ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
ZoeIsRight has been posting like this for several days. Some have been cancelled, and this one does too. Over the top in language and is the kind of thing that helps make DU suck
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Dec 16, 2012, 11:14 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Talking this about about canards and friends is acceptable. If said of the poster, would be unacceptable.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Language like this is not acceptable toward another DU member.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: He's not saying a DUer is an idiot, he's saying the friend he's talking about is. Oh wait... I get it! There's no "friend!" It's the OP himself who's spouting that RW talking point! So clever, MassedPole. NOT.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
