Alert nullification

I'm getting tired of being on juries for alerts made on innocuous posts.

I always vote in favor of robust dialog, but there's one thing I am changing.

After I vote to acquit, I am now saying that I think the alert was sent in bad faith.

Go ahead. Alert on this.

guidelines. Alerts being sent because the alert-er also doesn’t understand the guidelines? Or causing a commotion? Or…?

Glad to hear I’m not the only one wondering what the alert was for. I like your guidance on this.

policies of Democrats and the world are supported.

Generally, the rules of DU and my vote align well.

That said, popularity wins more than expertise and high manners, to my dismay.

I don’t acquit over 40 percent
