ABOUT THIS ALERT

As a forum Host it is your duty to ensure that threads meet the forum's Statement of Purpose. You are empowered to lock threads which you believe do not meet the Statement of Purpose.

This one is interesting as I made clear on July 1 that we would allow Meta.

Please note the person who sent this has had FOUR posts in the group since January 1, 2015 - and they all took place on July 1 - again questioning "Meta".

The actual disruptor is the person who only shows up when it's convenient and isn't there when the chips are down.


How could we possibly lock Kurska's thread?

It is tone deaf and blind to ignore the fact that 1Strong was a host of the group.


Who/What is the disruptor here?

I'm begging the person who sent this - TRASH OUR GROUP.

[Kurska]

15. SMH this is absolutely ridiculous

The only tool they know how to use is the alert system to silence other voices. Did they really think the hosts were unaware of the threads? If the hosts want them gone they could have been nuked at any point. This is beyond stupid.

12. ...

[JustAnotherGen]

13. Hey!

You were in on that discussion on July 1.

We were both clear as day. I can't even believe this was attempted. *smdh*

[Behind the Aegis]

14. I can believe it.

We, for different reasons, are constantly reminded of "our place." It really brings home the point how we have to stand together, because when we don't, we are easy pickings. It is just a shame it is from people who claim to be "on our side." Personally, you and the others are doing a commendable job at handling the onslaught. The collective strength of the group is commendable.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

16. What's new, some folks here want us gone.

eom

[JustAnotherGen]

17. I'm kicking and pinning now

22. I have just issued a request to trash to "Bodych" in this thread

http://www.democraticunderground.com/118751947

Just issued a request to stupidicus in that same thread to trash the forum and not return.

Scootlaloo or whatever has been asked not to return several times as well.

[JustAnotherGen]

23. Thanks for the heads up!

[Number23]

24. Girl, I see you have been taking out the trash!!

Good job! I don't know why I keep trying to discuss and rationalize with these people.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. We were at a birthday party yesterday

Sorry to leave you guys to deal with this mess.

Hot mess.

With parmesan cheese and red pepper on top.

[JustAnotherGen]

26. Time and a half

As A paid Clinton surrogate you get $750 per block!

And I'm a meanie!

[mercuryblues]

27. can you hook me up with that gig?

I have a kid across country that needs surgery next month. I just started checking out airline tickets and rental cars. 4 blocks should cover most of it if I go cheap. 8 if I want 1st class.

[JustAnotherGen]

29. First

You have to swear to love the Corporate Oligarch Plutocrats.

Next - you have to give a blood oath to The Family.

Then - you have to flip a table - chair throwing is not a substitution.

Finally when you've done all of these things you have to dance naked around stones in Inverness Scotland.

If you use jazz hands and remember to point your toes - you get the job.

PS - a binder full of women can be used as a substitute for any of these as can pro creating with a bankster.

Now get out there and get to oligarching!

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

32. FUCK! LOL!!!!!

[Number23]

28. Thanks for the hat tip about that thread. I love all of the folks that have done nothing but shit on

black folks from sun up to sun down whining about how they've been banned here and how that's all because of their support for Sanders over Hillary.

Nothing WHATSOEVER about their hateful, disruptive asshattery some of which has been going on and has been documented with dozens of saved links FOR YEARS. Even newbies here who weren't around during the Prop 8 stuff know what's up which makes all of the protestations so precious and adorable.

[JustAnotherGen]

30. I think they are funny

[Liberal_Stalwart71]

33. I think they're full of shit.

[Number23]

31. Hoppy has been asked to not return to the AA forum

as per his post in this thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/118752506

where he noted that black voters are smart and informed and the ones that weren't voted for Hillary. He eventually self-deleted but not until at least six different posters informed him of how stupid, offensive and ignorant his comment was.

[JustAnotherGen]

34. Kick for heaven05

FYI . . . How we have managed things in the past. Let me or gollygee know if you think this needs an update!
