DU rules make this especially important, particularly in threads you care about. I got a post hidden yesterday for (not-so-subtly) implying a troll who was baiting me was an asshole, which he predictably alerted as a personal attack. Some people may not be aware that if you get a post hidden by jury, you cannot post additional content to that thread. So be careful and, if you feel by gosh you must respond, for goodness sake don't cuss.
