Be careful when responding to Hillary supporters' posts.

135. Some additional thoughts.

1. Focus on the argument, not the person, even if they are skirting with going personal. A lot of people intentionally skirt the edge of what is hide-able to try and bait out a response. They can be very good at this and know where the line is for most juries. I've seen a lot of posters get baited like this, respond in kind with a personal attack and get hidden. Realize that if someone is just barely not engaging in personal attacks, it might be they are trying to bait you. Such people are the first ones to hammer the report button the minute you slip up.

2. Don't rely on context to help you. Think of every post you make in isolation. A lot of fine things will be hidden if they are taken out of context. The sad fact of the jury system is that juries often don't both to read long comment trees and may just judge an individual post.

I've served on a lot of juries and only have ever had 1 hidden post, which was a 4-3. I engage in a lot of heated debate, but I always try to think of where the line is.
