Whatever happened to Brooklynite?

This discussion thread was locked by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

I'm realizing I haven't seen any posts.

I'm guessing probably not a Mamdani fan?

That was the time Kamala took over as nominee. There was a glut of posters that left DU and/or got banned right after that for slamming the Democratic Party. Wonder if he got caught up in it.

Happens when you have at least 5 posts hidden in a short period. Not banned, but you can't do anything, and most accounts just sit there forever.

It was very obvious for many years what he was up to.

Then, his sock was banned.

Can't imagine what he did to get banned - he was here long enough to know the rules
