Seems like an easily abused exploit that could tie the whole board up in jury duty.Perhaps the moderators/hosts need to exercise judgement on which ones should be sent to the jury...and I'm really not sure how to use the Soapbox. I've got a locked thread for discussing jury duty - I'm told it belongs in the lounge. The lounge seems like an inappropriate place to discuss reasonably serious topics like jury duty. When the forum name is "soapbox", I'd think any opinion piece belongs there. The Lounge appears to be our version of Comedy Central.
