trumad, it looks like you got your answer.

It can't be done.

[MohRokTah]

1. And they'll send you to DU Gitmo if you dare ask the question.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

2. Some folks love their piece./NT

[GoneOffShore]

3. And it should be done.

It was not a good hide.

[GGJohn]

5. Yeah, it was.

He started that thread with one thing in mind, to start a flame war, it backfired on him badly.

[MohRokTah]

6. Yep, time to stop looking at the post when on a jury.

Look at the poster instead.

[NaturalHigh]

8. Say what now?

[MohRokTah]

19. I will no longer judge a post by itself when on a jury.

From now on, I will judge the poster instead.

That is what happened in this instance, IMO. Since that is how the decision to hide is being made by others, I have no choice but to reciprocate.

[NaturalHigh]

22. That's up to you.

[LanternWaste]

28. Your grasp of the irrelevant and obvious is encouraging.

Your grasp of the irrelevant and obvious is encouraging.

[NaturalHigh]

34. Thank you!

That's the kindest thing you've ever said!

[pintobean]

45. It bears repeating.

It bears repeating.

[cali]

23. I simply bow out of jury duty if it's someone I don't think I can be fair toward

sounds like you intend to do the opposite.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

29. I didn't realize he got a time out...

Trumad is one of the original members.


There is nothing sacrosanct about a "jury". A "jury" made Socrates drink the hemlock, nailed Christ to a cross, and sentenced the Scottsboro Boys to death on a bogus rape charge where the accusers recanted.

[GGJohn]

11. Yeah, I'll remember that. eom.

[SamKnause]

4. ?

Please, someone elaborate.

[pintobean]

7. Doubling down on a hidden post

[SamKnause]

10. Thank you.

[NaturalHigh]

12. Yep.

[Capt. Obvious]

14. He must hold the record for most time outs now

[hobbit709]

17. There's one with at least a dozen time outs.

[Capt. Obvious]

27. I just realized how wrong I was

I couldn't see beyond the current exit.

[NaturalHigh]

26. You would think so, but alas, no.

[RiverLover]

9. A truly, astoundingly bad hide.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/10026856108

[NaturalHigh]

13. Why?

[SamKnause]

15. Thank you.

[FSogol]

16. I agree. Bad hide. Delicate flowers and all. n/t

[GGJohn]

18. No, it was a good hide,

he started that thread with one thing in mind, to stir up a flame war, it was a proper hide, it should have been a 7-0 decision.

[bigtree]

47. a bullshit hide

...vindictive.

[sufrommich]

20. How bad is DU's jury system? Freeper gun nuts just banned

a DUer.

[demmiblue]

25. They are scurrying all over DU this morning.

It always happens when there is a shooting, especially a mass shooting.

[hack89]

31. So everyone on that jury was a "gun nut"?

how is that possible unless DU is mainly made up of gun nuts? I thought the juries were randomly selected.

[pintobean]

32. Jurors recognized

a shit stirring, flame bait, call-out thread, and properly hid it. No one was banned over it.

The system worked properly. Calling the jurors 'freeper gun nuts' is over-the-top and ridiculous.

[GGJohn]

35. He hasn't been banned,

he's just on a time out, and he's responsible for that time out, nobody else.

[City Lights]

39. Who got banned? nt

[GusBob]

40. banned? with less than 1K posts if I went around calling people names

I would have been banned years ago. he gets away with it with lil' child time outs

[onecaliberal]

48. ^^^That^^^

[AuntPatsy]

21. See you have not learned anything being incarcerated

It can be done though, depends on your pack...

[madokie]

24. It didn't last long enough to bother to type it out

[Hoyt]

30. It's obvious the gun fanciers are looking for posts criticizing their "hobby." Don't seem to care

about the shooting, just criticism of their "hobby."

[hack89]

36. So how were the gun fanciers able to pack the jury?

I can understand them alerting but they can't force the jury to agree with them.

[Hoyt]

37. I'm talking about you guys jumping quickly on any post criticizing your "hobby." Besides,

you want to put a bet on who alerted on the post?

3 minute response in your case.

[hack89]

38. Because we know you and your kind would never alert on pro-gun posts

right?

[Hoyt]

41. I've never alerted on any post, voted to hide only one or two. Pro-gun posts are disgusting

though.

[GGJohn]

44. You do the same damn thing here also, matter of fact everyone

does it, so what's different now?

[hack89]

33. DU is usually hostile to ego centric flame bait OPs.

the hide was no surprise.

[cali]

42. why are we doing this here and now?

It just seems callous and petty to me.

[DemocratSinceBirth]

43. Since my pal Trumad served in the Armed Forces at least he was shooting at people ...

Since my pal Trumad served in the Armed Forces at least he was shooting at people who could presumably shoot back.

[greytdemocrat]

46. Locking. Meta
