2. There also seems to be personality conflict issues...

Granted, that's always been present, but with the jury system, there seem to be a lot of alerts and general nastiness based on past personality conflicts rather than specific posts.

I have lousy memory retention -- -- so I just can't recall most posters' histories regarding how they've posted and interacted here at DU. But others have excellent memories, and it seems this is coming into play in the interactions, or lack thereof. I witnessed this in my limited jury experience, and it's why I declined to be involved any further.

The jury system feels very cliquish, even though I don't believe that was the intention; it's just playing out that way, and perhaps it will evolve beyond that stage.

Personally, I don't have much desire to engage in a public forum that invites snark, trolls and stalkers at this time, and right now both DU3 and ASAH specifically seem to have that potential more than ever. Plus, I don't have much to say. Period.

But that could change at any moment.
