82. Alerters HAVE a bad name. Many place personal agendas, biases, and feelings above the collective.

Censorship is excessive here, as we can see on this thread.


I was on a jury over a week ago when someone posted an innocent quote on a religious thread. A quote that incited thought and reflection. That was jumped on quickly and was hidden by a 4-3 vote. I posted a few comments on a religious thread and I just waiting for them to be taken down for the same reasons - I upset someone, though they were moderately intellectual and on topic.


I chose my posts to reply to because there are certain members who seem to have taken on the role of "Team DU - World Police."

Replying to certain topics will almost certainly gain the wrath of those who don't want challenging thoughts. As such, I do not participate here as much as I would like.



There aren't a lot of members here who seem to act like Mrs. Kravitz from the TV series Bewitched, but it just takes a few. They will complain about some post, write up a halfway believable reason why the post was hurtful and, if a majority of the jurists lean their way... they WIN!

I'm a EFF supporter and, while I might not like a post, I would not consider flaging others unless something egregious were written.

I know of at least a half dozen members who should have their flagging privileges suspended for a while. It baffles me that they are allowed to censor, unless they were given some carte blanche approval to do so. There should be a cap of 5 flags a month, no more.
