178. We only see SOP alerts - Group Host

Wed Nov 11, 2015, 06:03 AM

Nov 2015

Number23 and I are both group hosts.

We received one last week and this is my notification to the group:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1187&pid=31319
Now read the OP at that thread.

The person who sent the alert?

1. Blocked from this group this past summer.
2. Strong Sanders supporter
3. Favorite Group - Sanders

I've not received one SOP alert from an HRC supporter.

Since "some people say" isn't Good Enough for you -

Two Group Hosts have just told you - You Are Wrong And Don't Know What You Are Talking About.

Good day sir! I said - GOOD DAY and stop disrupting the group. I did not publicly shame the person who sent the alert.

One more post and I'm blocking you. This is your first and second warning. you are bringing shame on this protected group.

Bravenak's OP "Eight Things Bernie Sanders' Supporters Need to Stop Saying to Black People" hidden. [View all] betsuni Nov 2015 OP

I am a Bernie Sandernista. I also think there needs to be an intervention to stop what is.... marble falls Nov 2015 #1

It's too damned late for Bernie and his supporters to connect with POC I think. upaloopa Nov 2015 #2

Totally makes sense Gore1FL Nov 2015 #57

DU has little effect on anything I think ismnotwasm Nov 2015 #117

Doubt it. I don't think "minorities" are the thin-skinned shallow idiots you think them to be. n/t Gore1FL Nov 2015 #163

You are really confused by this conversation aren't you? Most people when clearly over their Number23 Nov 2015 #214

Problem is bigger than DU.. this behavior is all over the net and it's been noticed by so many Cha Nov 2015 #166

If you say so. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #186

i've noticed this re-packaged DU:Bernie narrative ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #188

Not my narrative. Cha said that the entire comunity was swayed by mean people Gore1FL Nov 2015 #192

So the "research" point just fell upon the screen? ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #194

I think members of the African American community are able to research the candidates. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #198

I have spoken to that (re-packaged) "research" B.S., ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #200

Self-described is an insult? Your handle self describes you as 1strongblackman! Gore1FL Nov 2015 #204

Sighhh ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #205

Not at all. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #206

It makes me feel nothing. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #207

Understood. sheshe2 Nov 2015 #218

Don't put words in my mouth. I think African Americans are as dedicated and passionate.. Cha Nov 2015 #189

I thought you implied that the community was swayed by harsh wordsa and not facts. Gore1FL Nov 2015 #191

Get a grip.. I'm not insulting African Americans. Cha Nov 2015 #193

At least not intentionally, I suppose. n/t Gore1FL Nov 2015 #197

Ha.. now you're on to the innuendoes. Cha Nov 2015 #199

Ha! Gore1FL Nov 2015 #203

Could you please take your intrusion and willful distortions of what is very clearly being said Number23 Nov 2015 #211

Your inability to understand something does not make it a willfull distortion Number23 Nov 2015 #213

Wow, thank you so much, Number23! I misread his post in the first place or I never would Cha Nov 2015 #217

The sad irony is I tried to warn them from day one and got shouted down... Blue_Tires Nov 2015 #121

Bravenak did the same. And all she got for her efforts was the Wrath of Simpletons Number23 Nov 2015 #122

You sure did tell me! bravenak Nov 2015 #128

And I also told you about some of those folks you were running around with last year too Number23 Nov 2015 #133

Hee hee!!! bravenak Nov 2015 #134

All she has to do is STOP speaking her truth and (a segment of) DU will leave her alone ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #6

Yeah, but I want her here AND I want her speaking truth even when I disagree. She's one person... marble falls Nov 2015 #7

Absolutely. I'm so sick of this garbage. SusanCalvin Nov 2015 #149

3 of my past 5 juries have been on her Recursion Nov 2015 #12

I'm doing almost a jury a day and at least 80% seem personal. I've never been on a Bravenak jury.... marble falls Nov 2015 #16

I'm also on a jury nearly every day (very unusual). betsuni Nov 2015 #19

Yes, and many also target Bernie supporters for utterly trivial reasons. Alerting is being used peacebird Nov 2015 #72

I suspect ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #82

Been on a few of those juries, and they seem to equal in number those on HRC supporters... marble falls Nov 2015 #89

A few of the alerters I suspect have very high posting numbers. marble falls Nov 2015 #153

Oh ... I'm certain of it. n/t 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #154

And >75% of my juries in the last 3 months have been on Sanders supporters jeff47 Nov 2015 #76

I'm so sure ... 1StrongBlackMan Nov 2015 #93

I've long supported more transparency in the jury system jeff47 Nov 2015 #96

can you link me to the hide randys1 Nov 2015 #102

I keep hearing the "both sides do it" argument but Hillary supporters are not hunting the AA forum Number23 Nov 2015 #123

They're busy hunting the Sanders forum. jeff47 Nov 2015 #125

The hosts only see SOP alerts not alerts on disruptive posts Number23 Nov 2015 #127

Added this while you were replying jeff47 Nov 2015 #129

I have no idea what your post is supposed to mean or why in God's name you think Saddam's Number23 Nov 2015 #131

There were lots and lots of stories making that claim. Did that make it true? jeff47 Nov 2015 #142

Who would lead such an intervention? brer cat Nov 2015 #26
