Like the person above, I err on the side of leaving posts as they are unless it is an obvious personal attack. That has no place here. If I am not 100% certain of my vote, I excuse myself from jury duty.

I have lost count of the number of posts I disagreed with, some rather profoundly, that I voted to leave as is.
