(15,438 posts)surprised he's still here. But these non-Dems spouting nasty attacks on Democrats and DUers who are real Democrats have translated "Democratic" in the name of this site to small "d" democratic, and that's enough for them.
And I guess the site owners are okay with that. There's nothing we can do other than not respond to them. It's what I do. Ignore them. Say your piece and when you get snark, move on. They're not worth your time or trouble. Can't talk to a brick wall, Sparkly. I'm sorry, though, that they've come after you.
Let us be clear. Hillary Clinton is a diehard Democrat. Sanders is a diehard DINO and cares about nothing else but self-aggrandizement. I'm a Democrat. I will vote Democratic and for Democrats. Because elections are bigger than my pet peeves and purity-scales. It's about the country and the people who aren't as fortunate as we are. Democrat John F. Kennedy once espoused, "a rising tide lifts ALL boats." I firmly believe that.
In a winner-take-all system like we have, you have to pick a side. Best to pick the side closest to your beliefs, and remind oneself, nobody and nothing is perfect.
Sparkly
(24,149 posts)I'm such an idiot, here crying my eyes out.
I was on boards such as they were in 2000, then came here in 2004 as a "Clarkie" only after he dropped out (hearing it was hostile here), then came on board for Kerry and fought the Kucinich puritans... And I stayed away for awhile when it seemed things were going the Democrats' way.
I agree with you 100% -- Never voted other than Democrat and doubt I ever will. (Pres. Clinton also referenced the rising tide lifting all boats -- and we've seen it.)
I guess I just thought DU was still a place where discussion boards were discussion boards. I posted in GD, not GDP -- about a specific issue -- and got hit with this crazy thing about Hillary Clinton and Gaddafi?!??
This is nuts. This is no longer a place for Democrats. I have no idea what Skinner is doing anymore.
BlueCaliDem
(15,438 posts)You're not an idiot! Never allow yourself to think that way. THEY are. They're PAID internet trolls, selling out this country for a few bucks.
BS' campaign has spent well over $16 million dollars for attack dogs on social media who are being paid to post favorable things about BS. These armchair warriors are given scripts to go to Twitter, FB pages, progressive and liberal sites like this one, and their job is to convince people that BS is good for the country, good for us, and good for the cosmos. They do this via the Revolution Messaging service that helped President Obama with fundraising and getting his message out, and was positive and hugely successful. BS is using them to do the exact opposite of positive. They're as nasty as he is.
Revolution Messaging boasts that they've made BS haul in record fundraising records, and he has. He's apparently their number one client at that moment. So please keep in mind when you find new members on DU, Twitter, FB - like the one who's been responding to you - these are all PAID trolls and give them as much credence as you would a RWer.
I hope this information will make you feel better.

(11,495 posts)It's not hard to spot them, but the big problem is they have been "accepted" by our local anti Obama, anti Hillary, and anti Democrat gang. The same hater who have been here since Obama was elected, and who started in on their hate fest. Sadly it looks like they have taken over DU, and there doesn't seem to be anything we can do about it.

(51,726 posts)I fall apart when my 12 year old gets the flu. How you are dealing with your tragedy is beyond me. DU used to be a progressive community where you could find support for your pain, whatever it happened to be.
But not any more.
The callousness of the partisan idiocy on this site has reached levels I never thought it would.
I wish you strength. I don't know what else to say.
Sparkly
(24,149 posts)the "you're for Clinton so you're all holier than thou and think you know who we are" was just too much.
Really upset me.
Thank you so much for your words.
I am not sure how to take back my post in GD so they can't forever haunt me with it.

Sparkly
(24,149 posts)I read some things on GDP, not having been visiting DU for awhile, and posted on this group that I am so glad you are here!
But I suppose I got overconfident in thinking the GD board was safe territory.
There should be a place just for sane people apart from whatever DU is now. Is there?

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
The OP, Sparkly, was talking about an SNL skit that was offensive. The thread was immediately hijacked by revbones and TM99 who both extensively harassed the OP even when she disclosed that her own child is a heroin addict. TM99 is laying this behavior strictly on Sparkly's avatar that reveals she is a Hillary supporter. If I am able to I will alert on revbones as well for these attacks. This is unconscionable.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 17, 2016, 12:28 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Leave it as an example of the pot calling the kettle black.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I cannot even believe the ugliness of BS fans who continue to Project everything that's egregious about themselves onto Hillary's supporters. Simply because they don't bow @ the altar of berniesanders.
Please Hide! This will be going to Skinner one way or the other. How the hell does this poster think he has the right to talk to someone like this on DU?
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: uncessary rudeness.
This isn't FR, we have standards.
.................................................................................................................
Sorry, juror#1 is ignorant.. they can still see the post when you hide it! And, it lets the board know you don't approve of the ugly insults that does say everything about the poster and nothing about their target.
In fact it's paid more Attention when it's a Hidden post.

