I miss cali.

[Hiraeth]

:sigh:

[Autumn]

1. So do I. So many voiced silenced.

:sigh:

[Hiraeth]

5. So many others given back their voice

:sigh:

[daleanime]

10. And now allowed to continue...

No matter what.

[Hiraeth]

13. yeah. go figure

:scratches head:

[VulgarPoet]

58. As an administrator, the company one decides to give amnesty to is a sure sign of their beliefs...

...Make of that what you will.

[jalan48]

2. I do too. Will she be coming back?

She really helped lead the charge last fall when few were giving Bernie much of a chance. I hope all is well with her.

[Hiraeth]

3. April 26 ... not *too* much longer

[jalan48]

20. That's great to hear! Just in time for the stretch run.

[Hiraeth]

23. !

[cui bono]

50. Her account says active... why not until April 26?

[djean111]

4. I think only Hillary supporters were invited back.

I miss Cali, too.

[Scuba]

55. No, they let me back. Nine days early too!

[Ken Burch]

6. They banned HER? for what?

Cali is one of the most fair-minded posters I've ever seen on this board.

[Hiraeth]

8. Her transparency page.

[merrily]

14. Her page doesn't say she was PPR'd, does it?

[Hiraeth]

15. No. She is eligible to return 4/26

can't wait

[merrily]

17. So, no one knows why she and hifiguy were skipped over when all the others were invited back?

[Hiraeth]

19. another good question

[merrily]

22. LOL! Good to know I don't ask lousy questions!

[Hiraeth]

25. !

[daleanime]

26. No, your batting average is pretty good.....

[jillan]

24. Have you heard anything from her on the other site?

[thereismore]

30. All 5 hides were 4-3. Like all mine. nt

[Hiraeth]

32. interesting ... so close

[Jester Messiah]

18. Interfering with the coronation, obviously! n/t

[Kelvin Mace]

31. To be fair,

You couldn't pay me to do Skinner's job right now. From what I can see, the Admins are trying to keep a lid on the site and emotions are running high on both sides. Until recently, I could go weeks without being invited to a jury, but now I get multiple calls a day. I am a Sanders supporter and such is my bias, but even so, I have seen bad behaviour on both sides.

[Hydra]

54. Skinner made a bad call letting loose the Arkham residents

I've seen people with 11 posts on their transparency and still going. Meanwhile, others were not invited back.

The only comfort is that like citizens united, it's not having as much effect as we all feared it would. The disruptors are mostly getting ignores and the primary continues.

[Kelvin Mace]

7. Sorry to hear she's gone

Folks, we need to control our tempers and not be goaded. And yes, I know that sometimes we suffer an unjust verdict, but I would say that I cancel about 3 posts for everyone I post.

We need everyone on deck. To paraphrase Patton:

"No dumb bastard ever one an argument for his candidate by getting banned. You win arguments for your candidate by getting the other dumb bastard banned for his."

[Hiraeth]

11. !

[merrily]

16. As best I can determine from Skinner's most recent post on the subject, Cali should be posting now.

Just like all the rest who had 5 hides and were invited back.

There must be something I'm not seeing?

[Kelvin Mace]

27. Banning can be traumatic

We invest a LOT of ourselves in this board, and probably should not. So, even when we are invited back, we may wind up taking a break or not coming back. Hopefully the former, not the latter.

[merrily]

35. ? She was never banned.

[Kelvin Mace]

42. I may be using the wrong word

"put on time out"?

[merrily]

48. She's been on time out before---more than once as she has been

targeted, as screen caps from hillarysupporters.com that were posted here showed us. She's always returned - as soon as she was able.

I thought all those on time out were supposed to have been invited back, but apparently they were not. Cali and hifiguy don't seem to have been invited back. Neither do people whose account has supposedly been under review for months.

[merrily]

9. Thanks. I do, too. Why isn't she back, like the others who had five hides (and came back for more).

Does anyone know?

Hifiguy isn't back either.

I don't get it.

