Justin...

What the hell?

This website is OTT lately, too many hides, too many voices silenced.

People should sign their alerts and their jury service, grow a spine and then we will see what is really happening.

We didn't always agree but damn this sucks.

not be difference of opinion. This is a TP item, if a person should speak to or hug a person then this means automatic boycott, such as Christi hugging and talking to President Obama after Sandy, how many times have we seen a post of Hillary Clinton and Kissenger with the hug on stage, this should not be happening.

for the last hide. I did my duty and honestly saw no reason to hide that post, but I pretty much knew what the outcome would be.

The system is being abused, imo, by people who want to shut down anyone offering a different opinion. As to owning alerts and jury votes by signing them, I agree in principle, but fear that those who disagree would then have another target to swarm and shut down.

I'm sure the trolls are proud of themselves for the destruction they've wreaked.
