I've been trying to have a reasonable discussion with a few posters on varying subjects (tenets of marxism, for instance).
But this is becoming impossible as any reply I make is being HR'd by a small cadre of haters.
For instance, arbiter and Clarknt67 both HR'd my statement distancing Socialism (a necessary social construct) from Marxism.
But I had a minor in Russian history, and have spent a lifetime furthering my education in that area.
Lenin used terrorism (to gain power) and forced famine (to hold power and industrialize), both of which he rationalized using Marx's philosophy of violence and aggression as the natural state of man (and of course animal).
If you don't know this, then you either need to 1) study or 2) stop being a shill for a philosophy that killed 60 million people.
Socialism does NOT equal marxism. Socialism is needed, marxism is inhumane crap, IMO.

They both found this HR-worthy.
sneakers563 tried to engage me on this subject, but unfortunately I could not answer as I would be HR'd.
arbiter has been following me around lately, I guess it's nice to have a fan, but when I can't even post something like this without being HR'd, it becomes a nuisance.
I still believe in him (Obama)...but I'm very sceptical these days.
But I'm going down the same path you've apparently already travelled. I hope the prez will do something to pull me off that path.
but he better hurry.

I would ask the community, what about that post is HR-able? That I'm becoming sceptical of Obama's effectiveness? If that is a mortal sin on DKos, then I would say that I'm not alone, as this mindset is very pervasive these days.
So again I ask, why is the HR-able?
I would also ask Meteor Blade or any other admin to remove arbiter's and Clarknt67's TR status. There are also a few others, but as I can't see those posts anymore, I can't remember who it was who HR'd them.
Anyway, admins PLEASE DO SOMETHING to stop those who would stifle debate. That is for Red State, not for a free and open society like Daily Kos. HR abuse like that employed by arbiter and his little circle of Cheneys is not good for the community, and drives many away. It won't drive me away (I wouldn't give him the satisfaction) but this kind of thing DOES drive many away.
Thanks

UPDATE: The HR abuse on this diary has already begun, with adam2020 HRing me for something which is NOT AGAINST site rules.
I may call out an HR abuser, as long as it is not in the title, which it is not. Adam2020, pls remove that HR immediately.
He/she is also suggesting that any post I make is HRable because of my username.
Well, I DO love Martha. If that is HR-able to you, Cheney, then you need your TR status removed.
Also, others have pointed out that I called someone a fascist POS. Well, when someone abuses HR priveleges, they are a fascist POS.
p.s. The reason I am not replying in the comments is so that these HR abusers can't HR me. So to those who expect a response in the comments, I'm sorry to disappoint. I will respond with diary updates.
Thanks.
IHM
UPDATE 2
AnnetteK,
"""you're as mean as a rattlesnake, as thi comment shows""
That poster had been following me around HRing me, so I went to his/her latest diary and typed that. He/she HR'd me first (for no reason) so I went and graffiti'd his/her diary.
Tough.
UPDATE 3
I would like to thank "Its the Supreme Court Stupid" for bringing the following HR abusers to my attention, so I may call them out.
After being HR'd for no reason I made the following comment:
"So fuck you, and keep HRing me, I dont give a shit, you fascist"
And the following HR abusers HR'd that comment:
Qui Tacet Consentire Videtur, ZappoDave, pasadena beggar, mariva, edwardssl, jkshaw, kingyouth, Cassandra Waites, Nona D Above, DontTaseMeBro, The Dead Man, RadioGirl, Hunter Huxley, Amber6541, Rustbelt Dem, Kristina40
Thank you for bringing them to my attention! I want to call out as many Cheneys as possible. maybe shame will make them stop abusing HR priveleges.
UPDATE 4
adam2020 says
But in response to my HR, the diarist has decided to call me out by username in the body of the diary itself, proving that he or she still doesn't quite get the point that diary bodies are not the place to tell people you're unhappy that they have HR'd you.
Yup, youre damned right I called you out by username. And I will continue to do so, since it is my only recourse, and not against site rules.
You don't like getting called out? Stop the HR abuse.
UPDATE 5:
Well I have to get back to work, no more time to update. To those of you saying I should delete this: Since it is not against site rules I will certainly NOT delete it. If people find it uncomfortable to be called out as the HR abusers they are, then maybe they should consider their actions.
But unless MB or one of the admins tell me to delete, this diary stays up.
have a nice day!
