(11,238 posts)I read through the Rude Pundit thread. I didn't agree with the hide. I did get to see some genuine feeling about what was hurtful to some people, and that was a learning experience for me.
It seems to me that whether an alert is purity police or a deliberate attack, it kind of works itself out. The vindictive alerters get rejected by the jury as frivolous, or become known to Skinner et al as such. The purity police alerters will either be rejected by the jury or mocked by members afterward; if they get agreed with enough times by juries, maybe they have a point. So the shape of community standards is revealed, or community standards get reshaped & evolve.
I don't agree, when they succeed in getting posts hidden, in calling a jury 'bad'. A jury is the luck of the draw. Seven people who havealong with that other thing everyone has one ofan opinion.
