It'll take me some time to hit 100K.

And post them in the Lounge. But then, I suspect your prospects of serving on a future jury would be severely affected.

I had no idea, doesn't seem like that many. I once noticed someone who had served that many times and my jaw dropped. Maybe it was you, LOL. Makes me feel better about the jury system, knowing you've been serving so regularly...

Willing to serve on a DU Jury: Yes
Chance of serving on a Jury: 50% (explain)
Number of times served on a Jury: 79

Jury
Willing to serve on a DU Jury: Yes
Chance of serving on a Jury: 100% (explain)
Number of times served on a Jury: 54

I've found more and more cases where I'm being asked to adjudicate posts about language in forums and groups I don't frequent, and I'm not going to invest more than a minute or two investigating the relevant history. So I toss the fish back.

I don't think it's fair to the alerter or the poster to flip a coin or to have a blanket "let it stay" or "hide" reaction in cases that aren't clear to me. So I just walk away.

I was thrilled, my dear Ptah, to see your totals were higher than mine, lol! I was afraid I held the record...

And Raven: I find that I'm in agreement with the majority most of the time.....not all, though!

And I too opt out if I can't understand what's going on. I think that's the fair thing to do...

Lately, I've been getting a "summons" shortly after logging on.

I have turned down a number of requests, too... usually for the guns forum.

You can opt out of having any forum being part of your jury list...

I forget how to do it, though.

Skinner talked about that, and so I opted out of having the gun forum part of my list.

Why can't they just get along over there?

Since the knee surgery. I'm way too mellow with the meds I'm still taking and don't think I'd be tough enough for a jury.

It's purely random. If you're not here much, then you won't get called.

Nobody does the choosing; it's electronic.
