I'm so proud. I finally joined the club.

I responded to a post from the main page that apparently was actually a post from the Hillary group, and got banned from their group. I am happy to join so many other Bernie supporters.

Welcome to one of the largest groups on DU - or so it seems.

I've never posted there intentionally and have never planned to. And I have expanded my Ignore list from any Hillary supporter who posted something snide or inflammatory to anybody who identifies themselves as a Hillary supporter. If you are a Hillary supporter, I don't want to know you or have anything to do with you. And I'm sure the feeling is mutual. Better that we just not interact with each other.

Sounds like we did similar things.
I responded to a post that was a flat out lie about Sanders.
After getting beat up, I responded again with some what I thought were cogent arguments. Boom - I was banned.
I had been here 10 years + and did not know about group powers and their ability to ban.
Previously I thought if someone posted lies, misleads or omissions we had something of an obligation to set the record straight.

Never had anyone on ignore before. Now it is a long list.

Don't know if I can weather the gloating that will be coming. Been here a long time and really like it, but sometimes you just have to walk away.

when the purge comes.
They have a list of our names there too. Why else would they keep them there, unless there is a purge coming at some point.

BTW-- I'm #49.

had no idea there were 'rules' about 'groups'. I inadvertently wandered into a 'Nancy' snake pit of a thread and made a comment about whiplash when a certain candidate will swing back to the right. It stung but since then I have learned the ropes and several nice folks here have shared similar experiences with me.

Welcome to the Club!
