112. I haven't found the jury system to be fair or effective so I boycott it....

Wed Jun 18, 2014, 02:26 PM

Jun 2014

I refuse to participate in juries and have found many people that is on juries see it as an opportunity to censor others without respect to whether or not a post violates the ToS, is offensive or otherwise inappropriate.

So I just don't play the game. I try to keep my posts here squeaky clean and post my real feelings on other sites that do not have German Stasi style censors.

I still enjoy browsing DU and do post but it isn't a place I go to to get the latest information or share my real feelings anymore.
