I hope that Skinner's plan to improve the Jury System includes at least a partial return to those guidelines --aka, give jurors more guidance, as he said, as to what was and wasn't acceptable on DU.

Truthfully, all of the above IS covered under the broad umbrella of "disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate"....

But it's such a broad umbrella, that many haven't felt like something was "rude enough" or "insensitive enough" to hide.

Wow. Almost none of those rules are followed now. onehandle May 2016 #1
