What really stung was not that I was banned from posting on the HRC group

But that they didn't lock the offending thread.

So for days Hillarites bashed the thread like a piñata but I could not post a single reply.

That was sadistic.

And I won't forget that.

Or forgive it.

Or the person who did it.

nothing you could have said would have made a difference.

Consider yourself lucky to have saved yourself some time.

There's no getting along with them. They actually turned me off from the idea of supporting their candidate. At the time they booted me I was undecided, but they took care of that.

It has been the unfortunate theme the entire primary. So much injustice with Bernie's campaign. Your experience is but an extension of that. IMO.

It says what I mean. With humor.

Post your own stuff instead of telling people what to post.

Or how to express themselves.

The nerve.

It's still a badge of honor, to be sure, but it's kind of diluted because they hand these blocks out so readily. Even after some pruning of the list, presumably to remove the progressives who've been PPR'd, they're still over 800 blocks. They really ought to tighten their standards if they want the block to be something that people can actually take pride in.
