In reply to the discussion: A note on Jury Service. (edited) [View all]Wait Wut
(8,492 posts)15. Absolutely.
But only the context of that post, I'm not going to forgive someone's OTT reply just because they got their feelings hurt. It isn't a jurors job to judge every post and poster in a thread and play psychologist. You're basing your decision on one post. If (A) calls (Z) a poopyhead and (Z) responds by calling (A) a moronic hangnail, I can only be asked to judge one or the other, depending on which alert I was asked to judge. I can only hope that the other poster gets alerted on, as well.

It has to be MIRT material or border line MIRT and obvious TOS violation before I vote to hide.

I find this an enlightening discussion. Myself, I vote to hide it if it is a personal attack/snark.

Except that we can still opt to read the hidden post. So we get to judge the judgers.

The people who alert on everything are the same ones who used to tell the teacher

You are correct. In very long threads often only the sub-thread is important. Not the WHOLE thread.

The thing is hidden posts probably get more attention than non hidden ones.

My standard was to hide for bigotry of any sort, and unprovoked personal attacks

I think the Post Only should be judged and, without the poster's name available to be seen.
