Related: About this forumYes, it is wrong to use vulgarity when referrring to Bernie. The same thing applies to those
that do the same thing against Hillary.
I can only control what I do. I don't participate in those dialogs, or recommend them.
No one here is that naive not to realize that garbage has been thrown at Hillary for sometime now.
The jury system is broken. The "community standard" is in the eye of the beholder.
I know there are those who believe there should be nothing barred, using the free speech reasoning. However, "calling fire in a theater, when there is no fire", is not an exercise of free speech.

(38,437 posts)If we're hiding posts for calling Sanders vulgar names, we do the same for those referring to Clinton with vulgarity.
At the present time, that consistency is nonexistent (probably due to the unequal distribution at DU of Sanders supporters vs Clinton supporters).
And how we came to the point of accepting base insults hurled at posters is unknown to me.
