1. Miss you!

[MissDeeds]

2. One of the best ever!

Hey, BMUS

[virtualobserver]

3. I second that emotion.

[dorkzilla]

4. We love you BMUS!!!!!

Hurry back or I will start whiiiiiiiiinnnnnniiiiiiiing and you know how annoying I am when I start whhiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnnnnnniiiiiiiiiiiiinnnnnnnnng.

Wine-ing, however, is what I will be doing when you either return from exile here or at you-know-where!

[Lordquinton]

5. FREE BMUS!

The site is missing something...

[surrealAmerican]

6. We miss you "beam me up" ...

... and eagerly await your return.

[roguevalley]

7. oh god. Come back. This place isn't good without your cheery self. HUGS!

[rhett o rick]

8. What happened?

[Bubzer]

9. She got Flagged for Review

[rhett o rick]

10. I knew she was being targeted. You can look at what got hidden from her transperancy

page. Bullshit hides. Looks like they are restricting the jury pools to eliminate progressives and alert stalking to get people out.

How do you know she got "flagged"?

[Bubzer]

11. It shows it on her account.

Account status: Flagged for review.
Or do you mean how did I personally find out?
If so, I learned about it here: http://www.democraticunderground.com/1280177542

[restorefreedom]

13. now that you mention it.....

i havent been on a jury in quite some time. i used to be asked constantly

definite deck stacking

[dorkzilla]

15. Holy shit, you're right!

I haven't been on a jury in quite a while too!

How do you stack a jury here?

[dorkzilla]

18. I thought they were random as well

Okay, see you at JPR!

[restorefreedom]

19. :) nt

[Duckhunter935]

26. I have been called a lot less

[restorefreedom]

27. hmmmmm methinks i smell a concerted effort

to stack juries with hillary supporters. it explains why some of us have not been on in a while and why some of us after being here for years never hidden are suddenly getting bullshit hides and why bmus and others are being targeted.

emulating their corrupt candidate. how touching.

[Bubzer]

30. It's kinda amusing when you think about it... voter suppression at the ballot box...

and now voter suppression here. I guess it wasn't too much of a stretch.

Course, by amusing, I mean in that way where you either laugh or grit your teeth in frustration.

[restorefreedom]

31. yup. laugh or cry.

still hoping we will be the ones smiling after he passes her pd in california

[cui bono]

38. They know how... someone named Chae posted about "our juries" over at the Clinton Cave.

But they get the rules changed to allow them to spew and get up to 15 hides.



.

[surrealAmerican]

21. If you have had posts hidden ...

... it reduces the chance you will be selected for juries.

Check your profile, and click "explain" where it gives your percentage chance of serving on juries.

[restorefreedom]

24. crap i checked

it used to be 60 now its 20

although i know i haven't been on a jury for a while and both hides were this week, so something still smells.

[rhett o rick]

36. My percentage is 80% but I still never get selected. nm

[Mbrow]

12. K&R

[ms liberty]

14. I hate what DU has become, and I knew it would be like this

This in part is why I didn't want Hillary to even run. This is 08 on steroids. Those hides that BMUS got were pathetic; she was obviously targeted.

[rhett o rick]

16. Now Skinner said that if you don't behave voting on juryies you will lose your jury "priviledges".

Seems that only applies to Sanders supporters.

[Bubzer]

29. Yup... it's the new slick-willie ploy.

Disclaimer: This was posted in the Bernie Sanders group

[jillan]

20. Hope you get to hurry back soon! I miss you!!

[Punkingal]

22. I added the kitty, but I will take it down when BMUS gets back.

It's so her....I don't want to steal it.

[Bubzer]

23. I kinda want to steal it.... but I'd happily give it up to have her come back!

[Jokerman]

42. +1

[Donkees]

25. BEAM BACK SOON!

[Segami]

54. +10000

Bring back BMUS!!....

[Scootaloo]

28. And yet posters with 12+ hides get to keep on truckin'!

[Hiraeth]

32. the double standard is ironic. the hypocrisy is astounding. eom

[senz]

46. Exactly, and these are frenetic, out-of-their-gourd, habitual abusers

who, if you met them in RL, would make you either duck or cross the street, while people like bmus, WillyT, demeter, and even, for a few days, artislife, have been civil, logical, generally soft-spoken, and never personally abusive.

The favoritism for Hill supporters is obvious and, for a website, kind of shameful and nutty. If this place weren't so well-read and therefore potentially persuasive to the voting/ opinion-writing public, I don't think I'd want to stick around. But the stakes are high in this primary; for me it is a clear choice between good and evil (cue soundtrack of wicked laughter during debates) and I want readers/lurkers/tweeters, etc. to get accurate candidate information and pick up on the true concerns and feelings, and memes, of liberal voters. So each of us can help in that regard, even if only in keeping worthwhile threads kicked.

Sorry, more yaketty-yak than you expected.

[Hiraeth]

33. posting in solidarity with BMUS. One of DU's best and brightest, no matter the candidate.

Miss you, BMUS

[LiberalElite]

34. We miss you BMUS!!

[progressoid]

35. Hey BMUS!

[me b zola]

37. I have big love for BMUS

What was done to her was so very wrong. Whomever alerted on and voted to hide those two threads need to be flagged.

You are missed, BMUS. Hope to see you soon.






...until you return,

[cui bono]

39. Bring back Beamie!!!

If you want to know the url you can also right click and "view image" then copy the url from the url address bar.

[Baobab]

41. An answer to next to last question she/he asked

may be here

[senz]

47. Stunning information there. Scary, enraging stuff.

And bmus is a woman.

[riderinthestorm]

43. Cali and now BMUS??

[demmiblue]

44. cali is able to post... her account is active. n/t

[senz]

48. After the amnesty, some of us expected her back

and were told that she'd been permanently booted. So this is perplexing.

[stage left]

45. I like BMUS.

That last hide was really stupid.

[senz]

49. BMUS is one of the great commenters/debaters here, and a friend to so many.

Using her green Cthulhu kitty in my sig line has had a strange effect. The sight of the kitty has always brought a happy feeling because I like her a lot (she made me feel welcome and at home here) and have learned to trust her ability to anchor a thread and temper the chaos. There is something in her personality that brings calmness and order. (She would probably make a great leader.) Plus, she's solidly, solidly pro-Bernie. So immediately after hitting "post" and seeing the green kitty, I'd get that happy rush -- but now it was instantly followed by feelings of shock and loss -- so it became, on the whole, disconcerting. But at some point late last night, I realized the green kitty appearing right after a comment gave me a flash of bmus approval and validation. Kind of nice.

So when she comes back (and goddamit, Skinner, she had better come back, and soon ), I'll gladly relinquish her trademark back to her, but for now it's almost like a keepsake.

And I know perfectly well I can talk to her at jpr. But she's so very, very DU; she's the best it has to offer, imo. (Ya hear that, Skinner? She's one of your crown jewels and you need to know that).

This place needs bmus.

[Jim Lane]

50. Thanks for the chalk talk on importing the gif! (n/t)

[LostOne4Ever]

51. I went with three tributes :D nt

[senz]

53. I saw that on one of the threads & meant to tell you how thoughtful and sweet it is.

I hope bmus sees it, too.

[bbgrunt]

52. BMUS, a leading light in the progressive movement, we miss you.
