People would do well to not take differences so personally.

The world will not end if some people on DU don't like the same things, or candidates, that I like. I mean, really ... viva la difference, and all ... Getting personally exorcised is a waste of time and energy, IMO.

Just what I was wondering, so it is or is not him? NoJusticeNoPeace Jun 2015 #53

Some troll was telling us he'd tracked down Sid's IP address KamaAina Jun 2015 #54

I'd put that notion the same place the troll went. Although it was funny. n/t freshwest Jun 2015 #68

It's coming from inside the house pintobean Jun 2015 #121

Why September? Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #52

I misread. He'll be able to post again June 11th. n/t freshwest Jun 2015 #64

I'll admit, I don't know the rules re: flagged accounts. Not sure what constitutes a "flagging".... Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #69

No, he's not flagged... Just suspended. Hides were questionable, IMO. You shouldn't've been flagged. freshwest Jun 2015 #72

I never question my hides, but the last one was so innocuous, it surprised even me. The jury pool.. Tarheel_Dem Jun 2015 #75

June 9 he'll be back. MohRokTah Jun 2015 #57

I must have misread it... Thought he'd be out all of June and July... Thanks for the correction. freshwest Jun 2015 #66

I certainly consider him a better person than the other poster. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #67

+1. freshwest Jun 2015 #70

Ah, irony is difficult to discern on an internet board when done with subtlety. eom MohRokTah Jun 2015 #119

I think Sid is a superb individual. It is a shame he was MADem Jun 2015 #120

He wasn't targeted. He is divisive, dismissive and devoid morningfog Jun 2015 #132
