A Quick Reminder for This Primary Season [View all] bravenak Nov 2015 OP

Now if we can stop seeing posts that ask if members will vote for the Nominee Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #1

It should be a given that we vote for the nominee. bravenak Nov 2015 #3

I also had trashed that forum, NurseJackie Nov 2015 #17

Same here. I forgot that they still show up. bravenak Nov 2015 #20

That's how I got banned from the Hillary group. I was responding to a post valerief Nov 2015 #57

I feel better now. Thanks. :-) NurseJackie Nov 2015 #73

No demerits. bravenak Nov 2015 #86

Thanks. :-) nt NurseJackie Nov 2015 #113

No one should ask, period. merrily Nov 2015 #81

Plenty of Bernie supporters make these statements unsolicited, no one is goading anyone Sheepshank Nov 2015 #19

An undolicited statement is the fault of whoever made it. Agnosticsherbet Nov 2015 #23

Yes, thank you. However, people are also perfectly capable of not replying--even though I was merrily Nov 2015 #80

An important repost, thanks. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2015 #2

I see it the same. bravenak Nov 2015 #5

Well, I've never advocated. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2015 #6

It is a grey area. bravenak Nov 2015 #8

It's not too hypothetical for a ban, so.... merrily Nov 2015 #78

Yeah. Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2015 #114

I had it wrong whatchamacallit Nov 2015 #15

I'm sorry but passiveporcupine Nov 2015 #84

'I'm sorry but' Erich Bloodaxe BSN Nov 2015 #115

I'm not saying you shouldn't be fighting for a progressive candidate passiveporcupine Nov 2015 #122

Kick. Agschmid Nov 2015 #4

Thanks, would you please add the link too? uppityperson Nov 2015 #7

Yes. bravenak Nov 2015 #9

from my read of it restorefreedom Nov 2015 #10

I agree. bravenak Nov 2015 #11

i have to say i have never used ignore or trash restorefreedom Nov 2015 #16

I have only started using ignore this week. Best thing ever. Seriously. bravenak Nov 2015 #50

wow...i hear that a lot..hmmmm might have to experiment. nt restorefreedom Nov 2015 #53

Ignore the worst from both sides? You do not see the drama. Nice. bravenak Nov 2015 #54

it could help my blood pressure too :) nt restorefreedom Nov 2015 #55

I've had "the pizza'd one" on Ignore for nearly a year. I couldn't stand BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #96

I see it has calmed down a bit. bravenak Nov 2015 #100

Considerably...although there are still a few pushing the limits as we speak. BlueCaliDem Nov 2015 #106

This post should be pinned. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #12

It very much should. I did not realize the extent of how the TOS is used myself. bravenak Nov 2015 #13

Yeah, this is a good timely clarification. JaneyVee Nov 2015 #14

Kick & recommended. William769 Nov 2015 #18

Great, brave! A Very Current Reminder that the Rules that have always been in place for the Cha Nov 2015 #25

I am feeling a bit relieved to have this clarified. bravenak Nov 2015 #47

Yes! And what a Glaring way to make it known there will be Zero tolerance for Cha Nov 2015 #94

Nice play on words! bravenak Nov 2015 #104

Grazie! Cha Nov 2015 #105

Fantastic post! Thanks for linking to that. onehandle Nov 2015 #26

Awseome! Glad we all know the rules now! bravenak Nov 2015 #49

Yeah, but do they actually mean it? luvspeas Nov 2015 #27

Yeah they mean it. Godhumor Nov 2015 #30

Sounds like you are not very happy here passiveporcupine Nov 2015 #82

WOW!!! You may want to delete this really awful attack on the admins. n/t JimDandy Nov 2015 #107

I think they mean it. bravenak Nov 2015 #42

The only people who need to take responsibility are Lil Missy Nov 2015 #108

A freakin' men Bleacher Creature Nov 2015 #28

Good clarification mcar Nov 2015 #29

I'll be supporting the nominee... MohRokTah Nov 2015 #31

I will be supporting the party's nominee no matter who it is Gothmog Nov 2015 #99

