For those peeking: FTR, I'm not "fuming" about Rosie O'Donnell. I'm not even worked up about it. It does, however, seem simply bringing up a news story comes across as being persecuted now.  Is there a reason some like to read here, and report back on the Trump Catch-All thread what's being discussed?  I really shouldn't bother responding, but are you seriously asking this in the same post you reported what was being discussed on the other thread. So, is there a reason you like to read there and report back here? |

eh, it's just human nature. without taking the time to search, I think I recall the same was done on this thread about the other I don't recall if it was done here. Whether it was or wasn't, it's just so bizarre to openly talk about people without talking to them. This kind of corresponds to the post above, you are doing exactly what you are criticizing. |

As previously stated, this thread is for conservatives to talk without any talk back or discussion that doesn’t agree with the Conservative point of view. Hence it being discussed on the thread where everyone is welcome (whether they believe it or not). And topics started over on the other thread have absolutely been brought over here. I'm not talking about the "topics" being discussed on separate threads. I'm referring to reading something on this thread, and then going back to the catch-all thread to report what's been said here. It smacks of talking about people behind their back, but not, because it's an open board (if that makes sense). |

She brought it up and I mentioned that I read it here because that is where I first read about it. Again, I would have posted my thoughts here but I was trying to be respectful of what this thread is. I suggest that we both respect the intent of this thread and either let this go or continue our day discussion on the other thread. |

I don't jump from thread to thread pointing out what's being said here or there. I've seen it done numerous times on the catch-all thread, and I clearly remember a time when someone took the time to post screenshots from this thread and post on the catch-all thread. Why? If someone wants to respond to what I've posted, it's easy enough to do it directly. How about give the person being discussed the opportunity to respond? This seems to be an ongoing theme, and it's silly. I don't recall that happening here |

And it is a stretch to say it was being discussed with just a few posts. Your complaint about it being discussed did generate a few more. As to the Rosie story, I do think it is a reminder for all of us to pay attention to how much we are donating. When you donate a little here and a little there, I can see how it would be easy to unintentionally overcontribute especially using online donation sites. |

So are we in this thread ‘fuming’ about Rosie? That’s funny if that is the take away. That is not how I’ve read the few Rosie comments at all. |

Give those being referenced an opportunity to respond where the conversation was taking place. 3.

No one forces you to read both threads. If you don’t want to know what we’re saying, don’t look.

Have a nice day. That would be the Left that told us to "get off their threads" and it's part what lead to the idea of a thread for conservatives. |

The Rosie thing isn't a big thing to me. Yeah, she should have known better. And yeah, the receiving end should have refunded the money. I, too, would expect that if I was using a online platform to raise money that the platform would tell me if I was donating too much. I know when DH and I have been to political fundraisers that we have always been told how much we could give (collectively) so I would expect (from my experience) to be told when donating online.
Now, if she was donating millions over....ok. Then we have a problem. But right now, I think it can be chalked up to not paying attention (and Lord knows I cannot stand the woman and don't defend her most of the time).

FYI all campaigns have a mechanism for refunding money - it's actually more common than not, particularly if they're raising money for a race that includes a contested primary. They will accept donations for both the primary and general and then refund the money for the general if they lose the primary. I've "over" funded for 3 different presidential candidates - what can I say - I keep picking the losers in the primaries. In all cases, they just sent me a check for the money that would have been applicable to the general election.

