51. That's a question for ATA

Wed Jul 1, 2015, 08:10 PM

Jul 2015

The Group Hosts would need clearly defined rules around that. I never got involved in META.

So I need clear definitions.

Understand - we do encounter what I call Polite Bigots at DU- and it's through their words here - that we encounter that.

I think AA is a great place to discuss that.

Most polite bigots get enraged when you point it out. So there's no point in writing "excuse me but don't say that in IRL."

They are just going to fly off the handle and we get two alerts and then flagged for review.

If you have sting feelings on this - you should go to ATA and ask the questions.

And this original op - I stand by. I will not lock it. I won't. randy posts back here quite a bit - if he needs to let off steam - fine by me.

One thing I wish - there are many peoplewho don't like this group or it's members. They can trash the whole thing, all of us - poof into thin air.

That shit is frustrating. bravenak Jun 2015 #26

And you actually took the trouble of trying to engage them. When I saw them running around Number23 Jun 2015 #31

Yep- I saw a "he marched in Selma what else do they want" and no one seemed to notice how hostile bettyellen Jul 2015 #40

You were NOT blocked from the Bernie Sanders Group for being a liberal. Jim Lane Jul 2015 #33

So Bernie supporters are not liberals, they are "white libertarians ...focused almost entirely on kath Jul 2015 #43

Some, absolutely, not all since I am a Bernie supporter and probably was long before randys1 Jul 2015 #44
