I can't find the thread you mention, but I realize some people, not just Sander supporters, are calling the president rude names because he supports TPP and fast track authority. It's the nature of the "rooms" here that you can say anything nasty about anyone other than the candidate for whom the room is established, and anyone who criticizes you for going over the top is called out for being disloyal, a troll, etc. I don't really agree with this philosophy, but that seems to be the way it is. You have to realize there will be flamers in any group of people, even those who support a pretty mild-mannered candidate. We do need to point out that it's not good to criticize Democrats in certain ways, that we need to keep it civil, etc. but the rooms seem to be insulated against such reminders.