(9,904 posts)DU was in the early days more nurturing, no blame, times have changed, the push for us to be at each other's throats has turned into a run away train of never ending reality show drama...
I hope you realize you are in no way responsible for what has happened to your daughter, all you as a parent can do is take it on a day by day basis...
My sister in law told me though that once an addict, always an addict, but one can learn tools to help control the addiction...
Sparkly
(24,149 posts)I go to meetings and have support, and right now things are stable.
I just meant to raise consciousness about the issue and how it's treated in popular media. I had no IDEA what I was getting into in attempting to discuss anything on DU!
I remember DU after MWO folded (remember them?). It was contentious in the "politics" and "primary" forums, but it's become nuts. I can only think a lot of cave-dwellers have ratcheted up the fury on purpose.
Thanks so much for your reply.
AuntPatsy
(9,904 posts)Support is key, support for you, the simple truth is if you don't focus on your life, you will just become another statistic, I sympathize I do, well aware of the pain and heartbreak that occurs especially when someone you love at present is not trustworthy enough to let them know you would move heaven and earth to assist them, such becomes thier crutch..
Hererion abuse is rising fast, the idiot politicians once again not caring about actually truths have encouraged people to find cheaper and easier drugs then pain meds....
I was told once, not sure if it's true, that if you try it once and like it, forget trying to stop, all you can do is try not to ever touch it or if you do, hope you hate the feeling...
Humanity's dirty little secret, for the majority of people world wide, unless it touches them, it matters as an after thought meant to be filed away under, I'll think about it later when I have time...
It's why our jails are over crowded and oh so profitable, taboo subjects became cash machines for a select few..

Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin
(108,234 posts)Likewise that was the site which directed me to DU.
I've been a member since 2003 during the buildup to the Iraq invasion. It was a whole different place back then. Even the 2004 primary was not as divisive as this one is.
A lot of the vitriol started after Obama was elected. Either they were emoprogs who felt Obama wasn't doing enough or Republican sock puppets. It's reached a crescendo today as your linked to post shows.

(1,630 posts)The pain of watching someone you love in the grip of addiction is unbearable. I know what you are going through (and I bet many others do as well) and I just want you to know you are not alone. If you ever need to talk or get help in any way, there are so many loving people here for you. The Hill peeps have your back. I'm sorry that something that was supposed to take your mind off your troubles made you feel bad and that sharing about it brought the lunatics out of the shadows.
You know what the good news is? You have a heart and courage and that comes through. Don't share your sincerity or goodness or pain with them. They are literally bad people with dark hearts. Stay in the light and where it is warm and people are kind. With us!

(1,580 posts)seen smoke coming out of my ears! My thoughts about the SNL skit mirrored yours. For God's sake, why would they think this is funny or okay? I wonder if my friend, whose son is a heroin addict, saw it. Bet she didn't see any humor in it. I'm sorry you were treated like that. Those people that posted that crap were pushing their own agenda, and intentionally missing your point.

(16,878 posts)Sparkly, I hope you saw my reply in the thread where I attempted to apologize for the disgusting treatment you received. Again, I apologize, and, again, my heart goes out to you.

Too many are not that lucky.
Sparkly

Mail Message
On Sun Apr 17, 2016, 01:39 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
She probably laughed before casting her vote in favor of the Iraq war too.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7762718
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Part of the pile-on against the OP, who posted about a personal reaction to SNL, solely because the OP now uses a Hillary avatar -- as has been explicitly stated by some of the attackers. Even after letting it be known that the OP's own kid suffers from heroin addiction, the allegations of hypocrisy continue because (and this beggars logic) Hillary sanctioned the death of Gaddaffi and voted for the Iraq War.
JURY RESULTS
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 17, 2016, 01:56 AM, and the Jury voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alert abuse. A post about Hillary is about Hillary, not about the OP.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The post adds unnecessary hurt and inflames the discussion without adding information or value.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The whole thread needs to be trashed. The "stuff" storm here needs to stop.
No hide.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This post is part of a political dogpile on someone about a non-political joke that offended them in a non-political manner and posted in a non-political forum group (GD) just because Hillary is on her avatar. This is abuse and should be hidden.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It is inappropriate and certainly rude, as well as insensitive and over-the-top, not to mention disruptive.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Hide. NOT relevant to the OP, and pretty nasty under the circumstances. This is General Discussion, not GDP.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(90,829 posts)I alerted on three poster-hijackers in that thread: TM99, revbones, and Bubzer. My first alert was rejected, but someone else got him, and the other two were successful.
I was afraid that Sparkly would get dinged for telling them to fuck off, which in my opinion was a justifiable response on her part under the circs. I'm sorry that indeed happened.
The people who piled on that way should be ashamed of themselves, but they are incapable of shame at this point. DU itself should be ashamed.
JURY: If someone complains this is Meta, please refer to the link in the post I am replying to. This is an extreme circumstance.

