I can't post in the Bernie group [View all] pnwmom Dec 2015 OP

Thank you for that. And yes, it was a beautiful moment. CaliforniaPeggy Dec 2015 #1

So you lead with "I can't post in the Bernie group" ibegurpard Dec 2015 #2

I wanted to post this in the Bernie group to increase the chance of Bernie people seeing it. pnwmom Dec 2015 #3

the point of your post ibegurpard Dec 2015 #5

You need to chill out. KMOD Dec 2015 #7

Wow ... the bunker mentality is getting really strong ... 1StrongBlackMan Dec 2015 #44

Yup. Agschmid Dec 2015 #49

No, it wasn't. earthside Dec 2015 #59

Passive/aggressive is EXACTLY what it was... good call. n/t cherokeeprogressive Dec 2015 #75

Like your sig line? Agschmid Dec 2015 #79

Come on, now. Sig lines have always been treated differently from the body of an OP. merrily Dec 2015 #92

Yes some people (from both sides) use them as a tool to instigate. Agschmid Dec 2015 #101

Not the point. The point is that sig lines have always been given more leeway that the body of an OP merrily Dec 2015 #103

Why? Agschmid Dec 2015 #104

Dunno why, but they have been. Maybe because they give the option to turn off sig lines? merrily Dec 2015 #107

Yah well they shouldn't be. Agschmid Dec 2015 #108

Again, point was that sig lines are given more leeway than the body of an OP. merrily Dec 2015 #109

I usually do avoid it. Agschmid Dec 2015 #110

I didn't realize my sig line was passive. I'll have to work on that. Thanks! cherokeeprogressive Dec 2015 #120

And name calling is just an aggressive attack. Agschmid Dec 2015 #78

Wow! What name was called? Hillarian? Jaysus. Bernie Bros, Bernistas, Sandernistas. merrily Dec 2015 #93

If suggest doing a search you'd find plenty. Agschmid Dec 2015 #100

I read a lot here almost every day. I recall seeing MANY of your posts, but not a one that is merrily Dec 2015 #102

Well to be fair I gave up on most of the substance lately, no point. Agschmid Dec 2015 #105

yep, much like the posts denying that are passive aggressive or outright aggressive. merrily Dec 2015 #87

Spot on. bvf Dec 2015 #25

I just wrote off the top of my head. I didn't expect the vitriol for a positive post. pnwmom Dec 2015 #9

It was a nice post Matariki Dec 2015 #13

P.S. I love how she is holding her Khumur together with a Bernie button. Fawke Em Dec 2015 #57

If the kids at that rally are the future of America senz Dec 2015 #115

it wasn't a positive post because you didn't mention what exactly happened JI7 Dec 2015 #20

I figured the Bernie people would know what I was talking about. pnwmom Dec 2015 #24

You lead with yourself not with the moment, the girl or Bernie. It's an OP about you. Bluenorthwest Dec 2015 #52

Vitriol! Oh, the pejorative hyperbole and drama! merrily Dec 2015 #94

of course you expected it ibegurpard Dec 2015 #125

A nice sentiment, thanks. I'm sure Bernie supporters saw it. Autumn Dec 2015 #45

This is new to me Omaha Steve Dec 2015 #71

I'm glad you saw it OS, it was a wonderful moment. Autumn Dec 2015 #73

Good thing there are no double standards at DU, right? merrily Dec 2015 #95

You led by complaining pointlessly about not being able to post in the Bernie Sanders Group. merrily Dec 2015 #82

I was stating a fact, not complaining. You hear what you want to hear. n/t pnwmom Dec 2015 #127

A fact that added absolutely nothing to your post but a complaint about the Sanders Group. merrily Dec 2015 #128

Since when does every single word in a post have to be gone over with a fine tooth comb? pnwmom Dec 2015 #130

LOL! I am light. I often LOL at disingenous bs. merrily Dec 2015 #131

nice to be able to rec one of ur threads questionseverything Dec 2015 #134

please stop. Matariki Dec 2015 #12

Yup. Agschmid Dec 2015 #80

The OP began with a whine about the Bernie Sanders Group that had no point or purpose. merrily Dec 2015 #96

it most certainly was not ibegurpard Dec 2015 #126

I am trying to understand your posts of late. artislife Dec 2015 #4

ROFL!! m-lekktor Dec 2015 #54

Sure! That's why she started this "positive" thread with an attack jeff47 Dec 2015 #69

... Skidmore Dec 2015 #70

That certainly has not been my experience of pwnmom. merrily Dec 2015 #76

Indeed... JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #81

I will say only that my experience differs greatly from what skidmore describes. merrily Dec 2015 #85

Is listing facts risking a hide now? Perhaps I should edit my post.. JonLeibowitz Dec 2015 #86

