Still, with the new "opacity" of the jury system: we don't know who posted the "offensive" note and, of course, how many posts they had, it is hard to know.

I sometimes try to search and find the post and usually am glad that it survived. Mostly, I just cast my vote and forget about it.

Oh, and by the way, I exchanged posts with someone who I thought was new, is not, just got a new username after the calamity and started the counter anew.
