I do not understand where you are coming from with this...truly. A random troll shows up, as they often do, and its posts were deleted and it was banned...Du did its job. Reposting the deleted post from a banned troll would accomplish what, exactly? NOTHING. It will not shed any light on anything because: the troll was a racist idiot. And no one is stopping anyone from posting a thread about the incident, if the goal is to educate. Instead, you chose to focus on defending an indefensible act. Why should this poster be allowed to repost racist crap, even if it is to educate? Would you support the right of a white racist to do the same? Really...if someome wanted to repost those comments to argue how correct they were, would you have a problem when THAT jury voting to remove the thread? So this is really about the supposed unfair jury system...ok. But this is a really piss poor example.

Sorry, I don't know what thread you're referring to. Recently? betsuni Feb 2016 #243

the thread in question noiretextatique Feb 2016 #246

Oh wait, you mean bravenak's thread. I get it. I didn't read that thread yet. (nt) betsuni Feb 2016 #245

yes..that part was omitted noiretextatique Feb 2016 #247

i have zero respect for this tactic noiretextatique Feb 2016 #244

this happened in an OP by bravenak claiming sanders thinks all blacks are poor noiretextatique Feb 2016 #248

what does it matter what the OP is about ? the issue here is the use of the N word towards 1sbm and JI7 Feb 2016 #249

the trolll was banned, the post was deleted noiretextatique Feb 2016 #252

I don't like my brother and sister being called the N-word by anyone and I'm white. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #294

how do you plan to stop trolls from coming here and using the n word? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #299

If somebody called you the N-word... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #302

if it is alerted on, which it was noiretextatique Feb 2016 #305

honestly, that's kinda nuts noiretextatique Feb 2016 #312

How can you say due process is nuts? DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #314

because: he's guilty noiretextatique Feb 2016 #316

One can and should not be found guilty without due process... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #321

You keep arguing around this reality noiretextatique Feb 2016 #325

There are virtually no firm rules on what can be hidden. It is a jury decision. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #332

That's just not true. If it is egregious enough noiretextatique Feb 2016 #335

There are no firm rules... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #344

Because: he is not a "defendant" noiretextatique Feb 2016 #348

There was a complaint made against him in the form of an alert... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #353

There is no such rule. OilemFirchen Feb 2016 #341

Reposting the deleted posts of banned trolls noiretextatique Feb 2016 #358

Hey! Look at what the alerter I was just on a jury for gave as reason for alert: betsuni Feb 2016 #253

Yikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! sheshe2 Feb 2016 #254

juries are selected randomly noiretextatique Feb 2016 #255

Everybody knows juries are selected randomly. betsuni Feb 2016 #262

this OP claims there is a concerted effort to silence black DUers noiretextatique Feb 2016 #267

I am bereft our brief sweet romance on the other thread was cruelly ended by a locking. betsuni Feb 2016 #293

This is the most important post I've seen. Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #257

riddle me this: how can a randomally selected jury be inherently baised? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #260

If 85% of your jury pool holds certgain belief, they are inherantly biased. Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #270

so...what is the inherent bias of DU juries? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #271

Where in the hell did you read that? leftofcool Feb 2016 #274

take a moment from reactionary outrage, and read noiretextatique Feb 2016 #301

We are discussing a jury system that biases the outcome in favore of the majority's narrow ideology. Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #317

it was not a problem until now noiretextatique Feb 2016 #320

I think when a majority, whether benign or malign or neither, controls a system Agnosticsherbet Feb 2016 #365

i agree it is a possibility noiretextatique Feb 2016 #377

The inherent bias is against 1SBM. OilemFirchen Feb 2016 #337

The same way a randomly selected jury pool from the antebellum south... DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #297

so...every white person here is racist? noiretextatique Feb 2016 #303

I would never suggest every white person here is racist. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #306

so only the 85% who supporter sanders are racist? you may have a point noiretextatique Feb 2016 #310

Respectfully, that isn't what I am suggesting. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #313

and i respectfully disagree noiretextatique Feb 2016 #315

That is not what I am suggesting DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #319

He is not a "defendant"...he's a poster noiretextatique Feb 2016 #339

Of course I would... Fairness is a hill I would die on. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #340

okay noiretextatique Feb 2016 #379

The race of the poster is ancillary. The candidate he or she supports is salient. DemocratSinceBirth Feb 2016 #380

perhaps it is the bullshit posters noiretextatique Feb 2016 #389
