181. Tell it to someone else. It's not my group. I didn't start it. I'm not a host of that group.

May 2015

You went out of your way to get banned and you were banned before I even had a chance to pm a host.

You alerted on an OP in group that consisted of absolutely nothing but a link to a Daily Kos article cursing at me in the alert. You posted in appropriately all over the thread. The jury called you out on the alert. I don't think I've seen anything lamer than that at DU. Except maybe this post of yours to me on this thread.

I'm wondering if you meet the requirements for the board, let alone the requirements for the group.
