Irony Alert: I got an alert & hide in the Hillary Clinton group for talking about the alert stalking

155. It depends on how you define alert stalking

I don't think there are one or two people who are here to disrupt by stalking. And I think that's what he's saying. No one is here just alerting like crazy, and when he looks at alerts, they aren't all by one or two people - they're by a bunch of people.

The problem I see is that we have a huge majority of Sanders supporters, and a reasonable number of them are really intense, and are quick to swarm on anything that might be even just slightly critical. It isn't exactly stalking I don't think. It's more just a numbers game. There are so many people who will alert on anything even slightly criticial of Sanders, and who probably know who are BLM supporters - or can at least guess if they know the posters to be black - and that large number of people has a great deal of power, simply due to their numbers. There's a good chance there will be enough of them on an alert to score a hide. And there are enough of them hiding in the first place.

Now, on the other hand, I have seen some similar stuff from some Clinton supporters. There just aren't enough to have this big of an effect. I think it's largely about numbers.
