This is a Public Service Announcement.

[sheshe2]

The administrators of this site allowed us to form groups. Every group has a Mission Statement. Every rule is being broken here. You come into this group to spew crap. If I may say a word in their behalf, some have felt the need to take liberties in the African American group as well. In my mind, we are sister groups in a way. We both support black members. Ya, I know many of us are white in the BOG. Yet we support AfAm.

What happened in AfAm the other night, horrifies me. They were invaded and they were abused. It was ugly. They are silent now. They are gone. One of the biggest block of Democratic voters have left the board.

I ask you please to respect the groups. Please show us respect in our safe havens. If you must, if it is what you need then attack us in GD.

In the end I ask you to give us a small amount of respect in what we call our home.

Thank you.

1. Thanks, Sheshe. Healthy people have boundaries. This is no different. n/t

[sheshe2]

2. Thank you freshwest.

I am incredibly angry with what happened in AfAm. I am appalled at what happened there.

BOG, I thank you for that heads up. I am in no mood for this crap. Coolest Ranger gave me another...that poster was kind enough to delete after I posted to them. The BOG has become alive again with trolling. We were so quite for so long.

5. None of this is what I expected when I came here. Thanks for posting.

7. Hey Hoyt.

Happy 4th.

I am so tired of the crap Hoyt. The hides too. What happened in AfAm was epic. A safe haven was trashed. They were abused. The alerts did not work. The heavy lifting was left to AA.

BOG is being invaded as well. Safe havens are no longer safe.

Skinner. Interesting. The juries are stacked. Done deal and we have to live with it.

13. I don't understand how juries get stacked. I couldn't follow what went on as closely....

as I wanted to, but I was on one jury and it went 6-1 against the alerter. I also saw at least one other jury that went 7-0 against another bogus alerter.

I support AfAm where some of the members are posters I follow closely and get learn more and get a little less stupid from them everyday. 1strongblackman got a lot of abuse, but then he is a lightening rod even while he always tells the truth 100%.

I don't think its the jury system. I think its the loosely defined and evolving meaning of what "protected" means as it applies to a protected group.

I have mixed feelings about drawing juries out of a group where the alert came from. To me it could be more fixed than open juries.

21. Shouldn't juries represent the demographic of the general population.....

I judge on behavior not partisanship. The implication is generally speaking DU members are incapable of impartiality. Besides, while Bernie supporters are much more 'vocal,' my general feeling is there are a hell of a lot more Hillary supporters here. I trust them and have no problems with the system. I can't believe my fellow DUers wouldn't treat me fairly if I were alerted on. I've been alerted on three time - twice for two consecutive posts in a thread - and I deserved them. I made a comment on Ann Coulter that strictly speaking was insensitive to transgendered people and one on a police man's funeral during the spate of civilian shootings that was inflammatory and over the line.

I take jury duty seriously while I've alerted maybe four or five times.

Some people make big targets and I think that has happened a couple of time in the last few months. The better one is known and the more folks that one offends, the more likely one is going to get juried down.

Dayum cool pic!

[calimary]

11. Hear, hear, hear, hear!

There's just no excuse for what's been described here. There's no excuse for beastly behavior here against fellow DUers. I wish everyone would remember here that we're all on the same team. And we ALL want to make sure the Democrats keep the White House.

Frankly, that should be enough. That's MORE than enough.

Can't we all just keep our eyes on The Prize - rather than on each other's throats???

[sheshe2]

24. Nailed it calimary.

[mcar]

15. thanks she

I wasn't aware of that happening in the AfAm group. That is horrible.

[brer cat]

17. Thanks, sheshe.

The hate in DU is eating it alive. We have lost too many good people.

[sheshe2]

18. I may not be far behind.

Love so many people here. Yet posting here less and less.

[yallerdawg]

19. Get ready!

The holiday is over, and this president has no duck limping in him!

We are going to need you!

[sheshe2]

22. I have been here almost 4 years.

Not that long. I never used ignore. I have the sum total of three as of a month ago.

Tonight I trashed the BS group. I went to GD and she looks sweet. For now, I won't be here much, yet I am not leaving yallerdog.

Thank you so much. No way I am missing Obama's final time in office. Best President ever.

[Hekate]

28. A query...

I know how to trash threads, but how do I trash a group? Thank you.

[sheshe2]

29. Here Hekate.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=forum&id=1280 Top right corner. Hit trash group.

[Hekate]

30. Thank you. I expect....

....that I will feel more kindly to the candidate himself once I can no longer see the trash his so-called supporters at DU post.

[brer cat]

20. I have noticed

that you have fewer posts. Some days I feel like a battered spouse who just can't break it off, although the crap in HRC Group yesterday was about the last blow. Feel the hate!

[sheshe2]

23. You are such a sweetie brer cat.

I hear you too.

I'll still be here, just not as much for a little while.

[sheshe2]

25. Kick

[Iliyah]

26. K & R

Now I know why I have not seen lately the AfAm group. Well they are trying to do the same to any other group that doesn't lock in step with them. Invading a safe haven shows the lack of respect. But ya know what goes around does come around. LOL

Thanks for the beautiful thread. I'm one who is gonna post in threads I like and want to comment on.

[Hekate]

27. A thousand Recs, Sheshe.

How could DU mutilate itself so?
