(55,051 posts)Clearly our criteria for that varies a great deal. I would submit the fact that you use this site for the purpose of pursing personal vendettas rather than discussing politics or matters of substance is a far greater detriment to anything I have done. Yes, I had a sock for a couple of days. That has nothing to do with juries a year later. Your bait and alert accusation is specious. (It should be obvious the alert Nikon posted was not mine, since I didn't know what poster he was referring to, as is evident in my posts throughout that thread). Every single day people ask for links or evidence of what people say. I haven't seen you accusing them. I have links demanded routinely, and I provide them. Despite your view to the contrary, you are not King of DU. Yet you are here as exhibit A for precisely how the jury system is biased. What someone did a year ago should have no impact on a jury verdict for any honest juror. That you are here arguing it should shows the contempt with which you treat the responsibility of fair self-governance.
You think it acceptable to use this discussion to pursue your personal grudge against me. Why you consider your feelings about a particular posters more important than the issue of this OP, I can't begin to imagine. I suspect few other people care, least of all me. I suggest you take a hard look at yourself rather than constantly pointing the fingers at others. I will hold my posting record against yours any day because I talk about issues of substance. I could post a long list proving evidence of exactly how you use this board, but that is not germane to the OP. Suffice it to say you are in no position to pass judgment on anyone else.
You do realize Skinner is reading this thread? Yet you still can't resist sticking the knife in someone. It truly is astounding how little awareness you have of your own behavior.
