Related: About this forumAlert nullification
I'm getting tired of being on juries for alerts made on innocuous posts.
I always vote in favor of robust dialog, but there's one thing I am changing.
After I vote to acquit, I am now saying that I think the alert was sent in bad faith.
Go ahead. Alert on this.

(6,395 posts)1. Ah. I thought I somehow couldn't make sense if the
guidelines. Alerts being sent because the alert-er also doesnt understand the guidelines? Or causing a commotion? Or
?
Glad to hear Im not the only one wondering what the alert was for. I like your guidance on this.

(33,643 posts)2. I vote to acquit like 97% of the time, and I get a lot of jury requests
I'll leave it at that

(9,488 posts)3. As for myself, I vote so that the most important
policies of Democrats and the world are supported.
Generally, the rules of DU and my vote align well.
That said, popularity wins more than expertise and high manners, to my dismay.
I dont acquit over 40 percent
