(57,680 posts)and that all of us are responsible for what others write. That is the point I drew attention to, that a poster above was using a post from a non-suspended member against those who have been suspended.
I wrote that HOF OP. I disagree they are the most abusive members of this site. I find the most abusive members of the site continue undaunted precisely because juries don't hide their attacks, since they attack the right people. People are well aware that they can say anything to or about certain members and it will not be hidden. My HOF thread, however, was not a comment on those members' jury hides but simply that their voices are missed. The hidden posts were a tiny fraction of what they wrote. More than 40 members agreed.
I have seen members of the men's group defend and even repeat abusive attacks that were hidden. I could be specific, but that would only contribute to the drama. In fact, I have also seem members of your group complain about alert stalking, when from what I can see you could post virtually anything in there and a jury would allow it. When Unrepentant Liberal was PPR'd, members of your group insisted that was because of alert stalking. I have learned a lesson from this, however. Next time I see someone flagged, I shouldn't think, oh they have a time out, hopefully they'll try to be less insulting when they return. I should instead hunt down additional posts to alert on to make sure they are gone for 3 months. I can think of one person who would not be around if I had done that since I saw a number of abusive posts after his flag, but I didn't want to alert because it seemed vindictive. But it turns out that as usual I was wrong.
