The original thread was here. I advise you to peruse it:

(135,425 posts)A tweet having nothing to do with the race?
Who makes those rules?
If Chelsea Clinton posts something about her kid, does that go in GD-P, too?
smh.
The original thread had some childish and vicious comments in it. What is wrong with people?? I'm sure their chosen candidate (and I have some questions about who that candidate might 'actually' be) is just thrilled with their behavior!
The bitter is strong with some!

Their marriage is their's alone. Their choices are their's alone. I respect their privacy and just celebrate that they are together and happy together.
And will still vote for my candidate in the caucus.

(135,425 posts)not a candidate's campaign.
It was a GD topic, not a GD-P one. It wasn't about the Democratic Primary....but I see how things roll around here.

(115,677 posts)about the primary. Locks do not count against a duer like hides do.
A better place to address this might be in ATA.
MADem
(135,425 posts)A former POTUS made mention of his wedding anniversary. The thread was trashed and locked and directed over here.
Now there's a move afoot to run it out of here, too.
If that doesn't stink on ice I don't know what does.
Hosts don't have any authority over ANY post below the one that starts the thread in the Big Forums. I think that hosts need to get correct and understand that.
I also think it might be a good idea to have term limits for hosts in the forums. A little fresh air during a contentious season can't hurt.
uppityperson
(115,677 posts)Again, if more duers volunteered to be Hosts, the waiting list would be longer and it'd take longer to get back on once the 90 day term is over. Get more duers to volunteer as Hosts and it won't be an issue.

(20,176 posts)This has nothing to do with Hillary Clinton's campaign for President beyond Hillary being the wife of the former President celebrating his wedding anniversary. Claiming this is a GD topic seems like a stretch to me.

Thank you.

Some OPs are more equal than others.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)It's broken.
uppityperson
(115,677 posts)zappaman
(20,606 posts)They can get right back in line after 90 days.
If there's no waiting list, they are right back on.
Yes, sometimes they have a week break.
How about 90 days on, 90 days off?
uppityperson
(115,677 posts)a longer wait list. Have you volunteered? Are you hoping for there to be very few Hosts rather than 30? Why?
How about more people volunteer rather than blocking those who do?
zappaman
(20,606 posts)Like the hosts who continually sign up to NOT participate unless one of their buddies is under discussion and suddenly...BAM...there they are with a "strong leave".
I'm not the only one to notice it.
uppityperson
(115,677 posts)whether Host or mirt. Many try to keep the greater DU issues out if those forums, but there are enough who don't to make things difficult at times. I've volunteered as a Host before but not very and to finish out the 90 days because of that, this time I am working hard to do so. It is too easy to bring other things into the volunteer moderation forums, is a good skill to practice not doing so.
I wish more duers volunteered for Host and MIRT.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)It seems like grudges are left at the door.
Of the many terms I've done at MIRT, only one person abused it and was not invited back.
They, of course, are one of the "permanent hosts" I talked about...
uppityperson
(115,677 posts)One of the reasons I stay out of threads about the primary and have not declared who I back is because I want to be able to be a good host/mirt volunteer rather than get into nitpicking arguments. I know, I am "special" (said with a smile).

(36,855 posts)The hosts won't lock it if it is not alerted on.
Edit: I just alerted on that post. We will see what happens.
MADem
(135,425 posts)Now you're advocating that it be run out of here, too?
I don't think it belongs here, but I also don't think it has to be relegated to a partisan corner of DU.
This is a tweet from a former Democratic POTUS--not a candidate for office. It should not have been booted from GD, but some topics are more equal than others, apparently.
demmiblue
(36,855 posts)My response was to sufrommich and the link she provided in her post.
Get a grip and stop making up shite where shite doesn't exist. Can't say I am surprised, though.

one_voice
(20,043 posts)the original thread shouldn't have been locked. Unless Bill & Hill are now running against each other; this has nothing to do with the primaries and belongs in GD.

(17,663 posts)Back in those days, pot was not exactly mainstream...
I was at college parties with joints all over the place....lots of peer pressure to smoke....so, I took the joint, pretended to smoke...but I didn't inhale!
Same thing a few years later at a Stones concert in Madison Square Garden....took it, and pretended....
Entirely plausible....

I honestly cannot remember ANYTHING that the Clinton administration did about it.
Perhaps you can refresh my memory?
zappaman
(20,606 posts)Guess I'm not as informed as you.
ish of the hammer
(444 posts)Point stands.
zappaman
(20,606 posts)Usually people know how to spell something they find important.
ish of the hammer
(444 posts)I did not see the movie, I watched it in real time on the TV.
And, again, I cannot remember anything the Clinton administration said or did.
If my misspelling of the name proves anything, it proves that people make mistakes.
So prove my memory is wrong. That the Clinton admin did the equivalent in "Rowanda" as they did in Bosnia.
And to tell the truth, I don't want the Clinton's administration INACTION here to go down the memory whole.
