The GOS hits Peak Stupid

Every once in a while I get an itch that wants to be scratched.
It's similar to driving by a car crash and craning your neck to see if there is any blood and gore. We all do it, even if it doesn't reflect well on us.
In this case "my itch" is to check out the wrec'd list of TOP to see what sort of horrible, mangled, car crash of a diary landed there.
I'm not proud of this urge.

Look what I got in my email today....

My DK diary was censored?

I'm not actually sure. I got a message from admin that my comment "tip jar" was a violation.

Here's the link:

I'm going to paste the content here in case it disappears. I'd appreciate it if anyone can tell me if it's still visible to anyone but me.

A Beautiful Irony

A thought occurred to me after reading this panicky little screed by Markos.

With news that a pro-Clinton PAC is spending money to “push back against” online commenters attacking Hillary Clinton, this site has degenerated into the nastiest meta infighting I’ve ever seen. Worse than 2008’s Clinton v Obama battles, and (maybe) worse than 2004’s Dean v Clark v Kerry shitstorm.

I may get banned yet

I thought y'all might be interested to know that I left this comment in a Bern diary, specifically http://www.dailykos.com/story/2016/04/10/1513295/-#ImWithHer-Evening-Thread where I saw a lot of comments ridiculously disparaging of Bern. So far, it's just a hide rated comment (8 hides to 1 uprate, thank you yojimbo). I guess I won't know if it leads to "worse" until Monday.
