(9,258 posts)25. You drew flak there from a lot of righties who can dish it out, but run screaming to the jury
every chance they get. And there is only a very small group of rightie members on that site who won't automatically vote against their opposition to get you hidden or suspended.
The konfed flag icon is not made available by the site, people insert their own images for icons, gab.

I agree. I used to post there but got very bored with the cons that post on that site.

The alert swarming really gets old on that sight. Another reason I quit posting.

The other thing I've noticed about that site is that some of the con posters seem to be there 24/7.

It is allowed to post a link to that site here on DU? Can't do it with that other site...

Exactly. Got booted twice by folks just like that. The confederate flag is quite offensive.

I agree, they love using the confederate flag as their avatar and really get into their gun porn.
