I always vote to leave a post alone for three reasons:

A) I feel like having the offender's post hidden absolves them from the embarrassing nature of whatever it was that was so offensive. It, to me, is kind of like giving the poster a mulligan.

B) I feel like the post should stand so that it may be refuted. There are instances where a poster's opinion could change, if a good and fair argument is made against it. I understand that this is somewhat "pie-in-the-sky" thinking, but it has happened before, and will happen again. The best way to defeat an idea is to have a better idea, so to speak.

C) I do not like the thought of limiting someone else's speech, even if it's egregiously offensive.

On to my question:

Given the above, would I have my jury privileges revoked if I vote consistently to "Leave it alone?" My decision is never partisan. I think in my whole time here, I've only voted to hide a post once (and I can't be too sure about that; can't remember if I changed my mind). So, I'm either at 100% or 99.99999~%. I cannot remember the circumstance as to why I made an exception, but if I did, I actually wish I could take it back.

Even though I'm a Bernie supporter, I apply this principle equally to Clinton's and Sanders' supporters.
