The Deaniac thread wasn't flamebait

[TayTay]

we were talking out the differences without coming to anything like verbal blows. Why was that thread locked? It was an informative trading of opinions. Isn't that the reason we have groups?

That one was nowhere near flamebait. I don't get it. We have never had a problem in here with raging flame wars. Seems rather flimsy for a lockdown, dontcha think?

[JI7]

1. the subject line was flamebait

because it referred to some Dean people as Deanbots.

saracat shoudl have changed it to posting a link to the article and asking opinions on what we think of the strategy. it would have remained then.

[TayTay]

2. I see, I see

So we can say anything we want, indirectly, as long as we don't put anything inflammatory in the header.

Okay, that makes perfect sense. I will monitor the GD - P to see if that is indeed the rule. Thanks!

[JI7]

5. she only did it because of some Dean supporters who were doing it

so i can understand where she was coming from.

but we have to remember in the future before we post something like that.

and also to alert others who do it to us .

[JohnKleeb]

3. Yep I agree

[Pirate Smile]

12. I didn't post in that thread because the subject line did piss me off

some (not that I alerted on it or anything).

I'm in a bad mood so I just stepped away from that thread.

I agreed with your comment, Tay Tay.

I saw the following paraphrase/quote that Gen. Clark supposedly said tonight over on Daily Kos and I wish we could follow that a little more:

And--BREAKING!-- we have our own 11th commandment now. Clark was talking about the Democratic Party earning some street cred for being tough on national security, He says that the place to start is with this thought: Americans will believe that a Democratic CinC will defend them when they first become convinced that " Democrats will defend other Democrats." Can I get an amen?

I'm just sick of the fighting and bashing of other Dems.

[sandnsea]

23. Yes

I agree with Clark.

But I tried to say that in that LBN thread, and got attacked for it anyway. I apparently am not allowed to not like what Dean said, (but suggest we just ignore it and stay on message), and have my avatar at the same time.

:crazy:

[politicasista]

24. Amen

I heard the General is going to also announce he is running for president in 08. I am tired of the fighting and bashing of other Dems too.

[politicasista]

13. Is saracat in trouble?

:shrug:

[TayTay]

18. I don't think so kid

Threads get locked down all the time. I should think she is okay.

[politicasista]

19. I think so too

I used to post a few of those in defense of Kerry before I came here.

[Pirate Smile]

20. Nope. It is no biggy. It actually seemed pretty tame to get locked

but stuff gets locked all the time.

[WildEyedLiberal]

4. FWIW, I missed all the discussion about that too

Too bad, because I woulda had a lot to say.

Just got back to my computer... sigh.

6. she was talking about this thread in the late breaking news forum

the replies she got on this forum were pretty neutral though. but here is the link to the thread with the article she was talking about when she posted on here.

[TayTay]

7. Okay then, I understand better

I have never had anything locked down or anything. Must be my bad.

So how are all you fine folks this evening?

[JohnKleeb]

8. Look at MLB.com and or watch sportscenter

and remember who my baseball team is.

[TayTay]

10. 2nd place, nice

half a game out, beat the Yanks again in a heartstopper. Nice. Very nice indeed.

Good work Baby Birds!

[JohnKleeb]

14. Rats I Thought we were tied for first but yes

They blew a three run lead with two outs on us. I seriously think they are in decline.

[TayTay]

21. My Sox have been having fun with TB

They kicked the stuffing out of them on Friday 8-0, then beat them again today 6-2. Hey, we play Baltimore this week at Camden Yards. The O's are Sox-killers. You and me will have some bidness between us Kleeb. (It's okay, I'll medicate before I log on.)

[JohnKleeb]

22. Ive never feared the Sox really

I don't hate the sox though, remember I rooted for them last fall.

[WildEyedLiberal]

9. What a grotesquely tacky thing to say

Honestly, they talk about Kerry misspeaking... good grief.

[TayTay]

11. Hey WEL, is this a real pic

or did you make it up from John-sayit.com?

[WildEyedLiberal]

15. It's a real pic

The pics on that site are real too, only they have speech bubbles attached.

[wisteria]

16. I agree!

My post wasn't meant to upset the Dean people. I was just expressing my point of view about Dean's statements. I have seen much worse posted against John Kerry and no one locked those threads. What gives?

[JI7]

17. it wasn't because of yours or any of the replies

it was because of the subject line and original message of that thread.

but you are right, there is a lot of crap on Kerry that has been allowed and shouldn't be.

[wisteria]

25. OK, well maybe that makes subject line issue makes sense.
