But unless Skinner insists that juries must "leave" or "hide" based on the TOS, the bashing will continue unabated. And even if he were willing to do that, he would be inundated with PMs arguing about jury decisions that didn't do so - and I doubt he's willing to deal with that.
I know there are many posters who have "trashed" or avoided GDP for the duration, waiting for the "no-bashing the nominee" rule to come into effect. I imagine a lot of them will leave DU when they realize that's not going to happen. Who wants to post on a political site in the lead-up to a presidential election when discussions about that eletion are too toxic to participate in?
Skinner's stated position is that jurors need not consider the TOS, because they are the ones "setting the community standards". Well, we've seen how low those "standards" have sunk. And it can only get worse.
