  • So discussion of jury nullification is ok as a general topic. If someone mentions JN in the context of a crime that has not yet been committed then that’s not ok. If the crime has already been committed then that’s ok. If the crime is not violent in nature then we can discuss JN, and if we are just having a general conversation about JN that’s ok too.

    Specifically, the concern is that talking about JN in the context of some hypothetical violent crime that has not yet been committed could be interpreted as advocating for violence.

    This sounds pretty stupid so far, but my question is then, why wrap the ToS around specifically jury nullification? Why not just reiterate the ‘no advocating for violence’ policy.

    If someone is advocating for violence, then adding on some point about jury nullification is irrelevant, they are already breaking the rule.









  • Do nothing / don’t show any romantic interest.

    Get to know her better as a friend. If she becomes interested or is interested in anything more, believe me you will know.

    Seriously, just forget about any romantic possibility. If she is interested then she will make it happen… otherwise you will just ruin your son’s friendship for no reason.

    Because your example sentence uses the word ‘went’ rather than ‘was’, you need a comma because those are two separate I dependent clauses.

    You and Dave were together and then Dave leaves you and goes driving by himself… me and Dave, then Dave went.

    If you used ‘was’ then those would not be independent clauses and therefore a comma would not be used. It was me and Dave and Dave was driving.

    Edit: also, why the downvote, we are having a conversation here ??

    I don’t believe that’s accurate.

    There are only two things in the list, pig & whistle.

    They want more space between pig and &.

    They also want more space between & and whistle.

    If we were listing three areas where they want additional space we would need at least one comma, and I would argue for the Oxford comma as well, however we are only listing two areas where we want more space and so no comma is needed.

    Sure it’s nearly unreadable, but I think the punctuation is correct.
