55. well I guess he would know,

I am not sure I agree about the "juries rarely hide posts that don't deserve to be hidden'

but that could work both ways. Sometimes some people are upset that a post was NOT hidden and other times upset that it was. I disagree with some of the hides on both 1SBM and Bravenak that I have looked in to, but the last one was voted 6-1, so I guess I am in a minority.

Once I tried to keep my own stats on my own jury duties, but it was too much work. I wanted to see how often I disagreed with a majority of the jury. As I recall, the answer was - not very often. Plus there were times when I was the swing vote, when a vote was 4-3 or 3-4, although really all four of us are swing votes, not just me.

Sometimes I am torn between keeping it or nuking it, my bias is towards letting it stand, especially when I have seen much worse. Skinner perhaps wants us all to be much more civil than we generally are.

I also have a problem when a post says basically "FU 2". I would like to hide it, but when I see two people exchanging insults, I don't like to hide just one, especially if it is kinda hard to tell who started it. Mods used to be able to wipe out whole subthreads. If somebody is told basically "FU" I kinda understand if they respond "FU 2".