Yes! workinclasszero Nov 2015 #116

Excellent reminder, Bravenak. sheshe2 Nov 2015 #32

You are welcome. I hope we all can be reasonable now. bravenak Nov 2015 #41

...so everybody unclench. Iggo Nov 2015 #33

I think the admins mean it. Remember L0oniX? progree Nov 2015 #35

He also said "not every member of your coalition will be your ideological soulmate" Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #36

Then perhaps those that feel that things will be in shambles if their candidate does not win the bravenak Nov 2015 #38

Oh, i think a lot of people should take note. Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #43

I was not here in 2011. I do not know what you mean by this. bravenak Nov 2015 #46

I didn't mean you. Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #67

Ahhh! bravenak Nov 2015 #68

I'm not talking about 'the purge', either. Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #95

He's talking about the History of Feminism members and I believe iverglas being banned in 2011 seaglass Nov 2015 #118

Good God. bravenak Nov 2015 #119

My, that is convoluted BainsBane Nov 2015 #125

Perhaps everyone should take note. merrily Nov 2015 #87

I think the Loonix ban was a bad one because the OP specifically said the pledge was ... aikoaiko Nov 2015 #37

Perhaps there will be an amnesty period after the primary. bravenak Nov 2015 #39

Im gonna misss that little bug he had crawling on his posts. Warren DeMontague Nov 2015 #40

I swatted my screen for half a thread before I caught on. polly7 Nov 2015 #48

Dibs on the bug gif. aikoaiko Nov 2015 #52

L0onix said nothing. The entire post was copied and pasted from another website, with a link. merrily Nov 2015 #88

Yep. It was a bad ban. aikoaiko Nov 2015 #90

On the plus side, LOonix still has a 60% chance of serving on a jury. Star member 9 years, merrily Nov 2015 #91

I have a question... Chitown Kev Nov 2015 #44

I think that is an offense that may be given a bit of leeway, especially if made in frustration. bravenak Nov 2015 #51

I have no issues with Skinner's post. blackspade Nov 2015 #56

Yes. We need those seats more than we need to please ourselves. bravenak Nov 2015 #58

Blech. blackspade Nov 2015 #59

Scalia makes me sick too!!! bravenak Nov 2015 #60

The way I read the TOS going back to the spring, it's okay to talk about who or how.... George II Nov 2015 #62

I think the advocation for a third party run is the issue we had today. bravenak Nov 2015 #63

Yes, that's what the issue was today. Voting "third party" would happen after the primaries.... George II Nov 2015 #65

Maybe this will help the atmosphere? bravenak Nov 2015 #72

All I will say is I hope that... one_voice Nov 2015 #66

Me too. Or Jim Webb. Don't want him. bravenak Nov 2015 #69

Some people here are in the wrong business TSIAS Nov 2015 #70

This was from Skinner, today. bravenak Nov 2015 #71

You said it much better than I could davidpdx Nov 2015 #111

I tried to warn this person yesterday, but now whoever it was is tombstoned. valerief Nov 2015 #74

You did what you could. Some will just not listen to reason. bravenak Nov 2015 #75

Thanks for that clear information. F4lconF16 Nov 2015 #77

I think it is okay to post. bravenak Nov 2015 #79

I only advocate against certain Democrats. F4lconF16 Nov 2015 #89

It should be during primary season. bravenak Nov 2015 #93

I am happy to see that, since the reason I don't visit here often is there is not much support for Todays_Illusion Nov 2015 #83

Things have been like this for awhile. bravenak Nov 2015 #92

K&R! betsuni Nov 2015 #97

Thanks for posting Gothmog Nov 2015 #98

No prob. bravenak Nov 2015 #101

I saw the thread in question, Jamaal510 Nov 2015 #102

The admins are feeling kind today for sure. bravenak Nov 2015 #103

The ToS page is hilarious if you look at how different it reads from other forum's ToS ffr Nov 2015 #109

So just to clarify Bravenak.. Kentonio Nov 2015 #112

How dare you!!!! Iggo Nov 2015 #117

Read my sigline. bravenak Nov 2015 #120

So you'll happily vote for him if he's the nominee? Kentonio Nov 2015 #121

Wow, is that avatar ever a blast from the past for someone here less than a month. What a find! nt Hekate Nov 2015 #124
