FYI - Beware that Bernie supporters are mischaracterizing posts because they want to get a Hillary

18. I am trying to remember if any other banned poster was ever

made the subject of such hue and cry by his or her friends.

Middlefinger Mom was. But I think that was a genuine misunderstanding. He needed this place, and I am glad they brought him back.

At the time of his banning, I asked some questions about that guy with the beer and travel money. I liked his whimsy. I received an answer. His banning was justified.

I think some of the Bernie supporters, the genuine ones and the others who come here to cause trouble, are trying to agitate until the banned person is reinstated. If they do that, maybe they can wait until 2017.

What really surprises me is the number of people trying to copy the banned post with similar posts that come close to the line. I served on a jury for one of those posts, and could not believe it was allowed to stand.

I have always thought the person in question was a bully. I did not respond in his threads, even when I agreed with him. After awhile, I stopped reading his rants.
