass who thinks he's being clever but has actually exposed himself as the ass he is.

I actually think SKP does support Sanders.. but, his over the line rage tripped him up. the ones on DU who are denying what he said are only enabling him and not helping him get back. They're doing the opposite.

Juror #5 Nails it.. They're just making the case why SKP should have been banned. The Admins already knew this..

Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Completely inappropriate. NYC_SKP got banned, not sure why some folks are thinking that pushing that line is going to work out differently for them. One can only hope the admins are still paying attention.

"This is how Sanders supporters choose to campaign.. through misogyny".. In quotes because I read it and thought it applied.

You can call me out all you want.. it means nothing. Just because you want to excuse SKP for a

misogynistic slur against Hillary Clinton.. that's on you.

The important thing is that EarlG and the Admin got it and so do at lot of other people including Sanders' supporters.

Go wag your finger at the mirror.

President Obama was an amazing candidate and then won the Presidency and chose Hillary as his

first SOS.. as we all know.

Now here we all are again with Hillary running.. and I wish her well.

June 6, 2015

Aloha Ida, I'm friends with SKP on FB, too.. been friendly for years because he's a fellow

President Obama supporter for starters. We had a strong connection with that, including other members of the Barack Obama Group, that so many scorn on DU. So you make a connection and have a rapport.

And, SKP appreciates Obamacare... and thank goodness he joined! He's posted in great detail about his experiences on here.. how it has helped immeasurably with the medical crisis that he's had, and I'm thinking he appreciates that others have been helped by it, too.

I know SKP is not a "misogynist", a "racist", or a "homophobe". That's not what got him banned. He directed a misogynistic slur at Hillary Clinton for all the board to see..

I think he needs to own it.. admit he was wrong and apologize to the Admin and see what happens. All those who are in denial about this are not helping him. Imv, they are enabling. Of course, he'll probably come to his own conclusion on this, too, in spite, of all those who don't think he did anything wrong.

It's great that you've spoken out for your friend.. that's what friends are for.

I agree that the Admins who run this Board are good and caring people.. who have kept DU up and running through thick and thin.. and it has only gotten better over the years. I really respect them. Even more so now.

I think the "whisper you hear" are people being a little bit paranoid. Are they going to direct a misogynistic slur at Hillary Clinton or anyone else? If not and they maintain a level of civility.. Why would they worry? And, who knows.. maybe it wasn't just one post. Maybe the Admins took more into consideration.. they will have to be asked.. which I'm pretty sure there are questions in ATA doing that very thing. Could be wrong, though.

I was just on a jury where a poster was flirting with the "C" and being oh so clever.. but, it got a 4-3 Leave. The alert was..

"Another man pissed that a long time DU'er was TOS'ed for using the c word on our Democratic candidate. The backlash is strong toward women on DU because administration called out misogyny. This is the fifth post I have seen tonight with men playing with calling a woman a misogynist slur.."

I won't post the rest of the alert as it reveals a name.

This is not going to end well if it keeps up..

Here's what got SKP banned(if more hadn't been taken into consideration) the troll's post and SKP responding..

As you say.. others have been banned, with good reason I will add, and have returned..

I hope he realizes his mistake.. apologizes.. and maybe he can come back to DU. It's up to him first and foremost. Mahalo, Ida~
