(297,123 posts)110. Brilliant, MrScorpio.. Thank you so much for deconstructing this with such detailed analysis.
"If anything, these sentences show how much the writer is invested in Bernie. To him, no true supporter of Sanders would EVER question his positions on any matter at all, much less anything about race and coming from a mere black woman. The fact that she did dare to question Bernie meant that she deserved to be harshly punished for it. He's demonstrating his sense of righteous indignation fulfilled, even somewhat insufficiently in his own opinion.
He's expressing his own raw sense of anger and righteous indignation. He also made sure to notify Bravenak that he was paying close attention to how she was treated for her apparent offense. This would imply that he had a direct role in alerting on her posts. He didn't admit it, but he has been monitoring her. Who other than a DUer would maintain such close accounting on the inner workings of the site?"

Yeah, Mr Citizen would have given her 10 Hides.. or More! that would teach her to state she "really likes Bernie.." Actually Brave was a BS supporter before #BlackLivesMatter Protested #Net Root Nation. Before, so many online BS supporters started hurling abusive insults, and throwing out ignorant CT on those #BLM activists, who had the audacity to protest and question Sanders. I saw the posts supporting Bernie.
Mr Citizen could have done a research on that except his "fragility" got in the way.. he'd rather call "bullshit" to make his stupid point of "how dare she!!!"
Of course, the writer of this letter who calls himself, "Mr Citizen" had been "monitoring" bravenak.. IOW stalking her and alerting on her posts that he deemed unfit for consumption regarding his "precious Bernie".
"If anything, these sentences show how much the writer is invested in Bernie. To him, no true supporter of Sanders would EVER question his positions on any matter at all, much less anything about race and coming from a mere black woman..
We've seen it time and time again on this board.. no one is allowed to question Bernie sanders on anything. That's the tenor of most of the board and that's definitely the threat in the letter.
And, sadly it's even less so for Bravenak, 1StrongBlackMan, and all the other important Black Voices on here who question their candidate.

I'm not convinced, either. My very first thought when I read it was that it was a woman. nt

I'd bet that the writer of this letter could be identified with reasonable certainty.

Thank you for your excellent analysis. I agree that it IS a Duer, but not that it's a male.
