Proto (outline only):
A judge can DISMISS a case without prejudice if e feels that the statement is poorly worded for the question the caller is hoping to answer, or if the caller provided a lack of reasonable effort in presenting the arguments or evidence for eir case. The judge receives no salary for a dismissal but becomes Standing again. DISMISS CAN be appealed; the result of overturning a dismissal is REASSIGN and the judge in question becomes supine. [If the question is poorly worded and asks the wrong question, is it better for the judge to deliver a trivial judgement that doesn't answer the question, or simply dismiss, no harm done to either side, with the friendly suggestion that the caller try again if e wishes]. -G.
