(10,493 posts)Honestly, the jury system is completely messed up.
I've had one alert which led to a deserved hide in all of my 12 years. Again, not disputing it. But I've seen things hidden that I can't for the life of me understand why. They fit within standard everyday posting here at DU. But again, F is F, and if we're going to let it stand one way in the primary season it should go any way.
For the record, it is perception. I've seen what I consider far worse than the f word lobbed, against both candidates. Things tend to get hidden in favor of HRC but not for Bernie these days. It is what it is. But it's noticed. For what it's worse, I don't find the f word the least bit offense, but I live up in the Chicago region, and it's pretty much part of our every day. I'd still send my kid to his room for it. And expect a teacher to run him to the office of he dared, but that's respect earned. Different context and use.
