So.... What do you think about clearing out the block list?
This discussion thread was locked by William769 (a host of the Hillary Clinton group).
There are 830 people on the block list. Many have been there for a long time. DU has moved on to the GE and this time Hillary is the candidate.
I know that a lot of people have earned their way onto that list, but many are also long gone or are now Hillary supporters (possibly by default). I know you think I'm nuts to suggest it, but it's worth doing as a matter of good faith, mending fences, etc. If people cause problems you can block them again. And if they're really bad they will get tombstoned anyway.
So what do you think? Can we do it?

Mahalo!
Let's do it. At the disgression of the hosts, of course.
Nothing says that those who abuse the privilege can't be banned once again.
were/are good Democrats enthusiastically supporting their candidate. At times did they go overboard, yes, but I would bet many of us did as well. Release them. You always have the option of reblocking them if they can't get beyond their primary campaign emotions.
...in the Board at large. Then give most of them a fresh start.
I have my Block Mail list, which has grown to alarming proportions, but periodically I do update it to Full Block when someone gets PPR'd. 
As the atmosphere on DU simmers down I plan to delete a bunch of people from that list -- there's a lot of oldtimers I used to be able to have a civil discussion with, and it will help me forgive and forget.
