for type of people he/she was flaming with and not even as bad as many others. I would never have noticed, but I have a really bad memory for names. In any case, good others are taking notes.

except for the venom he spit at Clinton. That being said, I'm glad he's gone. Sanders doesn't need that kind of "supporter."

Doesn't make one a right wing troll.

I don't care for her myself, so I fully understand some level of healthy loathing, until perhaps the general election, and even then I understand being not bothered to vote, even though I'll probably get a clothes pin and pull the lever.

That said, the troll give-a-way is the ALL CAPS ALL THE TIME.

and that becomes your world. The concept of evolution totally eludes you, doesn't it?

As an FYI? The VAST majority of Democrats were for civil unions, not same-sex marriage during that time that was, what, ten years ago? But unlike you, people do evolve and move on.

Let's keep things in perspective: the consensus was back then, civil unions with equal marital rights was preferred by every Democrat including Barack Obama, BERNIE SANDERS, Howard Dean, Hillary Clinton, Bill Clinton, DiFi, Barbara Boxer, the vast majority of Congressional Dems, and just about the entire Black, Latino, and Asian community. But they've evolved since, haven't they? And thanks to BARACK OBAMA, DOMA and DADT are gone, and under his watch, same-sex marriage is legal all across the country.

So you're espousing ancient history. Time to let it go, otherwise it'll eat at you until there's nothing left inside you. Or am I too late with my advice?

And that is very much the point. It doesn't matter what the politicians say. There is right and there is wrong. You were wrong. Not only wrong, you were vocally wrong and attacked LGBTers in this space in your wrongness.

I don't need a politician to tell me what is an acceptable idea this week. I don't need a politician to figure out what is right in my own mind.

You fall back on them.

So why on earth should anyone bother about what you think now? You go with the wind, taking your cues, and who cares who gets hurt? A politician said it was ok!

Yeah, that mindset. Just magical.

I really don't care whether you believe I have any credibility to be a longtime member of Democratic Underground but I'm a Democrat, through and through. Not a fair-weather one, but a true Democrat, and that's why I'm still here and that other poster isn't. Period.

I sure do hope you don't have too much of the sadz.

Were you ever sorry? Did you ever apologize? Or did you shrug and go where you were told and figured, well, now it's ok?

I don't have a sadz in the slightest. I'm actually pretty awesome (Vegas next weekend, woo!).

But if you're going to lounge around and accuse other Democrats of being right-wingers or haters or what have you. Tch, please. You hated long before anyone here. And you justified it.

So, just the worst.

The word exists. How it is used is what matters. ND was quoting a banned asshole. There was no malicious intent. It's like Sharpton quoting some racist who used the N word. Would we want to censor and punish him for it?

Should EarlG have given a bad word warning when directing members to that profile page?

it's possible that ND may be victim to a crowd that goes after him. It wouldn't be the first person facing that.

Hostile to most elected Democrats, hostile to African Americans and women.

That combination of characteristics should result in PPR.

when they vote. Many of our elected officials seem confused as to whether they should support liberal or conservative principles.
