(32,886 posts)I was on that jury that voted 7-0 to hide. I then noticed that this poster had his transparency page exposed.
I can never resist looking at past hides when I see someone's transparency page exposed and for a couple of reasons. One of which is, I want to see if all the hides are fair and thus their timeout is fully earned. In this case, I noted this particular post that was hidden http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5611560 which attacked me in a discussion where I hadn't even posted in the OP and incorrectly identified me as a contributor for a particular network, which I am not. A contributor is a specific term in media that connotes paid employee, which I am not. I am not an employee of any television network, nor does any television network pay me for appearances. But it is interesting that this person attacked me in a conversation in which I was not participating. I would never have seen that post had this person not attacked you and I was not called to be a juror.
Someone who goes out of their way to attack another DUer not even participating in a discussion, well, let's just say admins should examine whether that kind of a person belongs here.
