In reply to the discussion: We have made an adjustment to DU's "No bigotry/insensitivity" rule: please read [View all]MyMission
(2,000 posts)I might have displayed during jury service.
I seem to recall a post that I was asked to review, concerning a trans sports issue that I did recognize and think about. I decided it was only an opinion expressed and not motivated by bigotry or insensitivity. I didn't necessarily agree with the poster, but didn't see how it was hurtful to the person who alerted. It just looked like an opinion or point of view that wasn't harsh or obvious. I definitely would look at it differently now, with the rule change.
What I understand now, is that if we don't care for or about the post we don't need to reply.
If it's a discussion or poll about a topic, that's another story but decorum is still needed.
We all need to be mindful of how we reply as well as how we serve as jurors.
I will try to be sensitive to this issue in the future.
Thank you again EarlG, for all you do for DU.
