REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Abusing posters because of short time on DU is against the rules. It also reads as if the individual is calling out the OP as a troll
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 21, 2016, 08:40 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sometimes the truth hurts.

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Is this really what we've become, a place where one can take off his boots and tread on us as if with smelly socks?
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

(3,146 posts)I mean, I should have the right to post the stats of someone who just signed up 4 days ago and has over 600 posts, all of which are antagonizing. Especially since we know that the CTR Pac has dumped $1million into creating an online army to combat anti Hillary posts. It's so obvious that we should all be alerting these people. Instead here in upside down world, I'm the bad guy for pointing out the fact that we've been infiltrated by these charlatans.
Matt_in_STL
(1,446 posts)I have seen posters who have been here a week and post OP after OP minutes apart, all antagonistic and with very little substance.
Ned_Devine
(3,146 posts)My question is; who's alerting on me for posting these stats?

I am a former Bernie supporter. I know first hand how some have behaved. Sadly, it has developed into a pattern. After awhile patterns become a standard way.

Tavarious Jackson
(1,595 posts)I was a Bernie supporter. Donated more than I could afford. As I was struggling to get by I started paying attention to how he was spending the money people donated to him. I was uncomfortable with the fact that I cut pleasures to give to his cause only to see the massive miss management of money. That was my first feeling of supporting the wrong candidate. More concerns came after that but Arizona was the last of it.

(27,815 posts)... you're supposed to believe that BS and his supporters have been the "victims" in every state that Bernie has lost.

Inconceivable!
Tavarious Jackson
(1,595 posts)these days. I don't remember the 08 campaign. I love Obama but believe the bullying may have happened then too. People go to great lengths to stop a strong woman. I am not talking about Obama, I am talking about his supporters and campaign. I can't say it happened or didn't happen. I can say that people still today go to great lengths to stop a strong woman from success. Hillary has been pushed more than any man has ever.

(15,512 posts)on a good day . . .
p.s. and I agree, Boxer, Hillary, Chelsea, DWS, Roberta Lange and etc have all been mercilessly bullied in a way that Obama wasn't, though Michelle caught a lot of nasty flak in the press. Nothing like what they did to Boxer tho which is deeply disturbing.

They used to be a really good site, I used to follow them in my blog roll and on facebook until they completely changed over night around 9 months ago. I think they were sold and bought.
Just a FYI though, I wanted you to know. The rest are fine.
