46. And sometimes I can be an asshole.

This poster is not my responsibility, I am only responsible for myself. I am not a "member" of the Bernie Sanders group. I do belong to it, requested that it not be a nasty group and that it not just ban people who were not 100% behind him. I was one person among a few but the group decided otherwise. I go in, rec what I want to rec and occasionally post but spend next to no time there and really only "know" a few of the people supporting Sanders. I am 100% a supporter of Sanders.

This was not "concern". Really, concern? It was disgust at the behavior of a poster I had never heard of. It would not have mattered if it was someone who had been here a long long time who I was familiar with. This actually had little to do with Hillary per se but the use of the word aimed at her. I came in because I was horrified and knew it would make this group feel terrible and I wanted to be supportive, not concerned but actually supportive.

I don't think just because someone recs posts and says "right on" that they can be pinned to anything when it seems they are not exactly known by many here on all sides.

"My" team eh? This is not sports and I don't have to defend anyone but myself and I don't appreciate my heart felt post being referred to as "concern". This poster will be controlled by the entire DU membership and hopefully/probably soon. I will not tolerate anyone calling her sexist names, I don't like it for anyone. She is a woman doing incredible work whether a person supports her or not.
