The hide of CK_John's tread re Obama possible impeachment if GOP wins 2014 was nut. [View all] mylye2222 Jul 2014 OP

It was a good hide.nt bravenak Jul 2014 #1

I knew better to alert to the hosts, but the juries can occasionally do the right thing. bettyellen Jul 2014 #15

Good job!! That was some shameful mess he did. bravenak Jul 2014 #20

Yep, and not one host brought it out for discussion in 45 minutes- even though I see some posting bettyellen Jul 2014 #24

I take a look back there from time to time. bravenak Jul 2014 #26

but they are polite to them because they think it's "professional" Doing nothing is professional?? bettyellen Jul 2014 #29

Some people are more equal than others. bravenak Jul 2014 #31

yep- I am on the list. The list of people who are actually effected by social justice issues and bettyellen Jul 2014 #41

Love your calling out this behavior for what it is. Ucrdem (I'm probably spelling that wrong) Number23 Jul 2014 #145

Not surprised in the least that that happened... SidDithers Jul 2014 #147

Great ideas, Sid. Have you posted them in AtA?? Number23 Jul 2014 #148

Some people are in groups apparently! zappaman Jul 2014 #73

What? They're ignoring alerts from certain posters?... SidDithers Jul 2014 #75

yes! Me, Zappaman, Peace Nikki , Number23 and ?? are some sort of cabal...... bettyellen Jul 2014 #77

I once had a post hidden for pointing out basically the same thing... SidDithers Jul 2014 #82

The Host forum should be open for all to read, and for only Hosts to post in. morningfog Jul 2014 #127

I'd be OK with both those ideas... SidDithers Jul 2014 #128

you should see what they are saying about this thread and several duers back there now PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #136

Yep, but if they don't like the criticism Union Scribe Jul 2014 #138

Ah, but Sid and I were 2 of the 4 or 5 alerts. They said our alerts are 'disruptive' and ignore them PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #139

the hosts could use some more cowbell! bettyellen Jul 2014 #76

Moderators had a "drinks cabinet"...open 24 hours.... NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #144

Four alerts on this thread, the first nearly an hour old. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2014 #51

And if anyone wants to hide it- it'll be because of THIS discussion- not the OP. bettyellen Jul 2014 #52

And a non-GD host just posted it -- five alerts now. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2014 #55

I just got alerted on for telling the truth about some hosts, LOL. And 3 emails thanking me for it! bettyellen Jul 2014 #56

Not surprised. greatauntoftriplets Jul 2014 #60

Nope- 6-1 Leave! I guess only one host was on that jury. bettyellen Jul 2014 #63

Good! greatauntoftriplets Jul 2014 #64

Got another one- 3-4. bettyellen Jul 2014 #88

I had a moment yesterday. They don't want me 'stirring shit' in the hosts forum so I'll do it in GD PeaceNikki Jul 2014 #68

Well Bobbie Jo Jul 2014 #84

Give 'em hell bettyellen! joshcryer Jul 2014 #118

Shocked. Shocked I am... SidDithers Jul 2014 #59

Really! greatauntoftriplets Jul 2014 #61

That was close! Cali_Democrat Jul 2014 #86

I got three alerts for telling the truth about some hosts- these alerters should be ashamed. bettyellen Jul 2014 #87

You should be ashamed of calling some hosts 'RW assholes' muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #94

Disagree Cali_Democrat Jul 2014 #98

It's okay for hosts to try and humiliate women here- but god forbid you say anything about it- LOL. bettyellen Jul 2014 #104

Community standards are on my side. A least juries sometimes have some, and actually bettyellen Jul 2014 #99

Bollocks - community standards do nto support calling DUers 'RW assholes' muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #100

People who don't post hatred of NRA and third wayers do not deserve to alert on anything, so a host bettyellen Jul 2014 #101

Then your problem appears to be with a left wing host, not a right wing one muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #108

Both, actually- so no. I was saying that there are those who are punative towards people who do not bettyellen Jul 2014 #111

Respectfully disagree. H2O Man Jul 2014 #123

look at what bettyellen is doing - taking a thread about 1 OP, and using it to attack hosts muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #146

