860. I'm a newbie by NYC_SKP standards.

Thu Jun 4, 2015, 06:13 PM

Jun 2015

I used to lurk more than I posted, but enthusiasm over the primaries has caused me to post more often. I can honestly say the nastiness goes both directions; a statement to that effect did get me banned from the Hillary group.

I have always enjoyed NYC_SKP's posts and I am saddened to see he is banned for the mis-perception of using a word that was not actually what he did use. If you misread it, that's unfortunate, but to continue slamming him for the mistake is sad. I have never felt the need to use ignore. I can do that on my own without pushing a button.

I've enjoyed DU and hope to continue that enjoyment, but in the toxic environment of the moment I am starting to be fearful of posting. We aren't all professional journalists and sometimes don't express ourselves perfectly. We all don't read perfectly either, and need to take a step back occasionally.

Thank you Dragonfli for your clarification in this matter.
