138. Did you appeal the block?

Fri Mar 4, 2016, 08:57 AM

Mar 2016

I was once blocked for getting into an argument with another poster there. I appealed it and it was removed. I since had to put that poster and about a half dozen others on ignore because of their toxicity and my participation rate dropped.

This time, however, I was blocked within minutes of disavowing that call out thread created by a troll who got banned, particularly because the sentiment is not something Sanders would be for. I disavow it because it is not who I am, and who Sanders is. It looks bad on me, a supporter who actually got delegates (and indirectly a state) for Sanders, and it looks bad on a great man. This is not hard stuff to understand.

I like being able to have the freedom to support my preferred candidate, particularly because my state went for Sanders. Since I believe the block is in error I will wait to see what they have to say.
