On edit: I posted once in the BS group and was banned, it was a very innocuous post, but they want to live in their little bubble, so be it.


That is messed up. I must have been lucky on my post or it was in the general forum where I told the guy to tone down. THen again with your icon, they may have cared less about what you said and just attacked. The groups seem like such a bad idea, or seem to people that ban for bad reasons and create bubble worlds that can only hurt us (like Fox news did before, and all of them seem to do now). I would complain but saw a guy get banned for calling out the group...which is why I tried to be on my best.

I do wonder if there are people on the forums, Whenever there is an attack that seems like a right wing attack, like attacking Hillary for Whitewater (not saying if there is or is not truth in it, but not something someone would attack with unless they had been listening to talk radio too much), attacking Bernie as a Communist or a non democrat, or attack Jane Sanders as is the recent one I do think they may be a plant. That story matches what I have feared, and the shallow lines like the image of Marge in money always bug me like the Pinocchio WaPo ones, they are shallow attacks. That is why I think the groups need better mods, or need to get locked, or hidden, they are the places you will find these people, not in the open where they can have the light shined on them.
