Skinner has created a new website, discussionist.com, that is supposed to be open to all, unlike DU.

Civility, or the lack thereof, is the criterion for hiding a post, not political position. I just joined up so I don't know about the criterion for banning, if any.

At any rate, I hadn't been on for 30 seconds before I was invited to join a jury. I voted to left the post stay, but was outvoted 5-2.

Anyway, when you're caught up on the discussions here, maybe you might like to introduce some logic and facts into the discussions over there.

Or maybe not.

2. That's funny.. :)

4. I have my doubts I'll be spending a buttload of time there...

...but days I feel like batting a ball of yarn around, it might come in handy, my friend!

5. That's the first time I linked to it.. when I feel like batting a ball of yarn around..

6. I went to respond to your post...

but first had to serve on a jury because it was alerted on. They will never guess who I am

[Cooley Hurd]

7. Ha! I just served on my DST jury too!

Yeah, the "I will kill you" comment kinda sealed their fate...

[awoke_in_2003]

8. I wasn't going to join...

until I read your post. I was a member for 1 minute before I got selected for jury duty.

on edit: I served on a jury for your OP.

9. I sorta felt the same way, but it's a chance to live in...

...the wild west!

10. Plus, we have super secret identities...

[Cooley Hurd]

11. TOTALLY incognito!!!

[awoke_in_2003]

12. Jury voted 6 to 1....

to leave that thread alone. One juror evidently didn't get it.

[Cooley Hurd]

13. Your jury? Ooh! Post a link to the thread!

[awoke_in_2003]

14. No, your OP was alerted on...

sorry for the confusion.

[Cooley Hurd]

15. OH! Hahahaha!!!

Guess that "1" was a freeper.

[awoke_in_2003]

16. Or dense...

Inappropriate - not News. Or are we going to just let people post whatever they want wherever they want?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of Discussionist members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed May 14, 2014, 07:51 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This could have been dealt with in a response in the thread. This site is in the early stage yet and the rules haven't fully settled yet.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Unfamiliar with discussion forums huh? Here's your first lesson -- don't post stuff that's not news in the News category. Good luck!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing that a kind reminder wouldn't fix.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
