In reply to the discussion: Suggestion - If you are a fairly active DUer, use your jury blacklist [View all]Orrex
(67,195 posts)The blacklist enables me to exlude as potential jurors those DU members with whom I have a conflict of personality, so that this conflict will not unduly influence their vote in the unlikely event that they wind up on the jury for one of my alerted-on posts. Since the blacklist predates the claims of "alert-stalking," I infer that this is its intended purpose.
You are speculating, perhaps on behalf of the paranoid, that the blacklist exists in order to chase away alert-stalkers. This fails for at least several reasons, chief among them Skinner's assertion that claims of alert-stalking are "bogus" and also the fact that a blacklist would be a woefully clumsy tool for dealing with such a problem even if it existed.
I would be interested to learn whether you believe that Skinner is correct, incorrect, or lying when he states that claims of alert-stalking are "bogus." What is your view?
I accept that some small few might still fear that alert-stalking exists and is cynically denied by the admins, but that's really a problem of their perception rather than a problem that the admins have any responsibility to manage.