I have no idea what risks a hide, when running people off DU is a goal. merrily Dec 2015 #89

The one thing I can always be assured of is that Skidmore Dec 2015 #90

Again, your experience of pwnmom differs from mine. merrily Dec 2015 #91

Nor mine. notadmblnd Dec 2015 #135

We have had lovely exchanges artislife Dec 2015 #77

oh come on!! There is really no need for sarcasm Douglas Carpenter Dec 2015 #141

Who is being sarcastic? Skidmore Dec 2015 #143

Indeed it was. Thanks for pointing it out. eom Betty Karlson Dec 2015 #6

Oh, those no good, terrible, very bad people. OnyxCollie Dec 2015 #10

Some of you eat your own. KMOD Dec 2015 #11

I wouldn't call it "inability." n/t bvf Dec 2015 #27

Or ffs, that line could be ... 1StrongBlackMan Dec 2015 #46

Pnwmom needs to "edit"! She can't be intimating that she was blocked from BS group.. that needs to Cha Dec 2015 #17

i agree JI7 Dec 2015 #19

I disagree ... 1StrongBlackMan Dec 2015 #47

I was being sarcastic.. she doesn't really need to edit. Cha Dec 2015 #67

Thanks for posting the video pugetres Dec 2015 #28

Thanks for posting the video artislife Dec 2015 #83

We know what she was complimenting and we also know how she chose to start her OP. merrily Dec 2015 #97

It is the feint surprise that amuses. nt artislife Dec 2015 #119

Yes, um...amuses. Actually, it's not only the beginning of her OP, it's the title. merrily Dec 2015 #121

do you find the poster's priorities ibegurpard Dec 2015 #129

...gets slammed by Bernie fans anyway. workinclasszero Dec 2015 #65

If you want People to see that moment you should delete this thread JI7 Dec 2015 #18

I'm not going to encourage over-sensitivity. Sorry. n/t pnwmom Dec 2015 #23

yeah it's more important for you to get this passive aggressive dig against Bernie supporters in. m-lekktor Dec 2015 #48

yup ibegurpard Dec 2015 #133

So you just had to make that beautiful moment all about you instead of them. beam me up scottie Dec 2015 #21

She made it about how the Bernie Group blocked her (implied: unfairly). merrily Dec 2015 #98

I can't either. Because I said I would vote for the party nominee. McCamy Taylor Dec 2015 #22

Check the numbers of people Kentonio Dec 2015 #26

Actually there are fewer PROPORTIONATELY blocked from the Hillary group pnwmom Dec 2015 #40

If you want to talk true proportionality bvf Dec 2015 #41

The Hillary group is considerably smaller & less active yet has almost twice as many people blocked Kentonio Dec 2015 #66

These are the numbers for both groups. Autumn Dec 2015 #136

The hosts of the Sanders Group are much less likely to block than the hosts of the Hillary merrily Dec 2015 #137

I got blocked because a host said something untrue about me. I posted in my defense Autumn Dec 2015 #148

That stinks! Sounds as though that may have been alert-worthy merrily Dec 2015 #150

So there weren't enough Sander's supporters here R B Garr Dec 2015 #144

The group didn't exist until after he made his announcement he was running for Autumn Dec 2015 #147

The number of subscribers does nothing but bolster your point about there being a very high number Number23 Dec 2015 #138

What percentage of active posters are Sanders supporters. NCTraveler Dec 2015 #42

More intruders come into Hillary's group so we have more BLOCKed posters. I would never Cha Dec 2015 #32

That is not the only criteria for being blocked by the Hillary group. senz Dec 2015 #35

Enough of us have had experience with both groups to know that is bull puckies as to both groups. merrily Dec 2015 #99

That doesn't even make any sense. senz Dec 2015 #37

Very implausible, knowing how the hosts of the Bernie Sanders Group operate merrily Dec 2015 #112

Wow voting for the democratic nominee workinclasszero Dec 2015 #146

I can't post in the Hillary Group --- WAH! senz Dec 2015 #29

Yep. This isn't a positive op about Bernie, it's a slam against his supporters for banning her. beam me up scottie Dec 2015 #30

It would be more effective if the HRC group weren't banning MORE people senz Dec 2015 #33

That's what she wanted, to turn this into a thread about those AWFUL Bernie supporters. beam me up scottie Dec 2015 #34

Thanks, bmus. senz Dec 2015 #36

do you think she would have even posted about this event otherwise? nt m-lekktor Dec 2015 #56

So your goal is make the OP look silly... Agschmid Dec 2015 #51

I've told you before, Agschmid: Back off. senz Dec 2015 #114

Responding to a post is NOT harassment. Agschmid Dec 2015 #116

It was personal (it always is) and it was threatening. senz Dec 2015 #117
