In reply to the discussion: It's perfectly clear that the ass who wrote those horrible letters to Bravenak has lost... [View all]Utopian Leftist

The writer is not the kind of person who would get the message about their own wrong-doing on their own. They're always going to think that they're justified.
I am no one in this discussion other than a DU member and observer of human behavior. But you have made an important point here. The person who wrote that letter appears to believe that the pressure put on bravenak could somehow inadvertently benefit Senator Sanders campaign. Anyone who would think such a thing is sick. Clearly deranged. The question of which candidate has the support of this deranged person is clearly irrelevant, because you are not dealing with someone who is playing with a full deck of cards so to speak, to begin with. Based on this alone, it's reasonable to predict that the culprit will turn out to be someone either with severe mental health issues or a profoundly dangerous lack of self-awareness. That should be obvious based on the idea that the culprit actually believed his or her letter, and his or her pressure on bravenak, would have some inadvertently positive affect on the Sanders campaign. Any adult who would think such a thing, who would think that a menacing letter to an opponent would assist a progressive campaign on a progressive board would pretty much have to be a deeply disturbed, confused individual. Wouldn't they?

OP
Did you read the letter? I read it and I didn't immediately get that reaction.

I think that they're actively engaging in the kind of in-fighting that been done before

I still remember the original Obama in-fighting here, and I was just a lurker then.

I get topic-overload around here sometimes, but there can't be enough threads supporting Bravenak.

Bravenak is absolutely as sweet as pie, and didn't deserve hate mail sent to her house.

I would have thought that 800 years would be ample time to gain an understaing of a simple concept.

My solution is uncovering the writer of that letter and kicking him off the site.
