That seems to be requested, my every other visit to the site.
We're at the peak of the primary. I understand. Tensions run high. I understand. People say things they likely shouldn't. I understand.
And then, someone complains, and we get called upon to censor one another. Mostly, I won't do it. Someone said something unfair about your candidate? About then about you? During the primary? Well, color me as neither surprised nor overly concerned.
Here's my advice. Try to be a bit kind to one another, even those who support the other candidate. Try not to get too offended. Even when the other guy says something stupid or mean or vulgar. And don't be quick to complain. If you do complain, try not to be too surprised that the jurors tend to shrug.

That should take care of it!

(13,386 posts)I share you opinions about not rushing to judgment or censoring people. I've only alerted a couple of posts all year and both of those were highly offensive attacks on another poster (both of which were hidden).

It is far better than actual jury duty!