I've been watching this (cross thread insulting for lack of a better phrase right now) happen for quite some time, and I've kept quiet. Today I didn't. I just went back and read the 12 pages of posts on my catch all thread looking for the “cross thread insulting”. What I found that has to do with this thread specifically were three posts. 1. A post about how quite the Conservative thread was. There was no response to this comment. 2. A poster brought over the CNN article about the judge who asked Mueller’s team a bunch of questions. She said she read it on the conservative thread but other than that nothing further was said specifically about the conservative thread. 3. Acknowledging the conservative thread was also discussing Rosie O’Donnell and her donation fiasco. No where in any of these three posts did anyone specifically insult anyone posting on the conservative thread. Now if you are talking about folks on my other catch all thread voicing their unhappiness with the right in general as “cross thread insulting” then you are overreacting. The reality is there will be the same topics discussed on both threads. And maybe a poster that normally posts on my catch all thread will see a topic on the conservative thread and think it’s a good topic in general to discuss & bring it up on my catch all thread. Doing this is not “cross thread insulting” but acknowledging we are not welcome to post on the conservative thread so we have to post elsewhere if we want to talk about it. |

Your newest catch-all thread is only a week old. I said this has been going on for a while--your threads have been going on since I believe right after the election. Does it happen every day? No. It's happened enough to notice. I don't care what people discuss. I don't care where they discuss it. I wouldn't care if Rosie O'Donnell was being discussed in every single thread on the board right now. That's not the point. Were members with a differing opinion specifically told do NOT post on this thread, period? I seem to remember this as conservatives wanted one place for discussion without getting into heated disagreements, and people wanted the tone to remain respectful. I have no recollection (or I missed) if people were told to stay off. I know there's been some debate on what your catch-all thread's purpose was (at least early on I took it to be for anti-Trump/whatever and respected that) and that's why I choose not to post there. If there's been a separate thread started on a specific one-off topic, I'll post on that. (***eta*** The conservative thread and what is or is NOT being discussed has also been brought into those). I'm not saying that's what everybody else has to do, it's what I do. And I'll also respond to someone directly. |

I really shouldn't bother responding, but are you seriously asking this in the same post you reported what was being discussed on the other thread. So, is there a reason you like to read there and report back here? Yes, that's exactly what I'm doing, lol. I read a lot of threads here, even the catch-all thread. I don't jump from thread to thread pointing out what's being said here or there. I've seen it done numerous times on the catch-all thread, and I clearly remember a time when someone took the time to post screenshots from this thread and post on the catch-all thread. Why? If someone wants to respond to what I've posted, it's easy enough to do it directly. How about give the person being discussed the opportunity to respond? This seems to be an ongoing theme, and it's silly. I don't recall that happening here People posting screenshots of another thread onto "their" reminds me of the old smack blog. Also, did anyone say that liberals could not post here? I thought it was open to all, but people needed to be respectful, which appears to be asking too much from some people. |

I'm not saying that's what everybody else has to do, it's what I do. And I'll also respond to someone directly. Right in the op it states that this thread is for Conservatives to discuss politics. Seems pretty clear to me. Here it is since everyone seems to have such a hard time believing that non Conservative peas were asked not to post here. Granted, the op does not explicitly say that we are not allowed to post, but as it has been said MANY times we (the liberal we) are trying to be respectful of the spirit of this thread and are not posting dissenting opinions here. And by dissenting I mean non Conservative opinions, not implying you are all in agreement all the time. “ I mentioned in another thread that I have been thinking of starting a Conservative thread sort of like the Trump Catch-all thread where we can discuss current events and politics just amongst us conservatives. Many liberal Peas have been kind enough to say they'd like to read it but will not post.” |

I'm not saying that's what everybody else has to do, it's what I do. And I'll also respond to someone directly. From page 27 of this thread... “ I haven’t necessarily abandoned this thread, but, obviously, there are a few from the opposing side of the fence who can’t seem to respect this thread as a place for us to talk amongst ourselves. I can’t see the liberal catch-all thread unless I log out, but have conservatives or Trump supporters invaded that thread? Is there some sort of ‘payback’ going on that I can’t see?”One poster made a comment on trump catch all thread that has since been taken out of context. When I started part 11 I made it clear that the trump catchall thread was not like the quote above. That all are welcome to post. However I would call anyone out who spread misinformation as facts. It’s people willing to spread information without checking it first that made the Russian troll’s job that much easier. What it isounds like you and others are looking for on this thread is an echo chamber, in other words, those with opposing views need not post. Anti trump thread as respect his actions and his words, not some made up stuff to justify not liking trump because Hillary didn’t win. There is a difference, a big difference. What surprised me is how many conservatives on this board rushed to defend trump by maintaining he was no worse than previous presidents. Here is a question that I would love a conservative to answer. It seems more than a few read the trump catchall threads. Do those who do, disagree with the items we post that trump has done or said? Does anybody who reads the thread agree with the actions taken by the GOP Congress that seems hell bent on protecting trump? Do they honestly think the Mueller investigation is a witch hunt and trump has done absolutely nothing wrong? What has been said on the trump catchall thread that is made up? |

