I knowingly replied to a post there regarding the use of a Peggy Noonan comment to make a point against Hillary. I didn't think Democrats should use Republican pundits to trash other Democrats. I never insulted Sanders, who I like very much, or his campaign. I got piled on, called clueless, all the while they were using the usual tactics to demean those they don't agree with. I answered their taunts and was banned for being a troll for answering the very posts they made against me.

You simply have to laugh at them.... They aren't doing their candidate justice. The worst thing is they claimed they didn't see anything wrong with quoting Noonan to use against Hillary. Unbelievable....

I did do one thing I know pissed them off... I told them I hadn't made up my mind about a candidate and at that moment, I hadn't... I did want to see more from O'Malley before I decided. But they pissed me off so much that I thought about it for a bit and decided since I knew I was going to end up supporting Hillary anyway, I'd just go ahead and make it public. They didn't like that either. But it was their doing.

I do hope we can come together when the primary is over. As you said, the stakes are too high.
