78. It was this: "Hillary is the safer bet" in your post that got you in trouble.

This makes you a "Hillarian," the enemy. You are not who you say you are, your words twisted into diabolical hidden meanings. No matter how many times you insist you support Bernie and just want to discuss the campaigns, it is in vain. You are a monster, they the victims of your vicious attacks, you monster. At this point it can't even be taken personally, it's just what happens every day on the Internet. (It's not both sides -- most Democrats who do not care to be insulted prefer to tease, mock, post links refuting falsehoods, or ignore -- that's not offense, it's defense.)
