89. Really? Well, I respect your right to attempt a positive thread about a departed Sanders supporter

in the Sanders group.

No one has to post anything at all on an appreciation thread in the Sanders Group. If they feel they must, they should keep it neutral or positive. They can express negative sentiments elsewhere. There were certainly enough of those in other forums, and what is to be gained by it anyway? Yet another kick at someone who got banned and can't defend himself? This thread is not the place for that. JMO.
