Seabeyond is right. And it pains me to say that. Yes this is meta but I hope a good number of people will see it. An op about Bernie and the debates just got hidden. Did I like the op? No. Was the op essentially calling Bernie gutless? Yeah. So?
A benghazi op holding Hillary responsible for Ambassador Stevens death was forbidden.

The jury system here is rough justice, but it's a lot less rough if you don't let your biases lead. If you can't judge fairly, back out, and this is particularly true for Sanders supporters because there are so many more of us.

1. I did not approve of the hide either

IBTL.

Lots of META recently. The fight between the fascists and the common people is getting heated this campaign cycle. OWS has never cooled off in my opinion, just been a very slow boil. Bernie's revolution has brought it to the masses that may not have been there in a few years ago.

2. I agree. This is primary season and a variety of insults against candidates is SOP here.

I sit on quite a number of juries and rarely "hide" anything other than those that are egregiously racist, sexist, or beyond ridiculous. I never hide posts only because I disagree with the poster. Which is often the case.

4. Agreed! I rarely vote to hide anything

and it's certainly not because I don't agree with the poster.

3. OP holding Hillary responsible for Stevens death was NOT forbidden.

It has 16 Recs and over 250 replies - http://www.democraticunderground.com/1251555176

5. Locking.

As you stated, this OP is meta and by definition all OP that complain about jury hides are considered disruptive meta discussion per the pinned thread in GD.

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a a whole thread dedicated to falsely accusing DUers of receiving Republican talking points by email and repeating the points on DU. Disruptive and meta.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Aug 28, 2015, 07:47 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not sure your comment holds up having read the thread.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't like it Buster but not gonna hide either.

This infighting baloney is just so tedious.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't see anything about receiving GOP e-mails. The OP states that some are repeating GOP talking points. There have been quite a few threads that sound like the trolls have arrived.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Another groundless alert. Nothing wrong with the comment at all.

I was juror 4. I didn't like the OP but it wasn't hide worthy. So no, when sitting on a jury I do NOT let my biases lead.
