In reply to the discussion: 24-hour poll: Does DU need judges as well as juries? [View all]davidpdx
(22,000 posts)25. No, the system isn't perfect
But neither was it when there were mods. People are up in arms pissing and moaning about the one particular OP which was misogynist. While I agree it was bad, some of the responses were just as bad if not worse. If I slap you and then you slap me back we are both at fault. The same thing can be said for what happened over on that thread with a few people (note: I didn't post on that thread at all).
