Spanking Child With Wooden Spoon Not Child Abuse, Says State Court

[ScreamingMeemie]

488. If that's how you feel, alert. I've merely stated the truth, without the nasty language

that trumad (who I happen to like) employed.

Using the jury system to voice your feelings about the topic at hand, instead of addressing personal attacks, rude behavior, and over the top posts, is not a part of Community Standards.

It does not matter what the subject is about. And yes, it is a big part of why DU sucks...and a huge part of why I spend so little time here. No heroic stand was taken by you.

A primer for you:

Today I accepted a call for jury.
The post was by one of my favorite DUers.
It was rude and over the top language used against another DUer.
Even though I agreed with what one of my favorite DUers was saying, I voted to hide.
That's how the jury system works, you see?

That said, adding an addendum that you think we should go back to Moderation merely proves the point that you're doing it wrong. A Mod (I was one) would have deleted that post in a heartbeat.

I trust you will take this to heart the next time you feel compelled to bring your personal feelings to the jury table.
