For SHAME, Bernie would not approve!

235. Thanks...

...for talking about a specific example. I am not familiar with some of what you are referencing, though somewhat familiar with the most recent incident that resulted in the banning.

My impression about the c-word post was that he was referencing the comment of some other troll. The actual intention there was not clear to me, but admin has the right to moderate content.

Maybe he was more motivated by a fetishistic abhorrence for Hillary than he was by commitment to positions on issues. It could go either way.

But I appreciate that you brought up something specific, even though I don't know how productive it would be to re-hash this, because moving forward I would like to make more of an attempt, personally, to stay in the text, as a college literature professor used to always remind us to do. And I would like to see other people do more of that too.

It is hard enough that many of us under this Democratic umbrella have strong differences of opinion about the direction of our party and are at odds with one another. That's a tough-BUT NECESSARY-position for us to be in. Making sweeping characterizations of each other while we work through it makes it more difficult.

I am sure I will continue to speak passionately, but I really will try to stay in the text, as well as discern interests from positions, and realize when positions don't necessarily serve interests.
