How many DUers have left or been booted because of DU politics?

40. Respectfully disagree.

I know that I take Jury service very seriously. I can always feel my heart rate go up when I do this. Sometimes I even go back and reread the rule and rethink what I'm doing, trying to make sure I'm making the right call. We don't see the authors of the posts or know any information about them. Jurors are allowed to read the posts above the post in question--again with no names or identifying information. Every once in a while after I'm finished I'll try to go locate the thread to better understand what was going on in that discussion and see whether or not a post actually got removed, just so I can see if I made a decision others agreed with. IMO the jury system is brilliant. I jokingly told my mother the inventors should patent it and sell it to other messageboards.
