need to stop posting for a bit.

i have two hides this week. i have been here since 2004 and have 12,000 posts. i have only been alerted on a few times and never hidden. until this week.

the agenda is clear. and as much as i prefer jpr these days i do not want to get tombstoned.

so take care all, see you at jpr

peace, everyone

After 11 years, no hides no alerts, I had two hides in one day! There are some real crazies out here! Hang in there. Are they even counting hides right now?

there is a clear effort afoot. i don't know if the rules have changed but i dont want to get to five hides and find out.

will still read and rec, but gonna post at jpr for now.

clearly we are trying to be silenced by some who feel a new found freedom since the amnesty.

sucks.

Check back. Maybe someone can clarify for us. I have read that people see folks with 10+ hides. I don't know how that happens. Either way. NGU! I have been encouraging folks to serve on juries to balance out some of this. Before my two hides I never did jury because I thought the whole idea was stupid. Now, I give it a listen and go with that. Have a good one and don't let the crazies get you down!

I just created an account. I don't have any hides, but it sounds like a good forum. I'd like to see the banned DU-ers. Is Cali over there? Anyone know?

be placed under review and, sometimes, the "review" seems to be permanent.

Demeter, for example, has had her account under review since December.

no more suspensions for hides. I can't imagine any board owner giving up the right to ban.

I believe that at least one of the "returned" after the amnesty is has been under review for the last couple of weeks.

You're safe.

Just hang out in here.

I haven't posted in GDP since Super Tuesday #1. I don't engage with the unreasonable crowd. They aren't worth the effort.

I post in both places. DU's software is great, no question, but this is DU version 3, after 16 years; one of DU's is a software genius and Skinner's skills are no slouch.

I, on the other hand, have zero skills. I am ashamed of how much I do not know. I do fine at JPR, though. If you need any help with basic stuff, pm me. If it's anything I can't help you with, there's a feedback and support forum where everyone is very helpful.

Finally, they are working on version 2 now.

its a great forum where we talk about bernie and politics, and share ways to help with the campaign.

many bernie du ers have ended up there either by choice or by being tombstoned. its a friendly place...you should check it out!

you will recognize people..many of us have kept our du names.
