12. Oh, I'm unblocked from the Bernie group? Whoopee.

Thanks but no thanks. Sorry to be ungracious (no, I'm really not), but I was blocked for truthful posts that weren't even in that group.

In the Hillary group, I was blocked for an accidental post in that group, unblocked when intentions were straightened out, and reblocked upon my own request, to keep me out of trouble.

Sorry, apples and oranges.

This applies to the DU group, not Bernie himself, of course.

I was also Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #3

Understood you have no wish to post there. That is okay. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #148

Unity and yet you still post snarky comments about the Bernie group. Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #150

Thanks, George II! SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #4

Identical thing happened with me DFW Aug 2016 #97

Same here. I wasn't nasty or combative that I can recall. Nailzberg Aug 2016 #99

I haven't been unblocked from the Sanders group, and all I did was MADem Aug 2016 #95

I'm not unblocked either. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #114

I'm in good company, then! nt MADem Aug 2016 #118

Well then you are with me. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #130

I just got a memo! I'm back in the club, apparently! MADem Aug 2016 #142

50 of us still sitting there. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #144

And those Hill blocks, a lot of 'em were carry-overs from 2008. MADem Aug 2016 #145

Bogus accusations, yes MADem. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #146

Why are you complaining so loud? Duckhunter935 Aug 2016 #151

I agree. We are practical bravenak Aug 2016 #98

LOL SMC22307 Aug 2016 #143

We got us some.... TheCowsCameHome Aug 2016 #10

I got a message too. My first reaction was, is there still a Hillary group? cheapdate Aug 2016 #11

Well, I for one appreciated the gesture. nt SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #13

Not sure what the gesture signifies. cheapdate Aug 2016 #27

I see what you're saying. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #29

I believe it is a general amnesty. I was unlocked from the Bernie group. Fla Dem Aug 2016 #31

I don't believe that is the case. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #34

:-) NurseJackie Aug 2016 #45

I hadn't liked you previously either, but in this case, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #47

You are correct. The Hillary Group cleared all banned posters. Fla Dem Aug 2016 #65

Doesn't surprise me. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #67

they can ban me again Skittles Aug 2016 #72

It was about Unity. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #132

Huh? You don't say? cheapdate Aug 2016 #140

Hadn't realized I was blocked until I got the messageI was unblocked. redwitch Aug 2016 #14

Same here! Like winning a raffle I hadn't entered. Eleanors38 Aug 2016 #16

they blocked anyone who wasn't swooning Skittles Aug 2016 #19

Same with the Sanders Group, from which I was just unblocked. Nice gesture. Metric System Aug 2016 #26

I had them both trashed awoke_in_2003 Aug 2016 #48

Well, I didn't know why but was pleased enough Hortensis Aug 2016 #17

I had been blocked from it - and I was a supporter of Bernie's! Chemisse Aug 2016 #61

and I was a supporter of Hillary and was blocked from the Bernie group for suggesting whoever still_one Aug 2016 #82

Oh, it's not quite everyone? Hortensis Aug 2016 #106

I had assumed everyone was unblocked en mass. Chemisse Aug 2016 #110

I realize that Incidentally I am not bothered by it, every group can determine who they want or still_one Aug 2016 #111

You're right. Chemisse Aug 2016 #113

I just noticed this morning that I have been unblocked from the Bernie group. I appreciate the still_one Aug 2016 #122

I wasn't unblocked. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #112

How naughty! LOL. Chemisse Aug 2016 #115

Time will tell. greatauntoftriplets Aug 2016 #117

The Hillary Group unblocked en mass. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #133

I laughed when I saw that Skittles Aug 2016 #18

Hehe! Hilarious. kysrsoze Aug 2016 #21

the person who blocked me, on Ignore forever Skittles Aug 2016 #22

Don't you mean Hillarious? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #37

OMG. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #30

I thought it was a pretty nice gesture, Skittles. Sorry you don't. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #134

Whatever you do, don't say anything even slightly critical of her. kysrsoze Aug 2016 #20

agreed Skittles Aug 2016 #23

If I may ask, was it in the group or out? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #41

half the time, people did not even know Skittles Aug 2016 #58

Oh, agree. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #64

I'm sure we all want to beat Trump Skittles Aug 2016 #70

We may well be talking about different people, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #71

The Sanders group still hasn't unblocked me. Which is fine by me. Squinch Aug 2016 #24

