when a simple K and R will not suffice.

Look, let's be real honest. People have been aware that the current policy is ripe for mischief. There are groups of people trying to tweak the juries so that someone gets the magic number of unrecs. What is worse is that many of these "jurists" do not even put their reasons down. Now, I can understand that some jurist do not want to get spammed with people going "You did not vote for my friend , so we will f**k you up, you Better Believe it!" However, I see Juries where the majority does not even add an explanation, then something smells fishy.

This applies to all issues, economic,LGBT, Feminist, you name it, there are people who want to squash dissent,and oddly enough, even when these folks make personal attacks, they never seem to get called out by Juries, especially if they were defending a point of view that is a bit centrist. I do worry, because I know that in 2014 and 2016, certain folks will already continue the great purge of anyone whose point of view differs from the majority.
