Of course I dont equate bullying on DU with Zimmerman's actions. It's a matter of degree. If I say "welcome to life", and you say "you're cracked", it certainly isnt like "get fucked" or "your a troll and need PPR". All I am trying to say is there has to be a line we dont cross. And I dont think it is hard to figure out that line. That's what we have juries for.
The jury system isnt perfect because DU members are humans and make mistakes. But let's keep these mistakes in proportion. If a DU jury lets someone get away with something, more than likely that person will get hidden the next time around. Trolls eventually expose themselves. Use the system of alert/jury. If you think it's flawed, propose improvements. We dont need special threads to call-them out suspected trolls.
