Thinking of ***cali*** today. nt

[Snotcicles]

[Ed Suspicious]

1. Where has cali gone? I must have missed something.

[Snotcicles]

3. Don't know the details. Whatever it was, happen in the middle of last month. Anybody have any id? nt

[cui bono]

4. Looks like too many hidden posts.

She should be back July 25.

[Le Taz Hot]

17. She got targeted by the Borg.

She's on time-out. Too many hides and if you take a look some of those hides they were HUGE bullshit hides. But the "right" people got on the jury and, well, cali's on timout.

[appalachiablue]

2. Also miss Cali and Skip. Recall the matter with S. but not Cali. Can it be mentioned or PM?

[SoapBox]

12. I wondered...

And I thought I heard rumor that Cha was out (now back...I didn't ask), MADem and now lots of chatter about 1StrongBlackMan...

So many names that I actually know of...whether I agree or disagree with them, sheesh.

[awoke_in_2003]

14. Too much alerting on bullshit...

Every one mentioned is a great DUer. People need to grow the hell up.

[juajen]

24. Yep, they need to come back.

However, I trust the boys to do the right thing, in most every situation. Hmm, not many people can call them boys. See, I am in a select group. Ya'll come on back now, ya hear.

[awoke_in_2003]

25. If by "boys" you mean admins...

I agree. The timeouts are automatic based on number of hidden posts- do admins review the timeouts or just the "flagged for review"?

[roguevalley]

35. I read an alert where someone was mad because they used a French style diacritical mark

on a French word that might have been critical of Hillary on some point. They were alerted upon for being French.

[jwirr]

37. I like both Cha and 1StrongBlackMan. I assume that what is happening is that anyone who speaks

out and becomes a leader here is in trouble.

[MissDeeds]

5. I miss Cali too

Her voice and her passion are needed.

[Warren Stupidity]

6. On hide vacation until July 26.

[Snotcicles]

7. How does one find out such info? nt

[Warren Stupidity]

11. I go to my inbox, use the find member button

To get to the profile.

[Snotcicles]

13. Thanks much. I hope that jury sleeps well. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

15. While the juries may be shit...

the real problem is alert trolls. There are some that just wait to alert on posts by certain DUers.

[Snotcicles]

16. I'm beginning to catch on to that. nt

[awoke_in_2003]

18. I didn't want to believe it...

but it seems that a few people have big old targets on their backs. It happens too often to be coincidental.

[Snotcicles]

19. She had over one hundred thousand post, she built half this joint by her self. nt

[winter is coming]

29. +1. I've had a couple of obviously bullshit alerts in the past week. n/t

[awoke_in_2003]

30. I had a hide...

but I definitely deserved it. And it felt good

[Warren Stupidity]

48. Oh but you can ask the admins about this and they will tell you that "nope not a problem".

Which is funny as they deliberately increased the reward for the alert trolling game by moving to the 5 hides vacation system.

[rbnyc]

8. I love cali.

Boo!

[Snotcicles]

9. She would be in good form these days. nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

10. K & R

[Jim Lane]

20. And the Clinton supporters are constantly whining about how THEY'RE being targeted for hides.

One of their hosts has urged them:

So hugs to you and remember to keep your responses positive because of itchy alert fingers. I must stress thid last point. Several are now on bogus vacations so don't say anything that can be alerted on.

I guess everyone loves playing the victim. The difference is that cali actually is a victim.

[Maedhros]

21. I never thought I'd see the day on DU when a post was hidden

for disparaging Pam Geller.

Wow.

[deurbano]

26. I assume the post was hidden for proposing the violation of Geller with a rusty farm implement, not

just for disparagement (which the loathsome Geller has obviously earned).

[I mean, she has earned the disparagement, not the violation.]

[Maedhros]

27. Yes, I agree. I try never to use such wording, even in reference to persons I despise.

But given that this site takes undue pleasure in the discomfort of conservatives, I'm still surprised.

[jalan48]

22. I got banned from the Hillary room for calling her the establishment candidate.

I had no idea it was a "Safe haven for Hillary supporters". If her supporters are that uptight they need to warn DUers as to the situation at the top of the thread.

I hope Cali is doing well and look forward to her return.

[Phlem]

23. they truly are sensitive over there.

landed there by accident one day. I had to hot shower for an hour till I felt clean again.

[Maedhros]

28. They're convinced they are being "bullied" by Sanders supporters.

Projection is a helluva thing.

[Phlem]

31. I knew it.

All the Sanders posts have drowned Hillary out. Awesome!

[Maedhros]

32. No, they retreated to their protected group and the safety of the echo chamber.

They have no substantive responses to arguments calling out their candidate for her stances on the economy and war.

[cui bono]

43. I'm fine with them hanging in there to have a positive place about HRC,

but they use it as a place to disparage DUer and now Bernie so that he can't even be defended. So childish.

[Maedhros]

46. There are a few posters who are using the Bernie Sanders group in the same way.

I try to avoid those threads in an effort to let them sink...

[cui bono]

53. I haven't seen any outright hit pieces on HRC but there were a couple unsavory OPs/posts

and they were met with calls to self-delete, which did end up happening.

I certainly hope the Sanders group does not allow that sort of thing. If a candidate is to be discussed in a critical way it should be done in the open where everyone has a chance to defend it.

[magical thyme]

38. I think it's that vast left-wing conspiracy

that's got under their skin...

[Skittles]

33. I got booted from the Tiger Beat, er, Barack Obama Group for stating that Democrats do not goosestep

I consider it an honor now

[Warren Stupidity]

49. Some hosts love the ban hammer.

[jalan48]

50. I got that feeling. Give some folks a little power and they really start tripping.

[olddots]

34. I got kicked out of the Hillary camp

not realizing I wandered into , the bouncer was someone I've had on ignore for years .

Kind of ignore instant karma .

Can't express how much I miss Cali and so many here that get iced .

[Snotcicles]

36. We should start a group for those that get out of boot-camp. Where they can say anything they

want as longs as it pertains to them getting booted.

[magical thyme]

39. that sounds like such a fun place, it's probably not a good idea

some of us would start trying to get the boot so we could join later and rant at will

[WillyT]

40. Yeah... The Swarm Can Be Pretty Effective... Unfortunately...

Just like the Borg.

cali... I MISS YOU !!!







& Rec !!!

[JackInGreen]

41. Now me too

A missed voice.

[GoneFishin]

42. Why not have an alert *alert* system where an alert abuser's history can be reviewed?

[snagglepuss]

45. Excellent idea. nt

[Smarmie Doofus]

51. Now yer' talkin'. n/t

[Flying Squirrel]

44. Once again the Admin refuse to admit

When a new idea of theirs doesn't work out well. Kinda like unrec, which caused me to leave for a prolonged period of time. Someone successfully hid a post of mine that read ".........." because I kept kicking a thread they didn't like - thus preventing me from kicking it again. The silencing of voices continues on this supposedly liberal website, now via the jury system instead of unrec.

[Vattel]

47. Cali is amazingly intelligent. I miss her too.

[TBF]

52. She calls it like it is -

and that scares the status quo.