Well done... SidDithers Jul 2014 #40

I get lost sometimes...not sure what the original thread was about that OP refers to randys1 Jul 2014 #102

The one where ckjohn said President Obama should resign.nt bravenak Jul 2014 #109

LOLOLOL for what reason? LOLOLOL randys1 Jul 2014 #110

Because if the republicans impeach him..... Romney will be president!! bravenak Jul 2014 #112

NO, what? randys1 Jul 2014 #113

I'm going to BBQ in the midnight sun. bravenak Jul 2014 #114

It was very stupid and very sad.nt bravenak Jul 2014 #131

Great Hide and now we have someone defending it.. Rofl. Have fun at your Cha Jul 2014 #133

Beautiful shot!!!! bravenak Jul 2014 #134

I think that is soooo Cool! Cha Jul 2014 #135

BEST...HIDE ...EVER!!!!! nt joeybee12 Jul 2014 #6

thanks- I alerted to a jury, since hosts were ignoring it for 45 minutes. And hosts have encouraged bettyellen Jul 2014 #13

I was going to post a response to it, something like... joeybee12 Jul 2014 #17

Sadly, it was only 4-3. But the hosts are fine w/ RW shit- and whining about RW shit getting hidden bettyellen Jul 2014 #21

There's vindictiveness in jury decisions...IMHO... joeybee12 Jul 2014 #28

But it is worse in hosts, because it's the same 3-4 people who protect hatred against Dems, bettyellen Jul 2014 #30

The only thing safe to post is... joeybee12 Jul 2014 #36

Ahh, a "wee poser"! LOVE. bettyellen Jul 2014 #42

I hope I never meet the person who alerts on your cat smokey nj Jul 2014 #47

But at least it was a hide. n/t GP6971 Jul 2014 #34

There's 20 hosts for GD right now, with 21 on the waiting list. Iggo Jul 2014 #91

who knows, it seems half are consistently no show. A few post meta disruptive stuff themselves bettyellen Jul 2014 #96

There is ongoing turnover, 90 day terms, waiting list to serve. NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #120

the owners shouldn't allow it. BainsBane Jul 2014 #141

I wonder, is it just an experiment in a self-running board? NYC_SKP Jul 2014 #142

I think they are bored with DU BainsBane Jul 2014 #143

Incorrect. The one alert on it went in at 4:50, and the jury finished voting at 5:24 muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #92

34 minutes? And how long for the other one.? 1:30 alert and only one post from a GD host now- after bettyellen Jul 2014 #93

It took 55 minutes for a GD host to notice the alert on this thread muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #95

and three hours later- only one host has voted. Not whining my dear- just explaining to those who bettyellen Jul 2014 #97

Were they sleeping? Cha Jul 2014 #132

LOL, they all show up after they mistakenly thought it was locked....and now that it's a solid leave bettyellen Jul 2014 #137

Come on please. You know that if RW wins, they will try! mylye2222 Jul 2014 #7

Even if they get the senate, they need too many votes to convict. bravenak Jul 2014 #11

They'll still try because it helps republicans continue their obstruction in congress abelenkpe Jul 2014 #33

Seriously, resigning would be the worst thing he could do imo. Rex Jul 2014 #9

What's past is prologue. The poster has a history of posting nonsense, imho. myrna minx Jul 2014 #10

WTF? We seem to be under a flood of people telling us to give up when the going gets tough. FSogol Jul 2014 #12

I disagree with u. mylye2222 Jul 2014 #19

"Somewhat realistic"! Bwwwhhaaaaaaa! FSogol Jul 2014 #22

ROFL alcibiades_mystery Jul 2014 #67

he is NOT realistic, he has attacked women who are pro choice JI7 Jul 2014 #122

He said the president should resign if impeached by the gop house. hrmjustin Jul 2014 #18

How familiar are you with with CK_John's posts? They are random pieces of BS muriel_volestrangler Jul 2014 #85

^^^ This is the truth. Iggo Jul 2014 #106

Exactly right. cyberswede Jul 2014 #126

You must not be familiar with his posting history. morningfog Jul 2014 #90
