Figured that tonight was as good a night to get kicked out of Camp Weathervane as any.

First & last post there:

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1107&pid=39955

Interesting that Cha gave me the boot despite me not mentioning Hillary by name. No Hill-arious jokes, no "Camp Weathervane" talk for that matter. Just saying that voters deserve a say before we wrap-up this nomination.

Like Uma Thurman said in one of the Tarantino movies, "Well, that was... fun?"

And pretty much expected these results, honestly. But smug talk about Super Delegates makes my blood boil.

"Latest Threads" can be a minefield though. You might never know whose Wheaties you're pissing in before it's too late.

results when they're not hidden so you know when you've been alerted on; I usually forget to post these for other people, but I should try to make the effort more often).

I frequently juggle mine. Sometimes a fervent ideologue must nevertheless be removed from the list when an even more fervent ideologue completes a timeout.

IMO you should get a challenge for cause, not counting against your limit of peremptories, for a block. If DUer A has blocked DUer B from a group, then DUer A should never be seated on a jury considering a post by DUer B. That, however, is not the rule.

If Clinton doesn't win South Carolina by a large margin, there will be no comment that doesn't get alerted.

I don't even know what I said but it was BANG! ZOOM! I was outta there in a NY Minute. That person is a little scary. Does not tolerate dissent at all, none, zero, zilch, NADA. They'd do well in the PRNK.

There are supposed to be hundreds of us...they are vicious.

I think they are symbolic of Campaign Weathervane.

make yourself an actual Banned badge for your sig line.

Couple times I've found myself about to comment when I noticed where I was. Tempted to comment anyway and ask to be banned, but that wouldn't really earn the badge, would it?

I had just started to post at DU. Hill Group had a post about Hillary being 30 points ahead of Bernie. All I posted was that being ahead in the polls in 2008 didn't guarantee a win for Hillary. Cha booted me. You would think that since I was new here a warning would have been Cha's first option.

I guess they're still sore about 2008 over at the Hill group

Nothing alertable that I can see from you. The OP was a bit questionable, but I didn't feel the need to weigh-in.
