So who else has been blocked from the Hillary group?

[Fast Walker 52]

Wow, are they touchy or what?

On one of their many posts about sexist attacks on Hillary, and I said:

"Sure. It's just that you can only get so much mileage out of these complaints"

Cue the outrage.

[CBGLuthier]

1. What I find funny is they still put (Hillary Group) in their posts

as if there is anyone left who can reply in a way that does not properly respect their precious.

Banned a week ago or so.

[Human101948]

2. I was going to make a comment but I'm afraid I may get alerted on...

I never thought I would have to self censor on DU.

[yuiyoshida]

5. its too late already

ya know, once they know, you are out.

[Human101948]

7. Oh, I was banned from the Hillary group a while back...

I was afraid of getting alerted on out here.

[yuiyoshida]

8. I see...

I was labeled a "Hillary Hater" on day one... and ungrateful as well..

[R. Daneel Olivaw]

23. Well, U R a meanie.

[yuiyoshida]

42. I know huh?

[PFunk1]

3. I think a better question is who hasn't been blocked.

As being blocked from that group is starting to feel like a badge of honor.

(and yes I was one of the early ones)

[Fast Walker 52]

11. wow-- well, that's certainly a way to win people over to your side.

[sarge43]

17. That would be a much shorter list.

Received my badge last week. Yes I know, took me long enough.

[Boomer]

4. I was thrown out, too

I don't tend to pay much attention to which forum I'm in since I enter most threads through Latest Threads. I made some mildly critical comment about Hillary and was blocked from the Hillary group. I hadn't even realized I was in there to begin with or that it was considered a "safe" space from criticism.

I know now!

[EdwardBernays]

6. Banned

After about a week or so on DU.

I didn't realise holding a non-sanctioned opinion was against the rules at the the time.

[peacebird]

9. Banned last year

[LiberalElite]

10. I am!! It was so quick

BANG! ZOOM! OUTTA THERE!



Welcome!

[Fast Walker 52]

13. wow-- that's too funny

[monmouth4]

12. Me too....LOL...n/t

[Duckhunter935]

14. long time ago

[Mnemosyne]

15. All I said was that we are Dems too. nt

[rurallib]

16. Think I was gone the first week

I didn't even know there was such a group or what group rules were.
Someone posted a flat out lie about Sanders. One thing I like about DU is that lies are usually refuted almost instantly.
So I took it upon myself to refute. Told to quit it as it was a safe haven group.
Told them there should be no safe haven for lies and I was outside looking in.

[jalan48]

18. Months ago, when she had a 30 point lead. Don't diss the Queen!

[vdogg]

19. There is a reason these groups were created.

If you wish to debate about a candidate and criticize them, do it in GDP, that's why it's there. Going to a specific candidate forum to troll and then wondering why you're banned seems a bit disingenuous.

[Fast Walker 52]

25. I wasn't trolling, and actually I found the thread on the front page

I support Bernie but I'm not actually against Hillary -- at least I try not to trash her.

[vdogg]

29. Fair enough

I do wish they would block candidate threads from popping up in the latest thread queue, since that seems to be the way most people say they are falling in there.

[sarge43]

40. I wasn't trolling at least by any normal standard. I answered a question

However, I'd say it was my icon that earned me the badge

/on edit/ The thread was on the front page.

[floriduck]

20. I could say I was but I have no reason to go there.

They were quick with me. I don't block anyone because the more bizarre posts I read, the more I realize how far out some people are. I actually enjoy it. And you see the same Hillary fans coming up with the same excuses for their poor decisions.

The sad part of it is that we have so many people in this country that just refuse to take their blinders off. They are what other country citizens see in disgust.

[Xipe Totec]

21. Two can play that game; I trashed the entire topic and blocked the blocker.

Out of sight, out of mind.

[farleftlib]

22. I don't go there

They're bad enough in GD-P. Which brings me to something else I've noticed lately. They claim, mathematically speaking, that it's something like 80%-20% Sanders supporters vs. HRC supporters but there are so many negative Sanders posts in GD-P, you'd think they had the numbers advantage or at least 50/50.

[cantbeserious]

24. For Close To Two Years

eom

[NV Whino]

26. Yep. I took a wrong turn and ended up in the group

Made a rather mild remark and I was outta there.

I suspect that's why they put Hillary Group in the title these days. Keep out the riff raff.

[doc03]

27. I was and plan on voting for her. I believe I mentioned the baggage she has with all

the Benghazi and e-mail investigations. That's a no no I guess.

[KansDem]

28. To date...

250 DUers blocked from the Sanders group,
489 DUers blocked from the Clinton group.


That's almost twice as many!

Yes, they are touchy.

[bkkyosemite]

30. Me! Did not know I was in there and my post was nothing.

[RoccoR5955]

31. They locked me out

When they first formed it. I think I was number ONE!
I think I just mentioned the name "Sanders," and they thought it was an offensive attack on the pre-ordained queen, so they locked me out!

[ladjf]

32. I was blocked for saying "I don't think she is our best candidate". nt

[Fast Walker 52]

35. wow! I sense a trend.

[postin4Bern]

33. Deperation is showing, I guess, producing thinner skin.

[pennylane100]

34. Banned.

[polly7]

36. yeah me ....

just for defending a good DU'er who was getting slimed. [URL=.html][IMG][/IMG][/URL] I think it took them about .0005 seconds.

[SoapBox]

37. They're into the hundreds on their banned list...

Give them time, they will ban most of the world...and when the world is banned they will then turn on each other.

I am a proud member of the Banned Badge of Honor group!

[Zorra]

38. Never even thought about going there, but may be blocked anyway. nt

[winter is coming]

39. You have to make at least one post in a group before you can be blocked from it.

Most safe havens appear to block only for posts actually made in the group, but given the reports of bannings I've seen here, the Hillary Group seems not to be following that practice. So not only do they have a safe haven where you're not supposed to be an ass about HRC, their "safe haven" is apparently threatened by anything said anywhere on DU.

[panader0]

41. 489 blocks so far...

250 here.
I can't be blocked there because I never post there.
But when you read through the 489 names you see most of the best DUers.

[Jim Lane]

43. Actually more than that. They purge the block list of some tombstoned people.

For example, Manny was on the list once (surprise, surprise) but no longer is.

They might actually have hit the 500 mark in total blocks.

[Jim Lane]

44. For anyone not yet blocked, you've been invited to comment there.

The title of this thread in the Hillary Clinton Group is "This is a question every Bernie Sanders supporter must answer". I think the question itself is silly (essentially trying to blame Sanders for anything any Clinton opponent says). What's really amusing, of course, is that it's posted as a bold challenge to Sanders supporters -- in the safe haven group from which so many Sanders supporters have been blocked.

I occasionally think about trashing that group, but its comedy value keeps it on my screen.

[Rebkeh]

45. Me

It didn't take long either. I had commented from the front page, thinking the OP was from GD-P, not realizing it was a group.

Eh.

[Mojorabbit]

46. Me, I accidently

landed there through the main page and made a mild comment. Next thing I know...Boom.
