When you have 20 folks all from one candidate given timeouts, many of whom have never had hides before let alone timeouts, it begins to get suspicious. When you do the numbers and see that this candidates supporters are only 15% of DU and you see large amounts of timeouts, you begin to suspect alert stalking.
And when few if any of the 85% of DU that support the other candidate are given timeouts, instead of the 80 that would be proportional, you know that there is something wrong here.
And then it gets REALLY ugly when it becomes known that the vast majority of the 20 folks who have received timeouts are women or people of color or LGBT. I think two of the 20 are straight white males.
There is a marked difference in what a Bernie supporter here has to do to get a hidden post vs a Hillary supporter. I can provide examples. Heck if you are that unconvinced, I can post the exact post a Bernie supporter just got away with with a 6-1 vote by jury to keep and I will show you I will get a 6-1 vote to hide for that same post. It's that lopsided here right now.
