or change your email address to some garbage email address AND change your password, and lock yourself out.

You're still on the membership rolls, in any event, even if you stop posting--it's like the Roach Motel up in here, you can check in, but it's harder to check out.

Unless you choose to post a few dozen really offensive posts (beyond the churlish "big fat fuck you" nonsense--that's just your own snarky pique, and nothing more) that get your posts hidden....of course nowadays, you'll have to get REALLY offensive (perhaps use a few banned terms) because it's amazing how many simply rude and crude comments are left to stand.

So--if you are SERIOUS, mind you-- let rip with a few B or C words, or maybe some slurs against a minority group, and you'll rack up those HIDES in no time, and then you'll be well and truly "turned off" from this place, "immediately and permanently."

Good question. But I know Catherina will be sadly missed! sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #33

Pretend Bernie Supporters? Who are they? randys1 Nov 2015 #79

You can't be that naive. The Cave has launched an all out attack. Sign up as a Sanders rhett o rick Nov 2015 #169

This actually makes me happy. It explains a lot. MADem Nov 2015 #186

Lol, me too. But it isn't Sanders supporters that runs that new cave. sabrina 1 Nov 2015 #192

I don't think the referenced Cave is new. They've been around for years--they took out Andy. nt MADem Nov 2015 #196
