By the way: I may be TOed, but one power they haven't managed to take from me: My ability to reblog things to RBTF. It may be the one thing they've left me. So if you're wondering why a diary you may have liked suddenly showed up on RBTF, and nobody 'fessed up to reblogging it: It was me.

And now we have visible proof the worm has turned - look, Ma, a readable RecList! (click to embiggen) Considering that the Berners' time to run riot was at night, and this was screenshotted Sunday morning (i.e., a few hours ago), that half the diaries are good 'uns tells us something. So does this: look, site traffic took a slight upturn after Kos' edict and stayed higher than any other weekend so far this year! (In other words, the folks who stayed away during the Reign of Terror are slowly coming back - slowly, mind you, just tiptoeing in to see if things are getting any better.)

Yeah, but their hearts aren't in it anymore. And I've been seeing diaries by many people - including at least one Bernie supporter! - who are so very, very glad to have their old DK back. (Well, not until March 15, but still.)
By the way, if anyone is interested in posting any diaries or posting in any safe threads, I'd really appreciate it if this could be posted:

Heh. Apparently cheering on Kos' stated plan to take out the trash gets one Bojoed.
Which is exactly what I expected.
My prediction: Not a single person who deserves it will get whacked in the Ides of March. Instead, now that they've been warned, they'll all play nice diary-wise and continue gang-flagging Hillary supporters, and hold off on the crap diaries until after Election Day - at which point they'll let 'er rip and Kos'll wonder why no major politicians want to hang out there anymore.

I suppose we could go to The Confluence and have Riverdaughter (ex-Goldberry) berate us for not leaving with her in 2008!

riverdaughter.wordpress.com/I don't read it or participate because the idea that they're in exile is silly, and like I said above my impression was that ex-Goldberry resented that some of us didn't follow her out of Daily Kos. Speaking of which, I'll go back after Clinton is elected, or after the smarmy elfling is no longer running things, but not before. She think's she's controlling access to something of great worth, but she's wrong.

Never mind, just found it.
Left a couple data driven messages but I think I'll pass until after Hillary has the nomination locked up. Riverdaughter's convinced Hillary's doomed and nothing is going to change her mind at this point until she hears Bernie's concession speech. (Which is probably going to be as toxic as Teddy Kennedy's 1980 speech, but hey!)
[EDIT: Hey, I can edit my comments! What a nice change from the Snake Pit!
Yeah, now that I've been over there I see what you mean. Which is why I'm going to stay away from this point forward. Ga6thdem is trying to talk sense into her but she's not amenable to hearing it.]

She think's she's controlling access to something of great worth, but she's wrong. I think elfling's a he, but I could be mistaken. Otherwise I'm in complete agreement. By the way: I could make a big stink out of the fact that elfling banned me out of sheer sleazy pique, being as nothing one says in a public Help Desk thread is supposed to count against one (and I didn't say anything flagworthy anyway). But I'm no longer interested in going back to a place run by whim and pique. Honestly, even end-stage FDL was better than this because at least FDL's hijackers couldn't ban anyone; all they could do was clog the Rec List and be obnoxious to people and drive them off that way.

I hope you'll come back sometime. I get that you're mad, but maybe after everybody cools down you can appeal. If not, that's cool. I'm trying to check in here more.

I can't come back even if I wanted to, elfling hates me too much for that. No matter, I'm having fun on Twitter, which can't be gamed the way DK can. As poor dhonig and northanger just found out.
