A mistake was made. I am genuinely fond of MaryM. I appreciate everybody who came to my defense and I hope to continue to be worthy of your support. Why can't we be friends?

(99,711 posts)The dispute in this thread was over a matter of fact. I like Mary and felt bad when several posters admonished her in my defense. That is 180 degrees different than our poisoned tete a tete in the thread you linked.

(22,271 posts)LOL! I'll try to remember what a delicate flower you are next time and tread more lightly.

(22,271 posts)is a little late. And funny how you guys completely ignore positive Sanders threads when the Hil Swarm invades. Selective viewing, I suppose.

(99,711 posts)I inadvertently followed a link to the Bernie group and got some blowback. She sent me a PM and said I was welcome to post there. But I stay out of all the candidate forums, all of them...

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"It's over fanboys" Over the top rudeness.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Oct 7, 2015, 07:24 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm a Sanders supporter... I say, grow a thicker skin.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I voted to leave it alone but this is not remotely helpful.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's childish but what are you gonna do.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's that season when (fill in the blank) Bluejazz
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: no ruder than what i've seen coming from sanders supporters and a lot of their rude posts are allowed to stand
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert is frivolous.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Damn ... Now I'm thinking of 13 year old, Baseball shirt, Stacks and Bell Bottoms (to the floor, covering shoes) wearing me, sneaking into my sister's basement party, after spending all day getting my 'Fro just right, to do the Bump with Cheryl (the only one of my sister's friends that would dance with Sister1SBM's little brother ... in public!) ... Sighhh
