I've refused to do jury duty now that I can't see the results. woolldog Jul 2016 #10

The results, usually created more drama. KMOD Jul 2016 #24

I want to see if my fellow jury members agree with me, woolldog Jul 2016 #31

That is what's wrong. KMOD Jul 2016 #33

Where did I say I didn't vote my conscience? woolldog Jul 2016 #34

You said you wanted to see if others agree with you. KMOD Jul 2016 #36

Being curious as to others opinions is not group think. woolldog Jul 2016 #39

My complaint is that now you also have to try to figure out what was in the head of the alerter. Hoppy Jul 2016 #26

From 2002 until this year I opted out, but finally started jurying just a few months ago Hekate Jul 2016 #27

Isn't that "other forum" called Discussionist? Hekate Jul 2016 #28

I have been on more that a dozen juries and have yet to hide anything. I can't tell what the FUCK madinmaryland Jul 2016 #29

Agreed! Opinions should be allowed, babylonsister Jul 2016 #37

The biggest issue I have is that it is really hard to determine the context of the post being madinmaryland Jul 2016 #40

Until I know better, I let opinions pass. babylonsister Jul 2016 #41

Agreed. I want the alerter to state their case... SMC22307 Jul 2016 #42

If the opinions violate the tos then you shouldn't allow them La Lioness Priyanka Jul 2016 #58

I'm sorry for your trouble, but both sides need the objectivity Maru Kitteh Jul 2016 #43

If you feel its to burdensome for you then just opt out of the jury system entirely rather than cstanleytech Jul 2016 #45

It's not burdensome if there is a valid complaint tavernier Jul 2016 #51
