Got my first hide in years!

Just have to say...

AND, even after 18,000 plus posts...AND as a DIE-HARD Bernie Supporter...

Got called a tRump supporter AND a TROLL, EVEN BY A MULTITUDE OF FOLKS IN THE BERNIE GROUP...long time posters, no less!



Ya...I'm just a bit pissed off.

So here is MY very ticked off moment...I'm taking MYSELF out of the Jury system. I'm worn down supporting people but failed to get support (I can tell some of the juror comments matched some in the reply to what I said...being called a troll! )

Have a great day.

2. Just one of those things.....

I've had a couple of locked threads over the years here, but I just blow it off and keep on truckin. None of my posts really warranted locking, but the jury has a job to do and I'm good with that. Not hard to get a little feisty every now and then on this board, especially in the primaries.

Sure hope this doesn't go on your permanent record! LOL!

in the face of the Hillsies' organized effort to silence Berners by alerting as often as possible.

I've had two hides in the last month or so.

She...will...lose.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Can someone ban the anti-Democrats from Democratic Underground? This person is openly hoping for and promoting a Trump victory.

Not sure the administrator has quite the pull with them that Hill herself does. Have heard very good projections for the upcoming primaries.

Wonder if there's anything else?

8. I stay in the jury system to protect good people from alert abuse.

It's a very good reason to stay in, SoapBox.

If we drop out, they win.

11. I'm still in the jury system too
Sat May 7, 2016, 07:12 PM
May 2016

but oddly haven't been asked to serve in ages, and for a while there I was on several a day. IIRC, people have gotten hides for even mentioning this which is so silly it leads me to the conclusion that the jury system is being abused.

13. Wow, something's wrong with that, dorkzilla.

You have no hides and a 100% chance of serving on a jury.

I have 2 hides (both bogus) and a 60% chance of serving on jury, yet I am asked to serve several times a week.

Even if all the Hill types had you on their no-jury list, you should, by odds, be getting called more often than me.

As always, it's great to see you and I hope everything's good.

I've been spending more time at JPR than here but I still come by every day and I cannot recall the last time I was asked to serve. Months I'm sure.

Good to see you too, senz!

18. Me as well. Have always posted why I make the call, and have been even-handed about it.
Sat May 7, 2016, 11:51 PM
May 2016

Even to the point of voting hide on a few Sanders supporters and chiding them for making me do so IN THE JURY COMMENTS! But apparently, it's not good enough to be even handed. There is also a very protected few that alerts don't go to jury. They go straight to admin. Posters that get away with some pretty vile stuff. Tells me there's no point. 20 hides? No problem! Post away!

And I would stand up for any jury call I've made in public as fair. Put 'em out there in GD! I can stand transparency!

Maybe they don't like us because we're rational and don't play along with the whole team sports tit for tat BS?

20. Mebbe. I think decks are loaded and tilted, myself.

It started after the doors were opened to release the formerly - ahem, self immolated. Now, they are protected and can have as many hides as they want with no repercussions. I'm almost ready to lay Vegas-style odds on how high anyone can go! I've seen several at 20 - so I'm thinking mebbe 50?

'Tis a pity. DU was once a beacon in the night for me, back in the LittleBoots days. Who knew we'd ever have Democrats that could give Bush a run for his money?

Mine went 2-5 and it was ridiculously whiny. I don't know how anyone could vote to hide it but apparently there's a lot of people abusing the jury system.

FWIW, I have a 6% or so chance now.