Ditto. SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #32

I'm simply beside myself with joy. kiva Aug 2016 #25

Is this parole or a pardon? JonathanRackham Aug 2016 #28

I was unblocked from the Sanders group-I was one of the first ten to be blocked redstateblues Aug 2016 #36

AMEN! SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #38

unblocked enid602 Aug 2016 #39

I had never intended to post in the Hillary group in the first place. Probably would have never brewens Aug 2016 #43

The Bernie group did the same. cwydro Aug 2016 #40

Well, they're in the process, not finished yet. (I guess it's a one-by-one tedious thing.) NurseJackie Aug 2016 #42

Yes, I got my "notice" today. cwydro Aug 2016 #44

I trashed the Tiger Beat groups Skittles Aug 2016 #141

I didn't trash them, but I read them occasionally for entertainment value lol. cwydro Aug 2016 #153

I wonder what the "process" is. joshcryer Aug 2016 #156

If you look at the remaining names, it's pretty clear what's going on. :-P NurseJackie Aug 2016 #159

It's a nice list of the best long time, amiable, good DUers. joshcryer Aug 2016 #161

It's kinda cool! Like a "JOB WELL DONE" acknowledgement! NurseJackie Aug 2016 #162

Especially given the JPR hate site. joshcryer Aug 2016 #163

Yeah, really? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #46

Coincidence probably. cwydro Aug 2016 #49

Well, it's a nice gesture anyway, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #66

No, I would say selective. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #135

That is not accurate. Here is the message I get still_one Aug 2016 #84

"don't know what to do!" - uh, here's a thought: Support her? UTUSN Aug 2016 #50

My ears are burning ;) unblock Aug 2016 #51

I think it was a nice gesture. KMOD Aug 2016 #53

Some of the responses in this thread, sadly, show that some have not moved past. cwydro Aug 2016 #57

I'm willing to give all a chance to get over KMOD Aug 2016 #62

I just looked at the list of posters the Bernie Sanders group KMOD Aug 2016 #68

From what I understand, there is going to be a general amnesty. cwydro Aug 2016 #125

See my post above, cwydro. sheshe2 Aug 2016 #136

Why do we need a Hillary group? She's the nominee. We support her. End of story. n/t Binkie The Clown Aug 2016 #55

There are a lot of different groups on DU. KMOD Aug 2016 #63

Good, that is nice. So I was thinking maybe there was a similar reciprocation going on with still_one Aug 2016 #56

I was unblocked from there earlier. cwydro Aug 2016 #59

................................................... still_one Aug 2016 #60

Just curious - in or out of the group? SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #69

I am blocked from the Bernie group, but it is their group and their decision. I just thought from still_one Aug 2016 #75

you have a point still_one Aug 2016 #102

That's what I thought too, SusanCalvin Aug 2016 #123

I just checked, and I am now unblocked from the Bernie group. So here's hoping that more meaningful still_one Aug 2016 #124

I got blocked from the Bernie group for posting an article about Bernie endorsing Hillary. Cali_Democrat Aug 2016 #100

The Bernie group hasn't unblocked me. Also, when you use terms such as "Saint Hillary", what still_one Aug 2016 #77

What it conveys is the unthinking SheilaT Aug 2016 #78

Hillary is not the lesser of two evils. still_one Aug 2016 #80

Are you suggesting she is the greater of two evils? SheilaT Aug 2016 #85

No, you did, and you know it. Perhaps you should read what you wrote still_one Aug 2016 #88

The post is reality Mojorabbit Aug 2016 #154

I don't think DU is a good fit for you. KMOD Aug 2016 #94

Dangerous? KMOD Aug 2016 #90

Supporting Hillary isn't "unthinking." It is quite deliberate. We have a choice: Hillary or Donald Squinch Aug 2016 #128

Of course the flaws can be acknowledged here. joshcryer Aug 2016 #157

Saint Hillary! KMOD Aug 2016 #87

FFS is right. The subthread gets better still_one Aug 2016 #89

Thoughts like that are just as dangerous as tRump. KMOD Aug 2016 #91

I guess it is tough to accept for such an unpopular candidate she got more than 4 million votes still_one Aug 2016 #93

Don't plan on going back anyway MichMan Aug 2016 #74

I feel the same about my banning from the BS group. I was banned from the BS group for Squinch Aug 2016 #129
