On Hiding Threads and Comments

[JustAnotherGen]

1. I have to disagree

I've been on 219 juries and I very very rarely will vote to hide a post. When I do hide a post - it's the most simple TOS term being broken - personal attacks. The other reason I'll hide - it's an obvious troll.

Callling someone a derogatory name/word is not necessary and does not enhance the discussion.

And I will say this - DU has one of the LOOSEST TOS around. So yeah - are people being vindictive and petty and deliberately hiding people they disagree with? Or alerting on them? Yeppers.


But I think it happens less often than an actual indieteapublican bigot coming on here and causing a ruckus and getting the boot.

And I absolutely do not come here to read right wing wingnut igorant comments - if I want that I can visit CNN's comments section. If someone wants to post that stuff - post it there.
