I only get into trouble on DU when I try to get to what's real.

322. No host has that ability. They must post first, exactly as MADem said. Skinner said so in ATA. So...

I don't believe this or perhaps they were blocked by another group. I remember a kerfluffel when someone who had been banned by Energy, etc. group complained in a thread.

The posters on the thread immediately jumped in to loudly complain that they had also been bluffed by the infamoust BOG or HOF in a knee jerk manner.

Until some people noted he'd not been blocked by either, but the Energy group did it!

I've been asked to a Host to some groups and refused. For the reason that I was not able to pre-emptively block people who were overwhelming hostile to the group's SOP.

And the kicker is that the post can't be removed, even after it successfully makes the group members avoid the stench. Only a jury can do that. So they come in an smear feces on the wall and tell all their friends to come take a look at their artwork.

But a Host can, no reason given at all, block a member when they post, even if they just say, 'Hi, how ya doing!' and the BSG and PU have done this at lot. Because they know what the other posts they've made are, or made a decision they are not real BSers. Which gives no room for a person to change their mind and become a BSer.

I think DU is going through the 2016 version of Operation Chaos started by Rush in 2008. It was designed to take down the front runner of the Democratic Party by attacking through the second closest candidate with faux support.

Then if that person becomes the front runner, they attack the one going down to create more ill feelings, purportedly from the 'losing' candidate's supporter. Whatever happens, it's done to spilt and demoralize the party.

I sense that is happening here with these clearly malignant and unDemocratic Party platform posts that attack the current front runner HRC by apparent BS supporters. If BS gets ahead, they'll attack as supposed HRC supporters.

They pushed lies about Hillary that were supposed to be from Obama people when she was ahead; then attacked Obama with lies supported to come from the HRC supposed supporters against Obama when he got ahead. This plan has already been promoted by GOP groups.

So these attacks on the mainstay of the Democratic Party, black people, especially females, is a strike at the MOST important voting block in the party. To turn people off from voting. And it's worked like a charm since 1972.

Why mess with success?
