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

51. I disagree. I take it very seriously and I go by the rules and the ToS we all sign when we ...

join. Making racist claims, for example, is a valid opinion however wrong you and I think it is, and it will not be allowed to stand.

We agree to support Democrats, negative opinions about any Democrat are valid opinions but they will not stand here. We sign that we will not do this.

Making nasty cracks about women, Muslims, gays etc may be honest opinions, but they just aren't allowed, and in my opinion should not be tolerated.

I get called to juries three and four times a day; partly because I spend a lot of time at DU, partly because there's a lot of alerts - it is primary season. I see some alerts sent up because someone merely disagrees with a responder and wants to shut him down, some are clearly reactions from someone who misunderstood the comment, some are clearly in violation of ToS.

Its pretty hard to rig the jurys, and with the new system I feel there is a lot less alert stalking. For example, if your alert falls with zero agreement, you can't alert for a day.
