Sometimes everybody seems to love our independent supporters and other times it "throw the bums out". All depends who's up for jury duty!

Doesn’t say much for consistency or professionalism.

Regardless of content is open to being flagged...

If someone is harmful to Democratic causes, you know it.

At least, I do, lols.

Some justified, some not.

It seems some Dems are off limits to criticize and others are fair game. And criticism of one Independent has even caused someone I know to be booted off DU. Seems to be a some wiggle room but like you and others have mentioned it just takes one to flag and then it's up to a non voir dired jury to hide your post. And then not much of process to appeal hide.

I know I've held my tongue a few times about posting a comment negative towards a certain Independent but cancelled it not knowing the rules. Thus the OP. And I'm still pissed at Maine for not enabling King to be their senior Senator!!

This phrase stands out to me. This should be able to be used in any appeal. But from my experience appeals are useless. I know for sure (well, from my memory anyway) none of my hides used "viciously denigrated" language.

And I absolutely disagree with the sentence: "Constructive criticism" is welcome. My experience has shown me otherwise.



But yes, Thanks for your reply.

you are aware, I don't want you to get into trouble, that's all.

And I am assuming this is a help forum to get questions answered and not a discussion forum per say. But yes, the whole walking on egg shells sometimes sucks.

not that that would matter much for some of what's in this thread, which goes beyond asking for help.