I don't understand how a jury let that stand.
A friend of mine just lost her second son to heroin. My heart breaks for her and for you.
brer cat
(24,615 posts)Sparkly, I am so sorry this was dumped on you! There is no excuse for this crude behavior or the diversion of your heartfelt thread into gutter politics. Once upon a time, you would have found empathy, and your thread would have generated a thoughtful discussion of the appropriateness of satire and humor in various situations. I don't know if that DU will ever return, but you do have many people here who care about you and your family.

(15,445 posts)Here's the note I left for you in that thread:
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027762586#post94
"Needy friends" are not their concern. They deal in broad movements and great "revolutions".
To hell with personal pain. Compassion will not advance the cause. On the contrary, it only demonstrates wavering weakness. Anarchists and insurgents understand this verity and live by it.
They show no mercy and take no prisoners. Only a scorched earth strategy will win their latter day revolution.
I'm so sorry you've been subjected to this unwarranted onslaught. Some people need to go back to "humanity" school. First, be a human, and only then propound your political dogma.
MarianJack

I only go into my groups (Hillary, cooking and pets) anymore. The rest is Bernie Underground.

stick around til after the primaries but if there's still people here who would rather have a Repug in the White House than Hillary, I'm outta here.
HillareeeHillaraah
(685 posts)...hope I'm not reopening a wound this a.m. But I felt compelled to add my voice in solidarity.
I've been a reader here for years and only recently got into the mix by posting some thoughts. It is startling to see how camp sanders goes from zero to outrage in a matter of a post or two. The other day I found myself tearing up over just how vitriolic Sanders' side has become. Seems it's gotten worse as he's getting closer to losing.
But I've been reminded while reading through some calming words of those whose posts are in the thousands that MANY are here to stir up the animosity between democrats. Professional posters who will just keep poking until civil discourse is shut down and we all hate each other and hopefully won't vote at all...
When I remember that's their goal, I do my best to take that power away from them. I disengage, I refrain from snarking back (hard to do!), I give them as little ammunition as possible. For me, that technique helps.
I also try to remember that no amount of logic or facts or appeal for basic human empathy will change minds around here any more.
It's gone past silly season into are-you-freaking-kidding-me season. Case in point, yesterday I alerted on a post that was saying in their cleverest way that Trumad was schtuping a Great Dane. Not even slurs of beastiality against a fellow DUer gets hidden if it's Camp Sanders doing the slurring.
On Sat Apr 16, 2016, 03:43 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Apr 16, 2016, 03:54 PM, and voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Not hiding for "balls deep in a Great Dane," though that is pretty revolting. Hiding for the content of the entire post, which is piss-poor writing of a sophomoric attempt to insult. Not clever, not necessary.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: As far as I can decipher, this appears to be a rude and insulting post, nested inside a generally insulting thread. So I am guessing it is appropriate to hide.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just mad random riffery comparing the worst of GD with FR People need to develop a thicker hide Unless it is directed at a DUer as an ad hominem attack it's just nutty prose poetry
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

I'm so sorry they put you through that experience last night. They didn't deserve to know your pain as they saw it as something to mock. Hang on til Tuesday. That's my mantra these days. And again, hope this hasn't caused yesterday's anger to resurface. Peace.

Fact of the matter is---DU has become infested with trolls hiding as BS supporters. Really simple for them to do.

We only have a month left of this shit---and when Hillary wins the nomination---the trolls won't be able to hide anymore.

I have been here since DU began and have never used the ignore feature until now, but there are several people who showed their asses in that thread whose opinions on any matter are meaningless to me. I will not be subjected to their ignorant and hateful rants again and I hope you will not either.
Take care, Sparkly.
