3. Um, I'm not always active in the DU, but why are you juried out for an opinion?

Are opinions held by Democrats now something that DUers think is an acceptable to use the jury system to eliminate?

I mean, I know I'm subject to this sort of stuff myself, but I thought I was an outlier - subject for special hatred because I represent a portion of the party that a lot of people here would not like to exist. But this sounds a bit different.

Can someone state that accusations of improperly trying to influence gamer reviews is bad, without being juried?

Can they come out against rape accusations not being taken seriously without being juried?

Can they come out and speak to what the majority of gamers (as opposed to some ugly minority) believe without being juried?

Seriously. How much of a hair-trigger intolerant echo chamber has this place become?

I have a feeling that's intentional daredtowork Sep 2014 #26

Oh, absolutely. No doubt about that. OneGrassRoot Sep 2014 #36

Yes, it's a derogatory term daredtowork Sep 2014 #25

bad form to get kicked out of a thread with a hide and then start a new OP snooper2 Sep 2014 #18
