Jan 2014

I've been IN many of those "Shit On Clinton" threads--it's not "snooping and judging" when one has been on the receiving end of some of the scathing commentary-and I've got some more news for you, Google isn't a "secret weapon"--everyone has it.

Where did I ever, once, say "This poster is a troll?"

Please point that out. Oh, wait--you can't...because you made that up. You leapt to an unfounded conclusion. You shouldn't do that.

All I'm saying is that this person despises Hillary Clinton, and her remarks need to be taken in that context. I proved what I asserted with LINKS--that is how most people do it, you know--or do you prefer that people make insinuations, or suggestions...and NOT back up what they're saying?

She's not a neutral "honest broker." Her vague little thread starting pot-stirring post would make one think otherwise, had they not encountered her many times before, as I have.

Right now, there's no "rule" that stops her from "Hillary Hating." If HRC is the nominee, though, she'll have to curb her enthusiasm.

You can take this factual information, and you can ignore it if that is your preference. I do suspect, though, that there are people here who support HRC who will find this information of use, even if you don't.

I think the name calling and mockery, which were the full content of that post Bluenorthwest Jan 2014 #85

Agreed. I'm no Hillary fan, but the fact that post was hidden is a fucking joke. Drunken Irishman Jan 2014 #116

Lots of burned bridges. If you act like a total ass, people remember. morningfog Jan 2014 #120

Agreed...and it's not just with spiteful people going after certain posters... Drunken Irishman Jan 2014 #146

It has nothing to do with who he is a fan of, I suspect. morningfog Jan 2014 #118

I have no recollection of that poster being a disruptor. Whisp Jan 2014 #121

He regularly engages in personal attacks, albeit usually worse than this one. morningfog Jan 2014 #125

I think each post should be judged on its own merit and Poster History shouldn't come Whisp Jan 2014 #128

You know it means they had 4 other hides correct? n-t Logical Jan 2014 #136

You have OPTIONS. One option is to HIDE THREADS that don't interest you. MADem Jan 2014 #5

My understanding is that the OP is about news programs rather than the DU Fumesucker Jan 2014 #6

Concur, seems it's about talking heads. joshcryer Jan 2014 #8

I invite your attention to posts nine and twelve. MADem Jan 2014 #13

There is "some history with this individual"...WTF? KoKo Jan 2014 #21

Excuse the hell out of me. MADem Jan 2014 #38

No, this is about posting on DU, and not the first time this poster has made this gripe. MADem Jan 2014 #9

Again, pushing the remote button is evidently what the OP is doing Fumesucker Jan 2014 #11

"You have options" BainsBane Jan 2014 #16

No idea--but it's sustained. nt MADem Jan 2014 #91

MADem ....sorry this looks like "stalking" to me of this poster.... KoKo Jan 2014 #19
