Having problems letting go ... and the double standard

[PJMcK]

26. I was blocked, too

I read postings from the Latest Threads page so I don't pay attention to the Group a posting is from. Recently, a poster referred to the president as "Barack" and I wrote, "that's President Obama to you." The Bernie Sanders Group Host blocked me for "attacking" a member in a "safe haven." My emails to the Host were polite and explanatory but she'd have none of it and instead projected some incorrect and angry attitude onto me. Ah, well.

I've been a member of DU since 2006, donated money when I could and a lifelong Democrat. My post count is low because I like to read and when I see the angry arguments, I move on because they're mostly pointless and without resolution. When raising my son I learned an important lesson: it takes two to argue.

Anyway, I now feel like I have a battle scar from the internal DU wars! The new rules will end some of these internecine fights.

Meanwhile, I'll vote a straight Democratic ticket in November.
