Hey...

Just an fyi. It pays off to keep your jury black list up to date. If you haven't done it in awhile, look at yours...if you see someone with low chances of serving, replace them with better choices...easily found, you know where.

That's my PSA for today!

1. Speaking of Juries, I think I was blacklisted from serving on a jury

May 2016

At least, it was the last time I was called for jury service, a month ago. And only because I said that while a poster was a jackass they didn't violate TOS. I voted to LEAVE a Hillary supporter's post.

On Mon Apr 18, 2016, 09:16 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Bernie fans stalk, threaten to kill WaPo writer over donation size story.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/12511773141

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

There is no evidence that any threats were made and certainly no evidence that said threats were made by 'bernie fans'.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 18, 2016, 09:20 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If there's no proof then take it up with the guy on Twitter. Stop alerting threads bc you disagree with them. LEAVE
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If it's the guy that wrote the article he is well an idiot.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Philip Bump is being a jackass both with his false story and with his assertions that everyone is who they seem on twitter. Likewise, geek tragedy is being a jackass and has no intention of fostering honest discussion on DU. However, being a jackass is not a TOS violation and is not against community standards. Vote to leave. ~JonLeibowitz
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Things like this are posted all the time. Twitter is used all the time to attack Hillary fans. You don't get to alert when it's done to you. I'm voting to leave.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

3. No doubt; I thought I was allowed to call a poster a jackass, while acknowledging that the post was

not a TOS violation. Apparently not.

Or it could be that the Admins have their biases...
