But I think that some benefit of the doubt is incumbent on juries, or at least clearly understanding a post should be required before alerting.
... and certainly before boasting in the jurors comments that the poster should be banned, even if the juror didn't know that the hell he was voting on.
My admitted lack of precision and clarity was used as an excuse to alert and hide something which should have been uncontroversial, had anyone tried understand the post in question (which I still feel one would have to work hard to misinterpret). It's my only hidden post on my transparency page, but I work hard to color inside the lines and so I take these things personally; one is too many.
I get accused of being pedantic in my posts, but when I relax this is what happens.
This experience supports the basis of my PM'ed complaints to Ohio Joe that he posted upthread. I consider reposting PM's to be base, craven and spineless, as well as a complete non-sequitur in the context of this thread. But every person rolls their own way, I suppose.
Accusing by name, 10 year DU'ers, who aren't even participating in the thread, of being the kind of person who beats up prostitutes is really beyond the pale, and should be high on the list of offenses that make DU suck.
But the jury, if there was one, apparently disagreed.
