They accelerated the start of the site in light of the increased pace of PPRing Bernie supporters here.

I have no idea the dif between a .com and an .org but I sure know if you don't have the right suffix on the addy you won't go to the right place.

based on this guess no more drama fun for people LOL



"Most all of us have an axe to grind with our former online home but please discuss it privately among yourselves (ie in PMs) instead of going public with it on the board. This kind of disarray can be used against us, is a troll magnet and isn't very attractive to Bernie supporters from other communities we want to attract so we will not tolerate negative talk about other online communities and their members. They're simply not that interesting! We have enough material with everything Hillary is doing wrong, the DNC and its corruption, etc... "

I was banned from posting a critical message in a thread in the "Bernie Group" (and I truly like Bernie, but some of the posts supporting him and attacking Hillary are beyond the pale. And I don't think he's running a good campaign). If there are any overly-sensitive snowflakes on DU, they are moderating the Bernie Group.

can do in almost every other part of this board. The Bernie Group hosts are not anywhere near as fast to block as the Hillary Group hosts. However, I support the right of both groups of hosts to block whomever they think is not posting in accordance with the SOP of the group. IRL, if you trespass, you subject yourself to arrest. On a board, to blocking or banning.

"The Bernie Group hosts are not anywhere near as fast to block as the Hillary Group hosts..."

Whatever we have to tell ourselves to comfort our biases, even if only unsupported allegations, often followed by a justification as to why showing evidence is irrelevant.

I didn't always agree with him, but I don't think he should have gotten the tombstone the way he did.
