see how that some might think that's creepy. But I always appreciated your attempts. I do hope you see how inappropriate it is to alert on an OP for being disruptive and then posting in the thread.

There is no rule of which I am aware that prohibits posting by someone who has made an SOP alert on an OP. I find it odd that a host would chastise a DUer for doing so. Is that standard hosting practice these days?

You needn't answer of course.

If you're wrong, you invite derision.

If you're right, you sow dissension.

Why not let the Hillary supporters come to their own conclusions, in their own time? It's always better to welcome someone than demand their attendance.

If you felt alienated by that shit (and I certainly did), then perhaps you can see how it would be counterproductive for us to indulge in it.

Jan 2016

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a classic example of a flamebait thread. It doesn't add any discussion to the forum other than trying to stir up a flame war.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Tue Jan 26, 2016, 02:31 PM, and voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: it's a stupid post. let the stupid be seen.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: alerter exercise some self control and ignore it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: That's what "hide thread" is for.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: OW! not. but hillain't the enemy. the GOP is. TINKLE DOWN IS ENDING!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Prophecies and auguries commanding others to embrace with a Borg-like acceptance an opposition candidate is not simply stupid and juvenile, it's also not a great way to stump for your own candidate. Alerter is correct-- it's simply flame-bait and adds nothing of substance at all.

Feel the Borg.

I was on the jury to keep this, but I think I'll take my own advice and trash the thread. It does not advance the discussion at all.

Try saying why you think Bernie is a better candidate.

I don't even intend on voting for the oligarchy's chosen paladin, and this is just in ill taste. The time for celebration ain't here yet. And should the oligarchs have their way, we're gonna be fighting this kind of horseshit for a lot longer.
