REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Divisive meta hidden in a group. They're persecuted victims? On DU? Really?!

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Dec 17, 2015, 11:14 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Divisive meta hidden in a group. They're persecuted victims? On DU? Really?!" Accusatory phrasing unsupported by any contemporaneous submissions even in view of relevant "alerted" post. Member who was "alerted on" has in excess of 15,000 (fifteen thousand) posts which ostensibly indicates not only commitment to DU but, as well, value to the community herein at large.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter's use of "they" is interesting. And this pointless alert looks like confirmed shameless alert stalking, not even hidden.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree that they are not persecuted victims. There is more reason for the hides than that they are supporting one candidate. And this is meta, plain and simple. It is not appropriate.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: 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.
