    He made personal attacks - it had literally NOTHING to do with his politics or anyone else's. Also, my2hands isn't a conservative.
    Let me repost that comment with instructions, as it's sometimes hard for tone to come across in writing.....

    Ahhh, lol. Don't forget about emojis, they can be so helpful. :lol:;)
    I figured the exclamation point would suggest I was doing a Hannity-type character. 

    Didn't really see his personal attack other than calling someone an asshole, so I don't really know what the situation was. 
    it was pretty obvious IMHO
    It still isn't obvious to me at all, even now that I know it was supposed to be sarcasm, lol.

    I thought there was a /s or a s/ that denoted sarcasm? Can’t keep up with all you whippasnappas.

    I would surmise that the DNC had 10,000x more involvement in influencing Hillary’s nomination than the Russians did with Trump. 
    Did you get a bunch of facebook ads lying about Bernie on your newsfeed?  My conservative friends continue to tag me in FB anti-HIllary memes that are completely untrue 98% of the time.  You're saying that Hillary and the DNC having a joint fundraising agreement in 2015 affected voting 10,000 to 1, compared to lies on social media.  Am I understanding you correctly?
    My theory is that the DNC promised Hillary the 2016 nomination and the Secretary of State position if she would drop out when she faced Obama. That is just theory but there were internal documents that proved the DNC was locking Hillary in and Bernie never had a realistic chance in a true democratic fight.

    You are also making a statement that the Russians affected voting 1:1.

    Heck, the DNC total involvement may be zero if that is still what 10000 x 0 equals.

    How can you tell?
    Scroll up to a post of his and click on his username. His forum profile says banned. 
    Permanently banned or just a time out?
    Well, considering there was a brief time out not that long ago, I'd guess this one will be a little lengthier...
    It's a hopeless situation...

    He made personal attacks - it had literally NOTHING to do with his politics or anyone else's. Also, my2hands isn't a conservative.
    Hasn’t stopped others. And my2hands is certainly not a conservative, like you say.

    well this place should be a lot less interesting.

    T'wasn't to me either, considering Trump's recent tweets.  I take him at his word though, and find it funny now.

    don't usually see overt attacks like that. mods hands are pretty tied with that one. 

    interesting wouldn't be the word I'd use.

    Plus I missed exact comment that got the ban. I know it wasn’t a passive aggressive name calling cause that never earns anyone anything.

    Yeah, those kinds of attacks are rare, and always bring consequences from what I've observed. I was surprised it was actually said, since it basically guaranteed a ban.

    My theory is that the DNC promised Hillary the 2016 nomination and the Secretary of State position if she would drop out when she faced Obama. That is just theory but there were internal documents that proved the DNC was locking Hillary in and Bernie never had a realistic chance in a true democratic fight. 
    She was losing to Obama, it was close but considering the pledged delegates, she had a very low chance of coming out.  I agree that Obama promised her the SOS, not the DNC.  There's a big difference there.  There's no way a potential president is going to allow the party to choose the most important cabinet member.  No way.  

    Second, I agree that if Sanders and Clinton were a literal draw or Sanders slightly up on pledged delegates, that the supers probably would have been tipped for Hillary.  I mean, after all she has been in the party, through thick and thin since the 80's. But I absolutely disagree that had the votes been reversed (55 to 44% for Sanders) that the supers would have gone fully for Hillary.  Even then, it's unlikely they could have overcome the pledged delegates.  

    It's always been sour grapes to me.  I'm tired of everyone blaming their preferred candidate's loss on  the media, the delegates, twitter, yes the Russians, etc.  This is true on both sides, it's a total victim culture in this country.

    I don't know whether there are warnings applied (e.g., "you're on thin ice and the next insulting post could get you banned) but if not, I'd definitely prefer to see some sort of suspension as the first action, barring threats, etc.

    There are normally warnings, yes (and apparently he's already been banned temporarily in the past)

    I have to agree, and it tripped me out a little, just because it was always so inconsistent with the activity in all the other forums, and with private communications. It was like dealing with two different people.
    But anyway... onward, lol.

    There was someone named Free here back in the Bernie days.  I received a warning or two over my interactions. I never called him a name or anything,  just being me. Kate was very fair and I knew I was walking a line.
