May 2013

At Sat May 4, 2013, 10:57 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Was I supposed to drop acid before reading that?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2799745

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Multiple ad hominem personal attacks.

"Was I supposed to drop acid before reading that?
That reminded me of a sucky rollercoaster.
Overall a D, and that's being generous. "

because he doesn't want to address the content of what he's replying to. Also deliberately (I think) misinterprets the part about 'your freedom to swing your arms ends at my nose'.

Quite rude = hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat May 4, 2013, 11:17 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: 2 authors going after each other, if one comment is to be hidden, then so should the other comment. Leave it alone, or hide both. I choose to err on the side of caution. Leave it alone.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Snarky, but not hidable, IMO.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh please...must everything be written as if it is to appear in the Sunday Church bulletin?

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
