Why in the devil was this OP hidden? It's a simple recap of the poster's reply to another anti-Hillary screed in GD-P.
No-one was named, much less insulted or maligned. Even the author of the referenced Huffpo article wasn't named. How much more FUBAR does the damned jury system have to get before Skinner and Co. make a move?

And, they have the nerve to talk about democracy with a small "d". Oh, the biting irony.

Once it's all over, we're going to clamp down pretty hard on the BS.

Thank you for highlighting this.. there were a bunch of our posts hidden in here today that were NOT against TOS.. just because they could.

They make me ashamed of the progressive label, if in fact they are such, as they claim.
Honestly, I don't believe real progressives would act in such a vindictive manner.
I get a distinct libertarian/anarchist vibe from a good number of them.

(15,445 posts)avoid showing any "schadenfreude" about their chagrin.
Some of them have been so vile, so toxic, that it'll be tough to forgive and forget. That said, the most obvious offenders will be long gone, thankfully. Good riddance to bad rubbish.

(15,445 posts)By appointing West as his surrogate and Rep. to the Platform Committee, is Sanders not expressing tactic approval of the man's politics and rhetoric?
What utter bullshite. The mind boggles.

(2,025 posts)I've noticed a lot of very innocuous posts being reported. I try to be as fair as possible, my instinct is not to hide, although I've probably hidden about two or three. There should be some sort of sanction for maliciously reporting threads, and if someone feels their thread has been unfairly hidden there should be some form of redress.
And, at the other extreme, some posters should be expelled after only one post gets hidden if it's extremely offensive.

(15,445 posts)Skinner (the head honcho and owner) has announced major changes to the moderating and jury system once the primaries are over.
Something has gone seriously awry and needs to be fixed for the perennity of the site.

(15,374 posts)many others are doing just fine. But I will be back before the CA primary and intend to be VERY vocal.
In the meantime, I am learning firsthand about the rise and fall of empires and the short-sighted ànd selfish concerns of Bernie-or-busters seem not only petty but stupid.

(15,445 posts)Never been on a forced time-out before either, but have had 2 "tagged for review" breaks in 60 days.
For using the expression "lily-white" to describe a certain demographic, for calling a certain candidate a "traitor" to his Senate colleagues, for comparing the hero worship of certain candidates on both the Dem and Repub sides, etc. etc. Ridiculous, risible hides.
Daily, we are subjected to dozens and dozens of anti-Dem and anti-Hill screeds in one OP after another.
I gave up alerting on anything long ago. Why bother?
