About the jury system

[cannabis_flower]

Saw this in the Hillary group but it works both ways. Good advice to prevent stalkers from alerting on your posts.

1. Not sure if this is something I've got to worry about...

I'm pretty sure only maybe two or three of those types have me off ignore. Praise the goddess, too-- I think if I had to see their complicity in accepting corruption and war crime, I'd have lost 50 pounds just in vomitus alone.

2. I don't worry too much either because

as far as I know I've never had a post hidden. I try not to post thing that would get me hidden but if you are one of those that do it's good advice. I only have one person on my jury blacklist right now.

3. I've had a handful hidden.

Mostly when I point out that "hey, your candidate is corrupt as hell and here's why". Think they just gave up after a while, which I'm completely ok with tbh. Means less having to look at defending Blackwater of all fucking corporations...

6. So you

don't call out wrong statements because you want to protect yourself. Not very heroic! I think we should call out the WRONGS!

8. Did I say that?

No, but if I call something out I try to do it without personally attacking the poster or their candidate. It can be done.

Perhaps I've been alerted on but not hidden. I don't know.

9. Here's a post

where I called out bravenak.

I usually don't post in the Hillary forum. They say all kinds of shit there. Let them. I post here, GD-Primaries and Latest Breaking News a lot.

4. "each person that posted on that thread is excluded from the jury"

I didn't know that.

7. I didn't know that either

it makes sense though

5. I was just hidden

because i spoke out to say that RW speakers are harming us. We are being infiltrated by paid posters who disparage us.

10. Speaking of the jury, I have something that just came to my attention.

I just found out last nite that there is someone that often serves on the jury that has animosity towards me.
Had a weird situation on fb last nite where I was pretty much called a Puma and a bully for Bernie & was told to take "my horseshit back to DU". What was the offense? Posting the video of the bird landing on Bernie's podium. Instead of commenting "wow, how cool" I got so are you going to vote for Hillary if she is the nominee, and it escalated from there.

Later read a post where this person is often a jury member here.
And read where he posted that he voted to hide one of my posts, link and all. Nice - huh? Broadcasting that on facebook and all.
My post was pretty snarky about Hillary, I wasn't surprised it was hidden but posting it on facebook? wow.

I'm trying to decide what to do.
I don't want to leave DU because of this - but I don't want him taking out his hostility towards me on members of this group.

It's really a strange situation I find myself in. Even stranger is this is someone that I am not even friendly with. We just happened to move a DU group over to facebook after the 2008 election which we were both members. I honestly don't know what his problem is with me. But there is one. This was not the first time he went after me, but last nite was pretty bad.

I just wanted to give you guys a heads up.

11. cyber stalking

I would let Skinner know about this. Seriously, this is b.s.

Also I think you were on that thread last night where a certain member is accusing others of stalking her? Then she made thinly veiled threats to another DU member. Anyway, it may be because of that whole situation.

i think some of them need some intense psychological help.

14. jillan

facebook's block user is a gift to humanity.

[jillan]

15. I unfriended him - which may have added to the situation. I just don't want him taking it out

on anyone here.

[cannabis_flower]

16. Add him to the members

you block from being on your jury.

19. Edited - I asked how to do that & found it & just did it!

Thank you! I feel like a weight was taken off my shoulders.

12. Whoops, I was wrong. Lmao.

We truly are "through the looking glass", folks.

[cannabis_flower]

17. Wrong about what?

[VulgarPoet]

18. There are a few out for my blood still. Or at least, my silence.

Forgive me, I like a bit of poetic flair.

13. This part made me chuckle:

"Most likely the vast majority who may reply to a comment in the Hillary Group is a Hillary supporter." No shit, Sherlock.
