Sorry guys I am leaving the group.
I been made aware that I don't know wtf I am talking about. I have been accused of posting right wing crap about Hillary, so I won't post anything any more in regards to the Presidential election. I do best posting things about Asia, and though I love and will support Bernie, I won't be leading the charge any longer with articles from Twitter or the internet about Bernie. Thank you very much for your supportive messages, when I found good stuff to post about Bernie, but now consider me the first causality in this battle. I am done. I have removed myself from the group, thanks for allowing me post.
= new reply since forum marked as read
do it when they don't like the MESSAGE. We have all been attacked by them so please do not feel that you have to stop posting your WONDERFUL posts. You are one of my favorite posters here, you post some wonderful information.
Ignore them, most DUers have them on ignore anyhow.
All they ever do is search for something to stop conversation about the content. They constantly 'question' sources, but when asked if the INFORMATION is correct, they will not respond.
I'm sure nearly everyone here could name them they do it so often.
So you shouldn't let them get to you, put them on ignore and post what you have been posting.
I would miss your posts terribly if you stopped doing all the great work you have been doing.
by some of them. They SHOULD be banned for their personal attacks, it is a shame they are tolerated here.
But I never liked bullies so won't tolerate their bullying by allowing them to win.
Anyone who calls anyone good DUer a hater here should be banned. But sadly for whatever reason on this 'progressive, liberal forum' they are tolerated while good Dems are run off, banned, or just don't want to deal with the nastiness anymore.
I understand and won't try to persuade you to do something that is so personally upsetting. It used to affect me the same when I first started interacting with Bush supporters. They were so nasty I remember crying one day, wondering what I had to elicit such nastiness from them. Then I got mad and not only stayed, but it helped make me tougher. It was like going to political boot camp. To be honest what goes on here reminds me of them. And it's a shame, we should have higher standards on this forum.
Take care and I hope you will change your mind and post in this forum where they cannot get away with the nastiness but if you don't I understand.
get you down. Even if you have multiple sources that are well respected these same people will inevitably come up with some reason other than a logical discussion of the facts to try and dissuade you from posting.
Thank you for your wonderful support and posts.
I like your posts and will be sad to see you stop posting about the election. I get where your coming from though. Been thinking of quitting too.
Just this group. I will be posting in GD and in the Asian group more often.
desperate die-hards make a point to bring up irrelevant issues, obfuscate, twist, distort and attack on non issues and lies. I've even read that they organize and strategize elsewhere. I've been a target of them and have seen how they operate, to the point where I almost left, just last Sunday again! since I'm not the best at defense against their well practiced attacks.
Some here are able to effectively dismiss and call out their comments as false, immaterial or battle with truths because they recognize BS or they have counter facts. There's absolutely nothing 'wrong' with your great posts, they're only 'wrong' to those who consider Bernie their enemy. Please consider staying around in some way and at least sending links to another who can post, sort of like a team even for a while. We really need good people like you to help us fight for progress. 
The name isn't familiar but the *avatar is new which can be a sign of a returned member or a new identity as I've read here. That kind of thing is done on purpose to shock and hurt, and it's a well practiced technique. Plenty become just as turned off as you. On the other hand, others here seem to enjoy the battle of the keyboards and the back and forth dueling. That's not everyone's preference. Anyway, glad you shared this with us and it's regrettable. Stay well and if you return we will be delighted! 
Last weekend an OP I put up here casually was immediately attacked as I was on the way out to a family affair. When I returned hours later I saw where others here had got involved in the thread. The creep had been waiting for something to attack which was me and continued to harass others deliberately to disrupt and create conflict all day. Moderators came and told them to cut it out and they left.
Sometimes I post things that generate a lot of criticism. It comes with the territory. And sometimes I post things that I come to regret having posted. Same thing. I figure someday I will post something that gets me banned. But life will go on.
it does matter that the person who said, she said it, was a right wing hack, therefore, I must read a lot of right wing crap, and therefore I must be a troll. 
Hillary isn't the candidate, she's a candidate....support Bernie if you want and try to shrug off the negative folks who troll.
We need your voice and you have as much right to an opinion as anyone!
Koko de shuryo. Sorry, I am finished here.
For what it's worth, I really enjoy your posts (both the ones about the presidential race and the ones about Asia). I don't post very often either - often for the same reason. I don't feel like I know enough (about many subjects) and I don't like arguing. It is disheartening to see posters that I have liked and respected for many years suddenly seem so unhinged. It seems the primaries are bringing out the worst in people on DU. Hopefully things will get better after the primaries but I fear I will not be able to regain some of the respect I once had for some DUers.
They are BAD PEOPLE. I hope you will reconsider. 
I have had to do so on occasional.
But please come back. I value your posts. We value your posts.
We need to fight back against the STFU and vote bullies that a few of HRC's supporters are.
Here's hoping to see you out in the rest of the DU world! 
do your best.. ganbarreyo!
