I think it's pretty obvious that there are posters in GC & RKBA who try to be as irritating as possible, hoping to provoke a hide-worthy or even PPR-worthy response. Don't take the bait...

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Poster suggests I am a drug addict. Hate-filled post.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 17, 2012, 01:46 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerted may want change his or her screen name if he or she wants others to avoid drug references.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: While condescending and somewhat hyperbolic, this kind of comment is not hateful, just dumb.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Personal attack. Unnecessary.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No, no one is suggesting that you are an addict. Lay off the alert button.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The poster was just riffing on your screen name.
