I have to announce a great honor: I have been blocked from

[jwirr]

the H group. As if I wanted to go there.

[retrowire]

2. Took you long enough! Welcome to the club. lol nt

[jwirr]

5. I think it was actually a mistake. I went in to look at that

post about "refugee" and posted without knowing I was even in the idiot group. But I still consider it an honor. Finally I am part of our group.

[Maedhros]

63. We should have our own jackets.[n/t]

[sarge43]

75. T shirts at least. n/t

[Maedhros]

81. Secret decoder rings? [n/t]

[sarge43]

84. And coffee cups. n/t

[Maedhros]

85. Maybe a Hillary Clinton bobble-head that wags its finger at us? [n/t]

[sarge43]

86. Winner. 8) n/t

[thereismore]

3. I made a post by mistake and I was a goner. nt

[haikugal]

29. I think that's how it works....lol

[jalan48]

4. Alright!! Join the club of outcasts.

I remember going through a similar situation in 60's. The establishment Democrats wanted Humphrey and we radicals said, hell no!
Hillary is today's Humphrey-no thanks!

[jwirr]

6. Good comparison.

[MissDeeds]

7. Congrats!

I made it on my very first post there. I had no idea I was posting in the echo chamber, but it was a grand and glorious blocking nonetheless!

[notadmblnd]

14. Mee too!

[Enthusiast]

73. Me too. I had no idea I was posting to such an area or I would have measured my tone.

Oh, well. It's their loss.

[Phlem]

8. What took you so long!

I gots mine early and it has been most awesome.

[jwirr]

9. I have been ignoring them.

[NV Whino]

10. They're so busy blocking everyone, they may not have time to praise Hillary

[notadmblnd]

12. I can't find a way to block that group off of my latest page.

I went there by accident and got kicked out too. My sentiment is the same as yours. I didn't want to go there anyway

[LiberalArkie]

17. go to a message from that group and click on Hillary Clinton Group. There is a button for trash it.

It removes the posts from latest and greatest.

[notadmblnd]

18. Oh good, I thought the trash it was only good for that post.

thanks

[sarge43]

13. By now Camp Weathervane has everyone with a Bernie icon blocked

BFD

[malokvale77]

25. That explains it.

I don't recall ever posting there, but I'm blocked.

It's fine with me because I don't see a half brain amongst them.

[sarge43]

32. Well, I'll put this way

In my time I've been to cow flop bingo games, chicken flings, cockroach races, Tijuana, drunken pub crawls and barracks brawls, a mud wrestling match, a wet T shirt contest and more staff meetings than I care to recall. My standards aren't stratospheric; however, I draw the line at Camp Weathervane. So if I'm blocked, it was rather a waste of time.

[malokvale77]

37. I just have to say...

this is one of my all time favorite posts on DU.

I have experienced many things you have mentioned. I have experienced things that I will never, ever mention. None of them are as disgusting as what I see coming from Camp Weathervane.

[sarge43]

40. Why thank you

Yeah, if that's what we'll mention, we'll leave the unmentionables to the audience's imagination.

[malokvale77]

42. You are most welcome.

Some things are not meant to be be mentioned.

[MuseRider]

61. Awesome post.

I feel the same. Blocked just today.

[Blue_In_AK]

15. William is busy.

I just got blocked, too. I've never posted anything there ever, to my recollection, nor do I bad mouth Hillary, but something I said apparently rubbed him the wrong way. This comment maybe? http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7463696

I won't be losing any sleep over it.

[malokvale77]

27. Who the hell is this William guy?

Is he one of the elitist who are supporting DU to the point of not needing the rest of us?

[Blue_In_AK]

31. William769,

who is also apparently the proprietor of the website Hillaryclintonsupporters.com or whatever they call themselves. I never noticed him being so abrasive until this primary.

[malokvale77]

33. Yah, I know who he is.

I just wonder why he has so much say here on DU.

[Blue_In_AK]

34. That I don't know.

The same could be said for several other seemingly Teflon members of this site. I'm sure you know of whom I speak.

[malokvale77]

38. I have a bit of a clue. nt

[Fawke Em]

57. The same people that can IM attack while they're allegedly on a "vacation?"

[grasswire]

36. he and Sid and a few others...

...will have a lovely time here in the ghost town of DU. Tumbleweeds. Crickets. Coyotes.

[malokvale77]

41. Well, one can't mention Sid without...

this

[QC]

44. He's on vacation again.

Maybe he will use the free time to explore the wide world of smileys and maybe branch out a bit.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

46. He's taking time off to spend time with his smileys.

[QC]

48. LOL

Here's a nice one

Maybe he'll give it a whirl.

[QC]

82. Now his poor sidekick is stalking for two!

[LiberalElite]

69. He's a longtime

resident of my ignore list. Even before Bernie declared.

[ladjf]

78. He's the same guy that blocked me.

I sent him an email asking why he blocked me. No response, of course.

[Hassin Bin Sober]

47. You posted today. Maybe you didn't see you were there.

[Blue_In_AK]

65. I did?

Oh, dear.

Ed. -- oh, man, I got suckered in, thanking Mary for removing the offending post from the other site. The nerve of me...

[LiberalArkie]

16. They did me also this afternoon by some William guy. At least I won't have to worry about

accidentally posting in that group any more.

[Blue_In_AK]

20. I think he may be trolling the member list at JPR

which is his right, although I think it's kind of childish. I don't know about you, but I have never talked bad about Hillary here ever, although I've made my support for Bernie known. Petty.

[jwirr]

24. You may have something about JPR - I just registered there

yesterday.

[rhett o rick]

21. They banned me for saying, "I did not know that". It's a power thing. Alerting, locking, hiding,

banning, etc. It's all about power. I think there are records for who alerted the most or got the most hides.

