But it's an 'or', not an 'and'. When you say you 'need to see something over the top', you're saying you don't consider any of the other possible criteria important enough to hide. You're not disagreeing with me, you're disagreeing with the people who set up the jury system and wrote up the criteria for hiding comments.

And I reread my comment to H2OMan and I'd love to know exactly what in it you think could be considered 'rude' in a 'logical extreme', unless your 'logical extreme' is that any disagreement or suggestion that someone else could be wrong about something is 'rude'. And I'd call that an 'illogical extreme'.

Why is this meta post not locked? nt TBF Apr 2015 #28

Perhaps your post should be hidden, since it is more Meta than the one you are complaining about? HERVEPA Apr 2015 #30

Locking - host consensus that this is meta. cbayer Apr 2015 #32
