Someone gets in a tiff and can't help themselves. Eventually, the likeminded swarm of adjitatators arrive and before long your post/thread is alerted. The swarm is the jury and soon you're locked out.

I don't care about being unlikable. I just wish the dozens of the people here who want to torpedo everything I say just put me on ignore. We all know who we our. But they won't. And they won't because they're the self-appointed yard duties.

What was the question?

Let me alert this and serve as my own jury:

Post is rude and singles out our swarm members. Hide
