And I am done, permanently with GDP.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

I received a hide for pointing out someone saying Hillary is equally capable of a nuclear war as Trump, that this person should not be allowed here.

So that is it, done with GDP, forever.

[stonecutter357]

1. K&R!

[Jackie Wilson Said]

3. Just learned about "trash" option, i chose FULL trash.

The human race is on a fast track, so to speak, to destruction, Drumpf or no Drumpf, but his inevitable election in November seals it.

[1StrongBlackMan]

2. LOL ...

I had the forum trashed for 2 weeks ... but I missed receiving my daily dose of drama and naked projection.

[leftofcool]

8. LOL

[wildeyed]

9. I have it trashed,

but I get called to jury duty in there almost continuously, so I end up reading it anyway. But I figure if I have to go through extra steps to find it, at least it cuts down on the time suck.

Never start a thread there, or in any of the main forums. That is my main rule for sanity these days.

[1StrongBlackMan]

10. LOL ... Amassing a couple of hides will cure that! LOL

[wildeyed]

11. I have no hides because I don't start threads.

At least that is my theory. Makes me a low-value target.

[1StrongBlackMan]

12. I think you might be onto something there!

[wildeyed]

13. But now I said something

and we know they stalk this forum. Busy bees probably searching my posts as we speak

[old guy]

28. Same here.

Once I see it is for GDP, I opt out from the jury.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. me too.

[lovemydog]

20. LOL

I've gone from getting pissed off to laughing hysterically at exactly that.

Interested to see the changes that will be implemented after the primaries are over.

[still_one]

4. It sure is a caustic place over there, and I also try to avoid it.

[LiberalArkie]

5. I have had it trashed for a month and have not noticed that I have missed anything at all.

Kind of like tuning out all the noise at daycare.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

6. I am predicting I will have better days, this way.

I care too much, and not just about politics.

It is a flaw, it causes me health problems.

My "caring" isnt always productive, either. So I need to slow down and accept certain realities.

[LiberalArkie]

7. Yep me too. As I have mentioned to others, at this point nothing can

possibly change someone elses mind about the election. If I find an interesting story about it, I will post it in GD-P but I never look back or reply. Just way too many people that get too much joy by starting arguments.

Nope not worth it.. Have a good day.

[wildeyed]

14. At some point it is better to walk away.

It is getting to be time for political action IRW, and that helps me too. When I can do real work that matters, I find I grind my mental gears less. If I can come home and think, YES, I registered six new voters today, had some GREAT political discussions with people who are not crazy AND trained a new volunteer.... I feel relief and don't need to blow off steam online. And like you, I have a lot of steam.

[JustAnotherGen]

15. The Forum is toxic

After getting dragged into a post today - eh?

Let's put it this way - the past three days I've served on 3 juries (only today) each day.


All 10 have been for awful tos breaking posts in GDP. Just stay out of there.

[La Lioness Priyanka]

16. i literally cannot wait for a month or so, till this board is delivered back to democrats

away from whatever fringe fucking groups have taken over

[Jackie Wilson Said]

18. It will be less exciting, and I admit I do enjoy that sometimes.

I honestly dont know what to do with people who say they are liberal and also say they wont vote for Hillary if she wins.

It seems like the Twilight Zone to me.

Hell, not one of them can even IMAGINE how liberal and Socialist I am

But that has NOTHING To do with the inevitable reality that Donald Trump represents death.

period

[La Lioness Priyanka]

19. we always argue here, but it wont be arguing with people who don't actually like the democratic

party.

i cannot wait.

[lovemydog]

21. Same here.

I've learned this primary season that many who shout the loudest ad nauseam about their love of democratic principles are the least capable of the self-restraint necessary for it to benefit everyone.

[Bobbie Jo]

41. Amen, sister.

[ismnotwasm]

22. I trashed it

So glad I did!

[Coolest Ranger]

23. I'm tired of the stalking

done to regular posters of the AA group. I got a hide too from people who don't like Hillary supporters. Tired of the stalking

[ismnotwasm]

24. I just saw that hide

I'm glad the system is being changed.

[Coolest Ranger]

25. Even though I know what Skinner is going to say

I asked him why is it they get to say all the vile and nasty things about Hillary but we can't Question Bernie. At this point I am ready to just wait another month and just say quiet until this thing is over

[ismnotwasm]

29. Yeah, it's a sad and sorry state of affairs, that's for sure

It's why I post in multiple places. I don't mind debate, but I do mind bullying

[Orrex]

26. I post in GDP to be reminded that I'm ignorant anti-progressive

And I'm supremely grateful to the true progressive warriors for so nobly telling me how stupid I am.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

27. My favorite part is being told how I am a tool of the establishment.

Hey, I appreciate these young, excited newcomers, I do...but they gotta realize some of us have been doing this FOREVER

[Orrex]

30. Of course you'd say that, you corporatist third-way toadie.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

31. I know, i remember when I smoked my first joint, I was 13, I couldnt WAIT to

get my hands on some Wall Street friends so I could destroy the economy.