[haikugal]

30. +1,000

[rhett o rick]

19. Be sure to say that you are not complaining otherwise you'll get a lock. nm

[LiberalArkie]

26. I was never complained about them, never had a problem until William jumped all over me today and I`

thought I was very nice also. I got a hide from one of them one day for saying "Thank You".

[rhett o rick]

58. It's all about the power to lock and hide those they don't agree with. They can't articulate

a decent argument so instead they alert, lock, hide and ban.

[malokvale77]

22. It's like an Oscar.

Congratulations.

Wear it with pride.

[Scootaloo]

23. Naw, more like a grammy, with they way they hand the things out

[malokvale77]

28. Perfect. nt

[LiberalElite]

70. They're not gonna be special anymore

if everyone has one.

[grasswire]

35. can they block you if you've never been there? nt

[Blue_In_AK]

43. Apparently so

because I have never, ever posted in that forum, and I also never speak negatively about Hillary Clinton. Apparently just favoring Bernie is enough to get one banned from the group. No big loss to me since I never had the desire to post there anyway.

[Autumn]

50. You posted a reply in there today to mary. You must post in a group to be blocked.

It's easy to post in a group and not realize where you are.

[Autumn]

51. No, you can only be blocked from a group if you post in it.

[peace13]

54. What kind of notification do you get if they block you? Nt

[MuseRider]

62. You get a PM

that says you are blocked from that group. That is all except the name of who blocked you. Today it was William.

[peace13]

74. Thanks.

I will look for that. Have a good one!😊

[Bryce Butler]

39. I guess i'm not special enough...

haven't been blocked there.

[LiberalElite]

71. It's hard to know what will set them off so,

keep trying,

[MrMickeysMom]

45. What? and steal MY thunder????

Why.... why, I'M blocked, TOO!

Seems like hiding me didn't work, so Cha had to do something else, because of not loving my opinion.

Okay... please... go ahead with the ceremony now!

[roaminronin]

52. I didn't even know

I was on it before I was blocked. They really don't like to hear anything other than she's completely and totally awesome! #shoulderpads4Hillary

[PatrickforO]

53. You're in good company.

But, to be fair, I've heard it described as their 'safe haven.' So let them have it and more power to them.

[2pooped2pop]

55. I requested they block me because i kept stumbling in there.

I read the latest threads and sometimes would jump on something not seeing that it was the Hillary group. I asked them to block me so I couldn't do it anymore.

[Fawke Em]

56. I've never been there.

But, I'm probably pre-emptively blocked anyway.

[840high]

59. Join the club.

[MuseRider]

60. Me too.

I have never been blocked from any group or anywhere. I did not post there today or yesterday. I don't know why this has happened. I don't give a darn actually since I did not post in there over the last few months and when I did it was only a few times to say something nice usually, never to be mean. Was this just a "get rid of the rest of them" purge"?

[TheBlackAdder]

64. The Ban Hammer of censorship runs deep there. I'm a Neutral and got banned for this:

The OP was called: The Force Was With Hillary Clinton in the 3rd Democratic Debate


My Post:

Ugh, another Star Wars reference... as Disney offshores millions using a tax dodge to Luxembourg.

Disney and Koch industries have one major thing in common, they both use E&Y to dodge US Taxes!


How much of this movie's profits will get parked offshort at 0.75% tax, while lobbying for a tax amnesty to repatriate it?

================================================================


Added for this post...


Half of the time I don't see what group I am in, just responding to the Latest threads. I just write my thoughts--not living in some safe space.


I'm a PoliSci continuing ed student, a neutral, a staunch Democrat who will vote for the Democrat nominee.

I posted a comment geared towards Disney, and the movie's hype, with nothing against HRC.

Yet, I've been banned from the Hillary Group now. Funny, I'm an EFF supporter who views censorship and community differently.

This is the first group I've been banned from since I got on Internet usegroups back in 1991!


===


But, I do know one thing, the sensitivity to my post was very enlightening and could be discouraging to most.

I posted a reply about someone being banned on another thread, it was apparently on a Sander's Group. It explains more.


===


I'll still remain neutral, voting for Hillary if or when she gets the nomination, and supporting everyone when there is injustice here.


A true Democrat will support the nominee, that's the way it should be. Some here, who post things counter is revolting to me. I defended the banning of Manny in an earlier post, as it is Skinner's site and people who profess to be Dems should not act as factions against that cause. Although, permanent banishment is something I have issues with.

[JDPriestly]

66. Me too. I've been blocked from both the H and the O groups.

And I bet that the folks who blocked me from the O group didn't spend half the time and energy I did in working on O's re-election campaign.

That blocking people from groups business is an utter farce. It means very little about you and lots about the moderators of the groups.

[LiberalElite]

72. Yup. I was

blocked from the H group by Cha.

[stillwaiting]

67. I blocked them first. It's very sad how little I relate to most of HRC's supporters.

There's a few I can still relate to, but not very many.

[JackInGreen]

76. I've looked at that list

there's a difference between a safe space and an echo chamber, that's the latter, I think they've got most of the active users I see every day on there.

[ladjf]

77. I was blocked from the H group not even knowing that I was posting there.

By the way my terrible post was "I don't believe that ........ is the best Democratic candidate."

That was it, nothing else.

[SoapBox]

79. Badge of Honor!

I've got mine.

How many on their list now? Hundreds?

[hobbit709]

80. When I got blocked from the echo chamber group this is the reply I sent to the PM I got.

I consider it an honor and a privilege to be blocked from a group such as yours.
I will wear my blockage proudly.

[Zorra]

87. I've never gone there. It's possible that I am already blocked anyway. nt
