(135,425 posts)insulted my character. I don't see you banning that individual, who repeatedly called me names while I refrained from responding in kind. Had that person not repeatedly impugned me, most of my replies that you are crabbing about wouldn't even be here. But hey, that's CONTEXT--and we can't have that, now, can we?
Is this a "fantasy baseball" type group, or is it a "real" group where people are honest about what's going on, here? This is not the "Warren For President" group--and I've not said one derogatory thing about her, because I LIKE HER, as I have said repeatedly. I have respected "safe haven" completely, and I rather resent your suggesting otherwise. I think she has a tremendous future, both in the Senate and on the national stage. Just because I don't think she'd succeed in a Presidential race doesn't mean I "disapprove" or "dislike" her (unlike disruptors to the HRC group, with their "Turd Way!" and "Keystone!" accusations)--and if playing the "Happy Happy Glad Glad Game" with regard to that chance is what is required here, the group is mis-named.
Perhaps you might want to petition for a name change, to Warren For President, if that's the charge of the group? That way, people like me, who think EW is just swell, who have contributed to her campaign, but who side with Barney Frank on her decision to NOT run for President, can avoid a "scolding" for daring to state what so many see as obvious?
Go on and ban me, then, if you must--I'm really starting to tire of this insistence that people be "banned" or "punished" for respectfully speaking their mind, anyway--it's impossible to have a frank conversation about what's real, and what is a pipe dream. I could see it if I came in here and called EW names, or mocked her in any way, or said rude things to the membership here, but I didn't do that--I simply discussed the article and the possible motivations behind it. POLITELY, too--in the face of personal abuse.
Nothing I said was untoward, so I'll take the "badge of honor" rather than be censored for saying nothing wrong.
Indeed, YOU can have the last word! Nice knowing you!
