12. as someone who serves on juries a lot

I am surprised this even got alerted on. I have alerted on OPs that insulted people, called for people to get killed, called them more cuss words then George Carlin and Tupac Shakur could think of, only to see the inevitable "leave them alone", often by people who broke the terms of service right in the very explanation for their decision. Seeing the good guys win this battle is almost like a trip to Bizarro world, dave that in this Bizarro world, things actually work like they should.

Bravo on defending the right to criticize Pope Frank, who is following the Barack Obama/Hillary Clinton school of "if I make the bigots comfortable, maybe they will act nicer" school of thought.

Why would that be alerted on? Reading down the replies, I see who probably did but in no way was it uppityperson Sep 2013 #1

Because some people on DU don't like gays Pab Sungenis Sep 2013 #4

I know, I guess it was more of a rhetorical question and support of you. uppityperson Sep 2013 #5

The new jury system is going to be a nightmare. tridim Sep 2013 #6

That was my first thought, too. There are tiny tribes of alerters... NYC_SKP Sep 2013 #7

There needs to be a rule against alert abuse. tridim Sep 2013 #10
