Confused

There were 2 links on the main page about Hillary getting endorsed by the MI newspaper. I went to the link and said that of course the corporate media would support the corporate candidate, it would be a surprise if it was otherwise.
Now, I didn't think that was anything but obvious.
I got auto-notified that I had been blocked from the "Hillary" group and also that a jury found my reply "over the top, sexist" etc.
And I don't see how to respond to this they were both auto messages so you can't respond.
But come on, it is over the top and sexist to say Hillary is a corporate owned candidate? And a jury decided this and I have no reply to it?
If this is the case then links from that group should not be allowed on the front Home page of DU. You can't put something on the front page where you can get anonymously kicked out for a pretty simple statement. Groups that sensitive should not be put out front if they don't want to be main stream.

"It is not surprising at all that another corporate media backs the wholly owned corporate candidate. The real surprise is if they would back the candidate of the people, Bernie."

And you actually consider that post to be

"disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, "

You don't think that is being a bit too sensitive?

"Over the top" You have got to be kidding!

If you consider that to be over the top and hurtful, the links to this group should not be allowed to be on the front page because your group is Wayyyyy to sensitive.

The person who flagged this comment said it was
"Rude sexist attack. "

This comment had nothing to do with her sex. Give me a break. If you think that comment is sexist, you are way too sensitive and links to this hyper-sensitive group should not be allowed on the main page for the unsuspecting general public.

Give me a break.

The other day when she told that story of the little dog they taught to bark when people lied . . I knew that probably the right wing media would mock her for that, but I thought it was one of the nicest, sweetest things I have ever heard from her. It was genuine and sweet. I really liked it.

support him, donate to and campaign for him and ultimately vote happily for him. I think I speak for every member of the Hillary group.

A place where those who support Hillary can discuss her campaign and candidacy without being attacked by those who disagree. It's the same rule for the Bernie Sanders and Martin O'Malley Groups. I'm sure that you've noticed by now, but primary season can be rough here on DU. It isn't always this way...

but as the poster above says, you should figure out which forum you are posting in before you post. You can think of the home page as sort of the front page of a newspaper. When you see a topic, you may have to turn to that page to read the rest. You wouldn't head to the comics page to read the rest of a lead story.
