"trolls" and "sugar plum fairies"...both times I voted in the minority. I've been alerted on at least once myself, the reason I know is because the alerter posted the results complaining about the verdict...which was 4-2 in my favor..

This whole jury system has brought all the busybodies, board nannies, and those with personal vendettas out of the woodwork....

Now just watch man..I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if this post gets alerted on. I really don't know what I can safely say anymore..
