Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Just trash it - don't demean the op.

Someone else commented on the lowering of standards around here.

No one held a gun to his head and MADE him read the thread. I have people on ignore, boards/groups on ignore and threads trashed. I don't demean members of DU by pointing out who they are. It's mean.

The good thing is - he/she wont' be back to derail it further. Because supposedly they trashed the thread.
