If so, then it should be lifted and amnesty granted for everyone.
My opinion of course.

but the other hosts haven't been active much at all lately. I've learned that hosting this group puts a target on your back, so to speak, among the gunthusiasts, and that's not very fun.

The jury was able to see the insincerity of that "apology" that was posted to you yesterday and it was hidden. That was hide number five so your most vocal harrasser is now gone until at least May and his account is flagged for review so hopefully the admins will look at his long history of harrassment and give him the boot for good.

context I couldn't with clear conscience complete the service so I had to dismiss myself.

If you feel an inner joy at having the opportunity to punish someone, you really shouldn't take part.

People point it out all the time when someone else gets a timeout, but like I've mentioned, I seem to have a target on my back these days.

AUTOMATED MESSAGE: One of your posts has been hidden by a DU Jury

Mail Message
On Mon Mar 30, 2015, 06:07 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I love how your fellow gunthusiasts are "accepting your apology". See you in mid May
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1172&pid=164454

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Gloating, saying the apology was not sincere, generally all around rude

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon Mar 30, 2015, 06:11 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Slimey post. No matter to who this guy is responding he can't respond back as he is on "vacation". Quite jerkish IMHO.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Where does it say that the apology was not sincere?
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ow, my feelings are hurt. Gun humpers can really dish it, but they can't take it.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given


At least jurors 2 & 3 get it. Juror #1, not so much.

I have both groups in my subscriptions but haven't really posted in a while. I was wondering for a while that GC & RKBA should have hosts that were evenly divided on both sides but it seems that they've blacklisted people who support GC (and gotten people who supported GC tombstoned).

I have reported posts in the past for being very violent- one said oh look this is what knives do, not guns and posted a picture of headless and limbless bodies. I told the Mod (who is pro-gun) that despite the fact we disagree on issues like guns but I don't like this post and he said "Whoa! I agree with you here." and got the post removed.

I wish there were both sides on the other board but this is good as well. I also wish some posts weren't moved from DU. I remember posting something (US vs UK gun control) after Virginia Tech in General Discussion (I felt it needed open discussion, not just the gun forum) and someone alerted on it and it got moved, I was actually really annoyed because it was a) Recent news, b) Gun issues and c) once it got moved it sank like a stone.

I hope America gets sensible gun laws soon.