Oh wait, no I was trying to get a "black light" and Pink Floyd poster.

[Orrex]

32. That's how it always starts, with the reefer.

Soon there'll be pianos and wild dancing, and then it all goes to corporatist hell.

[WhiteTara]

33. I got called a troll

and a dishonest "agent"

[rbrnmw]

34. Well I'm a Brock paid Hill$hill

[WhiteTara]

35. That's what happens when you aren't

a BoB. We are lucky we are only called "mild" names.

[rbrnmw]

36. Right?

[JustAnotherGen]

37. I'm just going with that -

Let them know your standard fee per post is $500.

They accuse you of playing games.

[Agschmid]

42. +1

[wildeyed]

38. I got called a Republican.

Translation: You said something I don't like, but I lack verbal skills, so to compensate, I will call you mean names.

Oh yeah, also, I have Tourette's as of yesterday because I guess I said something someone didn't like more than one time. Um, that is an insult to people who actually have Tourette's too, which is an actual, real disorder. So it was an ad hominem AND offensive to people with the neurological disorder, but *I* am the one with a problem? I guess I should have alerted, but why bother?

It gets old. We have been promised a better moderating system in the near future so hopefully that mess will stop soon.

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

39. Skinner will say you engaged in "bad behavior" and there's the false equivalency.

Sanders' fanatics abuse the "alert" and jury system and they get away with it because you know, "BOTH SIDES DO IT!" Bullshit!

[betsuni]

40. That false equivalency really burns my bacon.

Anyone actually reading things here should see that without that one bad side everything would be fine.

[NWCorona]

43. That's too bad as you fought/fight for Hillary well.

The hides are out of hand right now.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

44. NO, fought for Bernie, repeatedly.

Unfortunately the BoB movement is growing.

President Drumpf will cause horrific harm for many

[NWCorona]

45. I meant trying to get Bernie supporters to understand that Hillary is world's better than trump.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

46. Oh that, yes, thanks. I have a friend now who says since he said two years ago

ABC anybody but Clinton, he wont have integrity unless he votes for Drumpf

I couldnt find the words other than "So if Mussolini runs against her?"

He said Drumpf is misunderstood and is not all that bad.

This is one of the most liberal, progressive campaign activists on the left.

[gollygee]

47. I hate GDP

There is so much mythical bizarre thinking in there. Just ignore everything said in there. Hillary is going to beat Trump. Just about anyone could beat Trump. It isn't even going to be a close election, despite what ridiculous members of DU keep saying. I voted for Bernie so I know supporting Bernie doesn't have to make you say stupid things like that Trump would be less likely to get us into a war than Hillary, or that he's safer with regard to Social Security. People are just talking out of their asses at this point. I imagine a lot of it is simply sour grapes. "My candidate lost so I'm going to shit all over yours."

It's shocking how much is written in GDP and how little of it has any value at all.

Just wait a bit and things will improve. I suspect a number of people will either leave on their own, or will be made to leave.

[MADem]

48. The good news is that the primary will end SOON. Once it's done, it's DONE.

Only a few dozen more delegates to go, and it's on to the general election.

[lib87]

49. I Just Read "Fifties were a better time. Y'know, Excluding brown people and women."

[aikoaiko]

50. Comments like yours often get a hide when directed at a specific person.

Hides happen

[Jackie Wilson Said]

51. So your point is if Drumpf lovers are here and loving Drumpf, nothing I can do about it

You are right

[aikoaiko]

52. No, my point is that telling an individual DUer he or she doesn't belong here will often earn a hide

It really doesn't matter what the issue is.

You've kind of had a chip on your shoulder ever since you switch to being a HRC defender. Its going to be ok even if some DUers don't like HRC or resent the machine that supports her.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

53. A. Drumpf supporters should be banned, my pointing out that is who they are

is my duty as a liberal and patriot but specifically this board does NOT tolerate them by the RULES, but you dont know that

B. I support now and always have Bernie, but will defend Hillary because I am able to see the damage ANY con would do, let alone Drumpf.


Liberals agree with me, I dont know what the Bernie or Bust people are, they are NOT liberals, that is a fact.

[aikoaiko]

54. the best way to handle a TOS violator is to click alert if you dont like recieving hides

I think you'll find clicking alert to be very patriotic too.

[Jackie Wilson Said]

55. Yeah, I dont tend to do that. I rarely alert on people. I do think anyone who EITHER

supports Drumpf or DEFENDS anyone who does, is promoting death.

I do think that.