I rarely post. I have read this whole thread and a lot of the other thread. I believe the only "rule" about posting here is don't be mean. Feel free to post dissenting opinions as well as like opinions. Just don't be a mean girl. I don't recall anyone telling anyone not to post *at all*. Just be respectful. If I am wrong, I'm really sorry. Just my take on the situation!

I mentioned in another thread that I have been thinking of starting a Conservative thread sort of like the Trump Catch-all thread where we can discuss current events and politics just amongst us conservatives. Many liberal Peas have been kind enough to say they'd like to read it but will not post. I am pasting a post by lucyg that outlines "rules" for their thread that I think would be good for ours as well.

I want to be clear). Please, I am begging all of you, DO NOT respond to her. Let her post her challenges and disagreements, and ignore it. Let it go. Move on. These catch-all threads have been a great source of information as well as a good place for us to vent our feelings. Please do not allow her to derail the thread and please do not derail it yourself. It is not necessary to engage. Thank you. This thread is not for name-calling of other Peas or gossiping about them and their opinions. It's OK to glean topics from other threads, but not necessary to tag or name anyone else when doing so. For instance, you could copy a link someone has posted in order to discuss the subject of the link but not to deride another Pea's opinion about it. I fully understand that I can't control what people post, and I have no intention of policing or hostessing this thread. I am going to tag a bunch of Peas who I believe lean conservative and who might enjoy participating in this thread. I mean no offense by either inclusion or exclusion! @gajenny #notLauren @gialupea samiam sunraynnc donnie Darcy Collins gmcwife1 kibblesandbits ricky loco coco freebird anmore Now, what should we talk about first? THE memo? (I'm still processing all that mess.) The stock market? (ARGH!) What Melania wore today? (kidding!!) “ Pretty clear, this thread is for conservatives. With that, I will not post here anymore, but it is pretty funny that so many people here are denying this thread is only for conservatives when that is exactly what the original post says it is. |

There were many posts in the middle somewhere saying everyone is welcome if you can be civil. Including the OP saying it. |

I do think it's funny being that it is Rosie ODonnell who has been vilified and attacked by people on both sides of the political aisle (POTUS included) I absolutely will not argue with that. Trump has been vicious against her and I will not defend it. |

Yep, I started this thread for conservative-leaning Peas to discuss politics. Yep, I borrowed "rules" from the Trump catch-all thread -- notice "rules" was and is in quotes, meaning that there really are no actual rules to either thread. Those "rules" were simply a jumping-off point for this thread, nothing more, nothing less. Threads are organic, and this one is no exception. No need for anyone to be militant about the "rules." No one, other than admin, can control who is allowed to post where, and I made it clear more than once that I had no interest in controlling who posted what. Yep, I said I don't regularly read the Trump catch-all thread, and I don't. I have seen it in the past, obviously, and it is of no interest to me.
Just because I started this thread, I don't feel responsible for calling out anyone, on either side, for saying mean or foolish things, and I don't have the time nor desire to do that. Sometimes I'll comment and sometimes I won't, and whether or not someone thinks I'm commenting consistently and fairly, I really don't care.
Now I have laundry to transfer to the dryer, chickens to feed, and a blog to write a.k.a. life. I hope everyone, and by everyone I mean everyone, has a wonderful day.

I hope your day was great. I'd love some chickens to feed, but my neighbors would probably give me fits!! |
