Thought it was just me being cranky. Then saw it was not just me.

You can PM us a clue.

I could use a hint...or a PM!

I think it was this thread.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7159165

And I'd like to say in advance to anyone alerting on or voting to hide this post: Go fuck yourself.

"Mission Accomplished."

Gee, who would have thought it coming from such an illustrious poster?

That thread attracted posters who gave bravenak tons of shit. Engaging in all sorts of contradictory finger-pointing and all-around jibba jabba.

Priceless. Love your style!

Leftofcool hooked me up to a different post!

your link is not much better....

Just denial and ass-covering.

I couldn't stop laughing. I think Trump wrote the letter. That's just as plausible as some of the ct posts. The writer says exactly who wrote it, a du member and Bernie supporter who is mad because a black woman has voiced her opinion. Sometimes you can't make this shit up.

If I had to bet, I'll bet that the nasty ass correspondent that caused this big kerfluffle in the first place is represented somewhere in that piece of shit! Either as a poster or a reccer!

I've never seen such frantic excuse-making in my life. But hey, this is watermelon and gefilte fish territory we're in, here...

Some people get a pass. Some don't.

the pathetic posts excusing, minimizing, conspiratorial thinking are mind-boggling and the hides are appalling, imo.

Poor Skinner, et. al.

It's a shame. Great site, wonderful software...but the hate is just OTT.

I still can't believe 6 sentient beings with functioning neural powers actually would vote to hide Sid's post. It's like objectivity is just gone and we have gone tribal as a society.

We've gone completely over the edge, and look who pushed us there!!!

The OP sure brings defenders to his threads, don't he?
Always plenty of hides...

who think it's great to attack President Obama for six years, attack Hillary Clinton as though she's the anti-christ, make callous jokes about black people and trash every democrat who isn't trailing far behind in the polls.

All the damn "race nagging".

zappaman.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

All the people who recced a thread--over 150 in this case -- are racists? That is a stupid, divisive attack. Protected groups should not be used as a place to trash other DUers.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Sep 12, 2015, 10:39 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: foolish alert in my opinion LEAVE irisblue
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: My personal guess is that the letter to bravenak was indeed sent by a right-winger. No Sanders supporter could have been so stupid as to think that a letter like that would help the cause. Nevertheless, at this point we're so deep into meta -- with threads referencing threads that reference threads -- it would be unreasonable to hide this post.

I'm flattered!
Looks like someone is looking through this forum, and especially this thread, for hides.
Who would do such a thing?

So it's alerted every time it's brought up I would wager.

The rush and concern to defend the presidential candidate and not the DU member who was threatened offline at her home. It just goes to show how out of touch with reality some people are.

It all comes down to your values. Yea, I'd like Candidate X to be elected, but bravenak is 10000000000000000000000000000000000% more important than that. I don't care what anyone says, those letters were stalking attempts. I totally get it.

Stalking, intimidation, harassment...that takes precedence over any candidate. Or so I thought.

Sanders is a fine candidate, Hillary is a fine candidate, same for O'Malley.
The issue is with the folks that have their ass in a knot about their own hurt feelings.

The person who is stalking Bravenak is an asshole. Who they support is irrelevant. It is about their own crazy bullshit.

Sums it up perfectly well.

Any of those three candidates would make a fine President. There's plenty of good folks who support each of those three.

That person must have more challenging problems than who is supporting who. I hope they get racial sensitivity or anger management treatment before they do harm to themselves or others.

Hopefully the letter writer takes their hate and leaves DU.

would be pretty rad.

Funny thing, I think a lot of posters here would actually be pretty forgiving and supportive of them getting treatment.

With them the best but um, I don't know think I could be forgiving for what they did. I can understand others doing so.

If the person went and got help, I'd be clapping. Very impressed.
