Rapprochement with the Clinton camp: Day 2. I'm clearing out my ignore list
Yesterday, my three posts centered around this theme of unity:

Olive Branches
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=132x5982147

Hillary will Endorse Obama
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5988000&mesg_id=5988000

and how I have faith in the intelligence of every Democrat to unite and vote for he party nominee
http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=132&topic_id=5976682&mesg_id=5976682

As a continued effort in my rapprochement with the Clinton camp (as a former Clinton backer and supporter on Super Tuesday), I am clearing out my ignore list.

The battle is over.
The time to lay down arms has arrived.

We are all brothers and sisters and will unite to push forward a progressive agenda.

Obama was not my first choice.
He may not be your first, second, or fifth choice.

But the time for vitriol, fighting, and carping at one another is long time past.

All is forgiven.

Hugs for everyone!

:pals:

7. I think the time to lay down arms has come and gone.
The family squabble is over.

3. good luck - but the snake is still going to bite you.
The irrationality runs too deep.

8. It surprises me how quickly it turns into "Don't tell me who to vote for, it just makes me dig in my
heels even harder." My children used to have that attitude, but they've mostly grown out of it.

I decided just a few minutes ago to stop responding to pro/anti hillary posts. I'm tired of it.

I hope everyone will support our nominee.

11. It is a good concept in the ideal,
but in reality it is rather like the disarming after WWI. Hillary has not yet conceded, and neither have her supporters or the MSM.

My ignore list goes down one week after Hillary concedes. From that point on, the mods can deal with the holdouts.

I have no wish to get caught up in last minute flame wars.

12. I wish there was an easy way to clear the list
but as far as I see it, with over 200 people on mine, it's going to take more time than I am prepared to spend right now. I think I will
selectively remove certain people, and do it in chunks, after June 3rd.
