(9,233 posts)On April 27 at your request I gave you a link to your post that was hidden by my alert and the subsequent baseless OP you posted in HCG about your hidden post.
In the HCG thread along with baseless accusations you said you were contacting Admin to have the then unknown to you alerter removed from alerts and juries. That did not happen then.
I never lost alert function (the alert on your post was my 3rd alert ever and I have made one alert since) but never have been summoned to a jury since I provided links to the alert and your thread about the alert in HCG.
None of my now 4 alerts were frivolous. Three of the four were to posts that were hidden, your post and two others that I was not the first to alert.
Regarding the near daily of one or more juries:
1) I made every attempt to be fair and to TOS. On maybe 5% of summons I either refused or aborted service because I could not make a good faith decision.
2) At least 90% if not 95% of my jury votes concurred with the majority vote. It was extremely rare that I was a minority vote.
3) I never made a jury comment on a single occasion.
Based on 1) and more so 2) and 3), Admin had no reason to question my ability to serve on jury impartially and fairly based upon my jury service (and history of alerts).
Anyone who has read my posts will find me highly critical of Hillary Clinton but there is zero evidence that I was a poor juror.
On April 27 I provided you links to your OP in HCG and your alerted post that was hidden and was never summoned for jury again/
You stated in an open thread that you would contact Admin about an alerter (me) that was at the time unknown to you.
I respect Skinner and DU for several reasons.
I have enjoyed DU for years as PP93 and other another screen name before DU2 but still haven't hit 10,000 posts total. I have posted at a greater rate recently than ever.
Skinner has been open about his support for Hillary Clinton yet allows a forum with diverse opinion and many of us at DU are not fond of Hillary Clinton and neo-liberalism in general.
DU Skinner and DU Admins have every right to be less than fair and limit discussion and ban or limit posters privileges as DU is a private entity. I have no problem with Skinner or DU.
I merely thought this was an opportune spot to share my experience and you are part of the experience.