Was the get out of jail free and stay out card only for Hillary supporters?

And then there are those whose account is under eternal review.

[Hiraeth]

12. good question

[polly7]

21. Mine was under review for a long time, I think over a week ... I had to send an email asking to

be either allowed to post as a paying member, or for a notice I'd been banned.

I don't understand either why cali and hifi and others aren't back like everyone else.

[merrily]

36. The account of Demeter, to name only one, has been "under review" for months.

[polly7]

37. That's so unfair. nt.

[Hiraeth]

39. Demeter made excellent contributions to this site in the Economy Group alone.

Another big loss.

[Dragonfli]

28. I miss Cali very much, she contributed a great deal of cogent and intelligent content here

I don't understand why Cali is not back under the amnesty rule, when we have posters here that were "pardoned" some of which have over a dozen hides.

The highest I have personally seen was sixteen, but I have about a dozen of them on ignore and seldom check transparency pages as I am not obsessed with other posters. I only do that when someone posts something truly heinous and I jury them only to see them not get hidden.

[Hiraeth]

29. I don't understand either, Dragonfli but, who are we to question the mysterious ways

of the mighty Admin

[Dragonfli]

33. "Do not meddle in the affairs of wizards for they are subtle and quick to anger" /nt

[Hiraeth]

34. “Wizards are a secretive lot.” /eom

[VulgarPoet]

59. "Do not meddle in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy and good with ketchup." nt

[demmiblue]

38. I'm sure cali is able to post, but chooses not to.

Or, maybe she is unaware of the amnesty.

The whole stuck in DU purgatory situation is really strange. What's up with that?

[Hiraeth]

40. Her tranparency page is showing. She can not post until her oldest hide drops off which will be on

4/26

[demmiblue]

41. Anyone who has more than five hides has their transparency page showing...

but they are still able to post.

For example: http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=182288&sub=trans

[Hiraeth]

43. Some of us are more equal than others

yep

[demmiblue]

44. ?

I don't get it. People who have their transparency pages showing are allowed to post (including Bernie supporters).

Either cali doesn't care to post here anymore, or she doesn't know about the amnesty.

[Hiraeth]

45. Her tab is yellow the example you gave me is not.

I could be wrong but, I don't think cali can post until that tab is Not Yellow

[demmiblue]

46. .

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=182288

[Hiraeth]

47. interesting. thanks

[demmiblue]

49. You're welcome.

[riderinthestorm]

51. Her account status is active which means she could be here if she wanted to

I wonder if she's moved on...



I wouldn't blame her. She took a lot of crap here....

[Autumn]

52. Posters may now have 17 hides and still post

They did away with that rule.

[davidpdx]

53. I saw someone the other day with 10 or 11

The only REAL punishment is not serving on a jury. Then again maybe people with that many hides don't give a shit about serving on a jury. By the way this WAS a Clinton supporter.

[Scuba]

56. I hope she comes back. An asset to DU.

[Hiraeth]

57. yes. As is Dememter and hifiguy. sad.

[kiva]

60. I miss her posts also.

I've seen some ugly things said by posters with 12+ hides, but they are Hillary supporters.

[Hiraeth]

61. the double standard is mind boggling.

[TBF]

62. You and me both -

but we've got some good folks both here and at JPR. You've just got to ignore the newbies (especially the "concerned" ones who are pretending to support Bernie).

Cali's voice is certainly missed.

[Hiraeth]

63. I am glad there is a place: JPR

I will be there one day ... soon.

[TBF]

64. I check in here and there

but also spending time on Twitter. Honestly the Bernie campaign folks are mostly on Reddit and Twitter (especially the younger ones). My brain can't quite wrap itself around Reddit, but that's where the millennials are. And they are doing a fabulous job. This "longshot" campaign is starting to look quite possible thanks to all the digital work and Bernie's incredible energy level

[Hiraeth]

65. Just so glad to see it happening in my life time, to be a part of it.

He is the one and the time is now
