I was a moderator on DU way back when.
We were fair but tough, ensuring that the DU rules were being followed. We discussed and made decisions as a group when it came to removing posts or members - took our duties very seriously. Sure we still had the usual drama but it didn't fester like an infected boil, we lanced it and moved on. Sometimes the boil came back, and we'd lance it again.
Now I serve on juries periodically as most of you do, and a lot of stuff that slides by just makes me scratch my head. It's as if some jury members are making decisions on a whim, totally oblivious to the DU rules.
One of my favorites (seen frequently as a response to flamebait): "Let the post stay. The other person deserves it."
So.....are we children?
I may get in hot water for saying this stuff but as a long timer here, I'm voicing my opinion. It's as if we, as a collective, are not doing our job in guarding the henhouse. Maybe if those of us who serve on juries are familiar with the DU rules and then do our best to make decisions from a place of objectivity, this can change.
Ouch.

Apparently, the DUmmy is not familiar with jury nullification.
ETA: Free will is a bitch, collectivist scumbag.

Is that a question that even needs to get asked? Actually, children have an excuse for being moronic assholes, DUmmies don't.

Yes, they are children, and they are a collective, just like the former DU administrator indicated.

There was no nullification back during the day of cbayer the thread slayer.

Oh, bullshit. Anything that disrupted the comfortable bubble wrap protective enclosure was deleted and banned. :bird:

You know.
The rules.
The rules are whatever they say they are in retrospect.
Knowing them in advance, are you kidding ?
That takes away all of the control from the ruling elite.
