(29,870 posts)Seemed a lot nicer than me and respected his stance so it surprised when I read the OP this morning and by night seen several OPs -- all long reply counts that had a general consensus (though Nukes thread I could see after the fact be a zero tolerance kind of opinion then stevenlesser's who heightens my suspicion to the highest based on judgment of "Bernie Sanders supporters" had no idea his fact appear to be wrong on the defense of the C-word (unless he is a zero tolerance guy too). I have pretty much the same opinions of Skip as you do but does strike me as an overreaction but how does Hillary Clinton tie into this (and it may be why it was an overreaction as 1 that i know of so far as claimed to be a supporter of Clinton but I'm not going down the road of speculation, just wondering where Hillary Clinton ties into this which brought up the possibility (to me anyway)
This is why I wish meta was still around. It was probably like pouring gasoline on a fire but it did clear up things, I suppose its better to have it brewing underneath with PMs and attacks over something unrelated to the seemingly innocent thread but better to address & challenge the problems but I totally get why though I wish there was an archive or something. I won't lie I loved reading for entertaining but hate its disappeared because there are liars who explain their lies with lies and when is challenged in-depth the truth is explained with lies but the kind of lies chosen were fascinating -- its hard to explain because the record is gone but post at FR, say you were slow playing them into liberals, get kicked out -- bounce out to another forum -- bash Democrats there & event post racist opinions but Meta was probably shut down for that reason -- certainly the call-out nature of the place had something to do with it. I don't know but (might as well go all-out) a DUers who I like a lot insulted people here for years with various insults (though it was more funny to me than offensive and troll accusations are up given that he has an H avatar and don't want him to be kicked off but he had an open transparency that would always remain open and had a suspension or two (one of them he says he is going to leave DU because a jury hid a post where he insulted someone that he felt he had a right to insult. Glad he came back, underneath it all he is a good & honest poster.
