Dandy 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 I thought of this while we were having a discussion in the "100 reasons...WWE sucks" thread. Why not start a jury of 12 posters (non-mods) that can settle our petty indifferences? I think if the 12 were selected by a majority vote, it would be quite fair. Example: Let's use myself and El Gigante (first poster listed after me on the online members list). El Gigante thinks I have been making an ass out of myself in the Movies folder. I am bringing biased opinions and disrupting the flow of the thread. Nothing to be banned over, but it is off-putting. He takes me to Kangaroo Court, where a decision is made on my punishment, if any. Or, punishment could be brought on El Gigante for wrongfully bringing me to KangarooCourt so the system is not abused. The jurors may find that I am not allowed to derail threads in the movie folder for one month, or I will be presented to the mods for banning. Whatever, you see how it would work. Also, it doesn't necessarily have to be a jury of 12, I just want to see "12 Angry Men" play out when dannymaffwasmurdered is the only one who believes Marvinisalunatic is not guilty and he has to plead his case until he sways the other 11 jurors.

Nighthawk 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2008 I object to the nearly universal usage of the term "just jealous". Just jealous? When I'm jealous, I'm not solely or minimally jealous, I'm fucking jealous. Accuse me of being jealous without being condescending. Jealousy is a powerful emotion.

Accuse me of being jealous without being condescending. Jealousy is a powerful emotion. I see your point, but the manner in which it is widely used (as it was in my post) is "the reason your are jealous," not literally "you are just jealous." Point taken, though.
