6. In my mind, the burden of proof is on the alerter.

The link to the DSAUSA's website was right in the OP. All the alerter would have had to do was go to the website and give the jury the damning lanugage. Instead, the alerter didn't even bother to read the OP before alerting, such was the zeal. As a result, the alerter caused 7 people to waste their time in a truthful, factual OP.

I want to thank the alerter for bringing your OP to my attention, so I could req it. magical thyme Jul 2015 #3
Yet, the OP itself said that the DSAUSA is not a political party. In italics even. merrily Jul 2015 #4
and juror #2 took the time to research and confirm that the OP was correct magical thyme Jul 2015 #5
In my mind, the burden of proof is on the alerter. merrily Jul 2015 #6
on the bright side, the alerter introduced 7 people to the DSAUSA magical thyme Jul 2015 #9
So, in addition to thanking the 7 jurors, I should have thanked the alerter? merrily Jul 2015 #10
you don't have to do anything of the sort, nor did I suggest it. magical thyme Jul 2015 #11
You did indeed. No need for excessive repetition. merrily Jul 2015 #12
