before I got locked out.

There is only one factual error. Everything else is accurate. To discount something like this just because of one error is not going to serve us well.

Yes, it is only a silly meme from Tumblr. Yes, it is not 100% (probably about 92%) accurate. I and others have addressed that here and in the other thread.

I agree with the banning of MaggieD because they do not argue or debate with facts. Coming into a Safe Haven and just stating that something is BS with nothing to back it up is just trolling a Safe Haven.

Being 'too positive' can be a liability and a weakness. Sanders does not run negative attack ads. That does not mean that he does not, has not, or would not passionate argue with those who are harming this country and its citizens. He comes out swinging frequently BUT he always has facts, well reasoned arguments, and congruent consistency has his foundation. That is positive and strong.

Welcome to DU! tblue May 2015 #20

Thanks! Glad to be here! CharlotteVale May 2015 #55

DU does have a limit on how many times one can alert, no? I can't believe this was put on alert. C Moon May 2015 #34

No limits. pintobean May 2015 #58

DU should consider limiting alerting if the jury consistantly finds the alerts wrong. C Moon May 2015 #98

You've been asked several times to stop trolling this group. smokey nj May 2015 #19

Is it trolling to point out when something is factually incorrect? Agschmid May 2015 #23

Well, I almost clydefrand May 2015 #12

This chart is BS MaggieD May 2015 #14

Good for you that you don't have to post links to the facts. L0oniX May 2015 #22

You re-posted a meme from Tumblr... Agschmid May 2015 #24

It's a meme post about Bernie's positions. You are assuming that I posted it as an attack. L0oniX May 2015 #27

Is the meme 100% accurate? Agschmid May 2015 #28

About Bernie over many years ...yes. L0oniX May 2015 #29

Sure I agree about that part. Agschmid May 2015 #30

I noted room for error. L0oniX May 2015 #31

I think it's disruptive to post something you know isn't true. Agschmid May 2015 #37

I didn't ban anyone over this. Did you alert on it? L0oniX May 2015 #41

Someone is now banned, you are a host. Agschmid May 2015 #42

This is not the first time around for that person. L0oniX May 2015 #44

Was that person correct though? Agschmid May 2015 #45

This was covered in post 38. L0oniX May 2015 #46

So as a group we banned someone because they pointed out we posted something... Agschmid May 2015 #47

It's one thing to discuss it and another thing to pop in here and just say it's BS. L0oniX May 2015 #49

Yes I also linked to that post. Agschmid May 2015 #51

I seriously doubt that was the reason for banning that one hootinholler May 2015 #65

Of course! MissDeeds May 2015 #94

Oh NO, aspirant May 2015 #71

Sorry, I thought you were a Hillary supporter ... aggiesal May 2015 #61

The only reason I call it tearing down is because it's not factually accurate. Agschmid May 2015 #63

I think a lot of DU'ers would appreciate that, myself included ... aggiesal May 2015 #64

"Even if it's 100% accurate, they will claim it as negative propaganda." Well L0oniX May 2015 #72

Except again what was posted (in its current form) isn't accurate. Agschmid May 2015 #75

It appears to be 15.5/17ths accurate or so. 91% or thereabouts. Erich Bloodaxe BSN May 2015 #86

Look foolish? Get real. Every Hillary supporter already thinks we look foolish. L0oniX May 2015 #87

I don't think we have to "play dirty". Agschmid May 2015 #88

You know the money side is going to play dirty and smear Bernie. L0oniX May 2015 #89

Again I mostly agree I just don't see playing dirty as the answer to dirty tactics. Agschmid May 2015 #91

I got locked out of that thread TM99 May 2015 #92
