24. Not all in plain view
Tue Sep 29, 2015, 12:21 AM
Sep 2015

They just closed one of the forums over there to members only (the political pub). They can have all the private little conversations they want now without anyone who isn't a member reading it. Seriously...are you folks adults?

I guess they must be a little bit embarrassed about some of the things they have to say. They can't say it openly here, and now they can't say it openly there, because they don't want anyone here to be able to see it (because it really does not look very good).

I think this is hysterical.

I've seen board melt downs and splits before and it is pretty funny how juvenile some people get in the process of this happening.

I do hope, sincerely, that they get their emotions in control and some, at least, of them come back here.

You see, in spite of what they want, the democratic party really is a big tent, and we can accommodate a lot of different view points. So come on back, after you have finished your tantrums. Nobody is kicking you out here.
