In reply to the discussion: That new hate site that some HRC supporters started is a real hoot [View all]nadinbrzezinski
(154,021 posts)the people doing this shit are a very small minority of HRC supporters (and even that at times I question)... for the most part, HRC supporters that I have met in the real world and online are decent people. Yeah, they believe their candidate can walk on water, but so do partisans for every other candidate out there.
When you cover politics as a beat you learn that one FAST. So you listen, to how candidate wonderful will save the city, board, house, assembly, senate, state senate or the nation. This is why people are called partisans...
I see these folks mostly as desperate, bullies who have gotten away with a lot over the years here, with no consequence. But accidentally, mind you, some of the tools the admins did put in place might be creating a new community standard, that no longer allows that shit to continue here (for the most part) Why some of their posts at their protected sites complaining that they are not allowed to speak freely (and bully) are the kind that make me laugh HARD.
I started to realize that after the first site was exposed a change was happening and that is now perhaps accelerating.
Hell, they have gone after me with now three alerts on this whole massive thread, and all they gotten was a 5-2 to leave all three times. That IS pissing them off.
And it is making me smile and laugh.
Ha, ha that is what you do with bullies.
