It's perfectly clear that the ass who wrote those horrible letters to Bravenak has lost...

111. It seems clear to me that outspoken DUers and AA DUers are being targeted

A mob mentality. Whether lone wolves, group actions or griefing trolls, it is disgusting. How dare anyone alert on anything but the most egregious incivility? Perhaps rules should be changed to reflect in one's profile how many alerts one has made and which forum one alerts in most.

I personally am sick of the use of informers on this board. An average of 50-60 alerts a day? Disgusting. Alerters seem to believe they are doing something useful when all they really seem to do is exert control and power over others based on this ability to control discussions. Most of us do not want them to do this. Only the obvious trolls and those who engage in personal attacks on other DUers should be alerted. Skinner himself said we were a community and needed to establish standards. Well my standard says if someone is alerting on posts more than once a week (maybe even a month), they do it too often! I am tired of them butting in to other people's discussions. Maybe the people who are wronged in alerted posts should be asked to weigh in on jury decisions. As it is, they have no opportunity to defend themselves. That is not justice. Often the ones alerted posters are arguing with are the last to wish a post hidden as they prefer to continue the discussion rather than slap someone down that they disagree with.

In a protected group, anyone who comes in to comment should consider themselves guests and behave accordingly or be banned.

It seems like more and more DUers are leaving our board because they are tired of this constant drama caused by so much infighting.
