Sorry for the confusion GD! My post that was hidden earlier by a jury decision was meant to report

the results of a jury I had served on. It has been my practice to make such posts since I first served on a DU jury. Apparently some, including the jury that considered the alert on my post, felt that I should not have reposted the offending material from the original alert. Again, I apologize.


The following is my hidden post with the unacceptable bits removed:

At Wed Jan 23, 2013, 07:58 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

GIVE THEM HELL HILLARY
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022244892

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:
REMOVED BY OP


You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jan 23, 2013, 08:03 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter's comments appear to bear no relationship to the post being alerted on. Either a mistake, or an abuse of the alert system.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I fail to see the offense and what the complaint has to do wpith the thread.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Huh! Someone is off their meds!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I guess people will alert anything
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The reason offered has nothing to do with post itself.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE 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.
A Jury voted 5-1 to hide this post on Wed Jan 23, 2013, 11:41 AM. Reason: This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See Community Standards.)
