I assume that means the question was answered satisfactorily?

I notice there is no response to your question sammythecat Apr 2018 #123

I notice you had no response to my response to the question EffieBlack Apr 2018 #125

Because his question was factually un-informed emulatorloo Apr 2018 #129

Your question isn't pertinent to the point of my OP EffieBlack Apr 2018 #124

Big fail. You got your ass handed to you above. And Bernie doesnt need your kind of help emulatorloo Apr 2018 #128

That story is hilarious. TY for sharing it. Ferrets are Cool Apr 2018 #107

One may safely presume 'however', 'although' and 'yet' also used to express this alleged negation LanternWaste Apr 2018 #27

Wrong. It's the opposite, actually. nt pnwmom Apr 2018 #30

Because actually addressing the points in my OP is just too difficult? EffieBlack Apr 2018 #31

Hrmmm...where'd ya read that. TCJ70 Apr 2018 #68

I'm so glad you're reading my posts! EffieBlack Apr 2018 #70

I can't believe anyone actually has to explain this to you EffieBlack Apr 2018 #75

If it is not a bash-Sanders thread, why start it at all? Save a post like this for a reply Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #44

How is this a "bash Sanders thread?" EffieBlack Apr 2018 #45

You scratch an open wound UNnecessarily, keeping it festering without healing. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #47

So, it's NOT a "bash Sanders" thread, then but "scratches an open wound?" EffieBlack Apr 2018 #48

Call it that if you prefer, because it does that. It was UNnecessary to start a THREAD. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #51

Perhaps you'd like to join THIS thread, which occurred BEFORE my OP, and admonish folk not to EffieBlack Apr 2018 #53

That backhanded argument is not you at your best. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #78

Thank you for your "feedback." EffieBlack Apr 2018 #80

You're not the boss.. I'm glad Effie Black post as she Cha Apr 2018 #97

It's known as "vetting" a potential candidate, something that is finally being done here on DU George II Apr 2018 #66

Vetting is great. Opening this thread out of context is not the best way to do that, I feel. . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #79

How can an OP be "out of context"? It is it's own context. George II Apr 2018 #83

Apparently, some topics are only to be discussed in "quiet rooms" nt EffieBlack Apr 2018 #84

Nonsense. Nothing I wrote implies that. I even encouraged you to use it as a reply multiple times. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #86

"Quiet Rooms" buried in various random threads in response to various random posts EffieBlack Apr 2018 #90

Of course. I feel that creating a context like that was unnecessary for what is a "response". Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #85

When all else fails.. Cha Apr 2018 #118

Indeed. Nt EffieBlack Apr 2018 #119

Oh, and thanks for your advice on where and how I should communicate on DU EffieBlack Apr 2018 #52

If we can't give each other feedback, we lose a way to improve. You can reply to POST you mention. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #58

I posted it in another reply to you, but here it is again EffieBlack Apr 2018 #61

Purism in feedback & instruction is impractical. As if your post there didn't "instruct". & OP here. Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #72

Just alert on the thread and be done with. Or else simply trash the thread emulatorloo Apr 2018 #132

Don't tell Effie how to post. Cha Apr 2018 #96

Perhaps we should hope you take your own advice about telling people how to post. . . . nt Bernardo de La Paz Apr 2018 #98

Oh right.. just keep it up then, if you so desire Cha Apr 2018 #100

Heh. Thanx coach The Polack MSgt Apr 2018 #108

I certainly do. nt EffieBlack Apr 2018 #116

Of course that's true. But what's the point? Tom Rinaldo Apr 2018 #50

I find it hard to believe you missed the point. But let me explain it again EffieBlack Apr 2018 #56

I got that point Tom Rinaldo Apr 2018 #92

My post does not "make Bernie Sanders a daily topic of negative discussion" EffieBlack Apr 2018 #94

In all of these types of threads, I fail to see what terrible things Bernie has done IronLionZion Apr 2018 #54

Either you didn't read my OP or you're being ridiculous on purpose. EffieBlack Apr 2018 #59

What's your purpose? IronLionZion Apr 2018 #65

I explicitly stated it in my OP EffieBlack Apr 2018 #67

I dont know if its inappropriate. I dont find it especially pertinent. David__77 Apr 2018 #55

Then please feel free to ignore it if it's not pertinent to you EffieBlack Apr 2018 #57

I referred to the reference to past participation in demonstrations. David__77 Apr 2018 #60

Not at all - I have to preface my post with such verbiage to try to prevent the alert-mongers and EffieBlack Apr 2018 #76

Or not. Caliman73 Apr 2018 #93

right.. No one must have any criticism of BS at Cha Apr 2018 #99

Again, i said white liberal POLITICIANS karynnj Apr 2018 #145

No, that's NOT what you said. EffieBlack Apr 2018 #146

It is exactly what I said in post 102 karynnj Apr 2018 #148

I wasn't responding to Post 102. I was responding to the post I responded to EffieBlack Apr 2018 #149
