7. It was against the rules in DU2. I don't think it's in the DU3 TOS.

And I think pointing out that someone is lying is a necessity when those lies are repeated. Of course, it's not so much the fact that my post got hidden, but rather the fact that his egregious behavior is allowed to continue by hosts and by juries because he's not attacking a majority group with his repeated BS, while at the same time those who call him out get silenced.

The personal attacks by the juror were just the icing on the cake, though I do have to wonder who outside of my jury blacklist so vehemently thinks of me as an "asshole" and an "imbecile."

Well, I called humblebum an arsehole/asshole and it got hidden. mr blur Apr 2012 #4

I think you had a similar jury to mine. "Asshole" can only be applied to us, it seems. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #5

And, I got called a "fucking asshole" by a staunch religionist EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #12

I guess, judging by the alerter comment above, that the attack on you must have been "called for". darkstar3 Apr 2012 #13

What's funny is that I wasn't being all that much of a fucking asshole EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #16

I guess it's OK to call us bigots and prejudiced, too. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #14

No, I didn't serve on this jury Warpy Apr 2012 #6

It was against the rules in DU2. I don't think it's in the DU3 TOS. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #7

You need to do the oblique slam Warpy Apr 2012 #8

nope... opiate69 Apr 2012 #23

AND personal attacks from the jurors as a bonus! cleanhippie Apr 2012 #9

I said my piece. It's clear that he's full of it. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #10

I added to it anyway by reposting your words as a quote excerpt. cleanhippie Apr 2012 #11

It seemed that way at one time for Kurmudgeon and Zebedeo too. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #19

You could have said the exact same thing without calling that liar a liar. n/t laconicsax Apr 2012 #15

Maybe I should have called him a "bigot" or a "fucking asshole". darkstar3 Apr 2012 #17

Juror #2 seems to have developed False Equivalence into a high art form. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #18

And.... more Bias... opiate69 Apr 2012 #20

Nevermind, I found it. Wow. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #21

yep.... opiate69 Apr 2012 #22

The problem is that a jury only works if it's one of your peers, darkstar3 Apr 2012 #24

especially hard for us mean, godless "bigots". opiate69 Apr 2012 #25

That's exactly why Rob H. Apr 2012 #32

I think it's a few things short of that. laconicsax Apr 2012 #26

huh? Not sure what you're saying here... it's been that kind of day for me though... opiate69 Apr 2012 #27

No problem: laconicsax Apr 2012 #28

like, 6 short of a half dozen most days. lol opiate69 Apr 2012 #29

I still disagree... laconicsax Apr 2012 #30
