posted without comment an OP containing an excerpt of an article from another site that suggested that people who really supported Bernie should sign a pledge to write in Bernie's name in the general, if Hillary won the primary. Admins took this as a tacit declaration that he/she supported this idea, and ppr'ed him/her. And, btw, admin has made it clear that the ToS part that talks about not being allowed to diss the nominee after both party's nominees are known, does not actually have any such time limitation, and proclaiming "believably" that you will not vote for Hillary should she win the nomination will get you banned even now, long before the actual nominee is known. Now whether or not that means that anyone who gets banned now for refusing to support hypothetical Hillary is to be reinstated if Bernie wins the nomination has not been said.
