(10,533 posts)Your opinion, as expressed by you two days ago, is that you despise Hillary Clinton and do not support the Democratic Party. So your motive in coming back here to push this particular story could only be to sow discord and undermine support for the nominee. Your own reply to me shows that you feel "lied to and cheated" and are here to redress a grievance from the primaries. That is a violation of the spirit, if not the letter, of the TOS.
And yes, people have the right to change their opinions in good faith. What they don't have the right to do is manipulate people on both sides of the fence and expect not to be called on it. I honestly didn't have the slightest idea who you were before this whole "public apology" gambit you pulled, but as a first impression, it was a doozy. Your actions have completely undermined any credibility or goodwill you might have built here.
As for the charge that I am "stalking" you, please do not flatter yourself. If you don't want to be noticed, then stop engaging in attention-seeking behavior. This is a community of grown-up progressives, many of whom have invested decades in the project of winning social and economic justice in small but significant, hard-won steps. I take comfort in the knowledge that we as a community far outnumber those "freshly minted" (and then un-minted, then sort-of-minted, and now I guess un-minted again?) interlopers who are prepared to see the whole country burn because they didn't get their way. Now, back to the Temper Tantrum Collective, I suppose, hopefully to do some deep thinking.
