I feel so left out.
Should I just post an Op saying. "I am told I am being targeted?"
Will that suffice---I mean I have no proof that I am---but I do have a sneaky suspicion that maybe I am.
That would be so cool to be targeted.
((((((((((BREAKING NEWS!)))))))))))))))
I just received information from an unnamed source confirming that indeed I am being targeted! This appears credible.

polly7
(20,582 posts)And why would it be cool? Cali was targeted, she's alert stalked on every post she makes, I imagine, and can't post again for awhile. You had a whole group (actually, it consisted of all those over there - what a coinky-dink!) sympathizing when you were out, it's supposed to be different for anyone else though?

I just have no proof that I am being targeted.

Can I be targeted?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10027361591
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
If the hosts are not going to shut down all these meta threads (from both "sides" , perhaps a jury will do it. It violates SOP, but it is also "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate."
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Nov 19, 2015, 08:43 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Yeah, plus I didn't think copycat threads were a thing in GD. And, hey, if you don't what the crap you are doing your little Clinton website being brought here, the answer would be to, I don't know, maybe stop doing that crap. I realize certain rooms are now hidden which only really confirms that what is being done there doesn't want to be seen.
Rather than do this passive-aggressive stuff, how about you denounce the bad stuff that's being done on other sites for those you support. You know, just like you always say Sanders supporters don't do.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I thought I heard a waahmbulance.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm not the jury member you're looking for. Good luck, maybe your frivolous alert will be successful.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This whole thread is silly but not worth alerting on.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(7,633 posts)After all i have less than a 1000 post so i cant sit on MIRT.
I was under the impression that even if you can alert on somebody's post you can not control who is going to be on that jury.
Why do I see people complaining about being hunted and having juries rigged with Bernie or Hillary supporters .
How is that possible ?
ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)Other times, they get lucky and posts are hidden.
For a long time, I thought it was a pantload, and then with recent posts and links back to another site (and subsequent alerts on the posts that linked back to another site) proving the picking out and alert targeting other DUers, I don't believe it's a pantload any more. What's really sick is that I genuinely liked and respected more than a couple of the members of that site.
that's how it's "possible." And here is my hope that your concern is genuine.

I am learning a lot about human nature and group think with all this.
ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)eyes. I don't mean to offend you, but I'm not so very stupid. People have taken an Internet discussion board too far. That's what I'm learning. I'm also learning that the major supporters of both candidates need to take a breath.
upaloopa
(11,417 posts)Of people who have absolutely no intention of stalking or alerting people. You all are building a fucking mountain out of a screen shot from 3 months ago and claiming it represents people who weren't ever at that site then.
But I am getting an education on how mob think happens.
That's got to be worth something
ScreamingMeemie
(68,918 posts)me confused with someone else. September to October is 1 month. October to November is 2 months. I'm sorry, but from outside of whatever y'all have going on with each other, those posts were disgusting, and it's not a group I would ever defend. Yell if it makes you feel better, but I've built nothing. Only given y'all my opinion. Thank you for realizing that and taking your anger elsewhere.
Again, Disclaimer: I participate in neither the Hillary group, the Bernie group or the collective cesspool (GD: P)
Rex
(65,616 posts)And so far, the site creator nor any of the members there have said the screenshots are fakes or photoshopped. Silence speaks volumes imo.

(65,616 posts)I cannot believe it is so bad that posters are going off site to vent about each other.

(26,549 posts)The other half of targeting is having your group of people logged in before sending the alerts. That makes it more likely that an alert will have several of your group on the jury.
Sheepshank
(12,504 posts)or does it really matter since Bernie supporters are a 80% majority here?

(53,866 posts)abrasiveness and deliberating antagonizing people has an associated cost in all societies and du is micro-society.
EDIT: i'm not sure what this drama is about, I'm making comments on the general persecution complex + getting thrown off du for no fault of my own complex.
I'm not even sure that you are referring to yourself, or mocking someone doing the same

(25,538 posts)I must alert the others, we must quickly hide from prying eyes the hundreds of posts detailing our diabolical conspiracies to silence and destroy you. Who has revealed the secret? Never mind. They will be found and punished without mercy, as is our way. But i have said too much already. You will remember nothing, I now say.

Is this in the right forum?
I'm sure I know where this came from. Secret FB site? The same that target Bravenak?
You stay strong!
