You ever have DU jury duty and the person being reported on is saying something you just DO NOT agree with [View all]

And then you read the Rule, hoping you can find some reason you can ding the poster for their terrible take?

But you can't, and then you end up going "darn it, it doesn't quite break the rule, so FINE, it stays" (also, humbug!)

I don't, I mean, that never happens to me, I just thought maybe sometimes other people might have that happen

If the alerted post doesn't objectively break the rules, I will usually let it pass. Eugene Feb 6 #5

Yes, I always do that, the rules are the rules and I read them carefully again, every time AZJonnie Feb 6 #6
