181. I have never had a post hidden either but there is one DUer who said outright that he wouldn't hide

Mon Jan 13, 2014, 10:09 AM

Jan 2014

a personal attack if he thought the person deserved it so he went on my blacklist. Why take the chance of having a juror who says he is not participating on the jury system in good faith? Posters like that make DU suck because it removes fairness from juries and creates distrust. His privilege to be on a jury should have been revoked along with anyone who states they will never hide a post. Both types of DUers contribute to the failure of the jury system.

Since then I have recognized some game playing going on so I have added 14 of the least trustworthy DUers to my blacklist.

Again - never had a post hidden. I don't vote to hide anyone's post just because I don't like them and I don't alert on any posts unless I think it should be hidden no matter what my personal feelings about the poster are.

Yes, well, shocked is what you do best, so carry on Waiting For Everyman Jan 2014 #264

The 'sarcasm' tag was intended to convey that I'm the opplsite of shocked. redqueen Jan 2014 #266

I most certainly do call out this shit to people's faces. redqueen Jan 2014 #346

Don Rickles has left the building. L0oniX Jan 2014 #317

Rickles's racist/sexist/homophobic stuff isn't funny anymore. geek tragedy Jan 2014 #339
