ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Pictures of genitalia, even on the head of enemies, is totally over the top.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Oct 16, 2013, 07:26 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Stupid and juvenile. Hide this.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nice likeness.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh for fucks sake we're all adults and this is hysterical. He IS a dickhead and there is a warning. Stop with the pearl clutching already...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A picture of two d
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Chan790
(20,176 posts)I'd say on its best days DU is NSFW and generally PG-13.
Anybody 14 or older who is scandalized by a cartoony drawing of a penis needs to get out more and/or lighten up. It's those kinds of Victorian attitudes that are the cause of all sorts of social maladies, including some medical maladies. I mean geez, it's a dick, ~49.997% of the world population has one.
Is there anybody here that hasn't seen one or a drawing of one in their lifetime?

(135,425 posts)It's not like you've been prolific in your posting over the eight years you've been a member. You're averaging about eight posts a year.

(16,296 posts)Didn't realize you kept track of people's postings. Sorry if I offended your post limits. And , yes, all of us are arbiters of DU standards because we all have a interest in DU, even me coming here and appreciating it for 8 years. There truly are dick heads aren't there even ones questioning how "prolific" another member is?
MADem
(135,425 posts)You're the one--the only one-- defending "poor Ted Cruz" with a member on his head from the "meanies" on this thread.
Look, more than half your posts have been in the last 90 days. That's not MY fault. It's just a simple fact, one that is public information on this board.
You can "keep track of" anyone's posts if you like. That is what makes DU3 so great--it's entirely transparent.
packman
(16,296 posts)How do you make the quantum jump from my objection to a dick-head photo of (to use another body part, an asshole) to "defending poor Ted Cruz"? And why are you putting poor Ted Cruz in quotes - I never NEVER used that term. And who said anything about "meanies"? Your projection shows on what level you are operating
My post, if you care to read it, is about defending the integrity and what I consider the good taste of DU. If you think posting pictures of dicks elevates the status of DU, it is obvious you enjoy-and here I am projecting - viewing pictures of dicks and really do not care what is posted here and could care less about wallowing in gutter photos.
You are transparent, making an issue out of a concern about taste to attack someone. Take your Post-checking Nazi mentality somewhere else, what is it -you have to have a mini mun number of posts to state an opinion. I'm sure if you check on today's postings you can find someone else to attack because they didn't have enough posts to meet your high standards -lol.
MADem
(135,425 posts)Again--since you failed to take my point the very first time I made it (let us talk about "obtuse," shall we?) you are not--like it or not--the arbiter of what constitutes the "good taste of DU."
I, like most of the folks weighing in on this thread, find the picture perfectly appropriate, given the events of the past few weeks. If you don't see that, then you're the one lacking clarity.
You have options, you know. You can trash thread, you can ignore posters you don't like, or you can visit a heavily moderated discussion board where every word is tightly scrutinized and the slightest bit of "naughtiness" is scrubbed away, because....well...think of the CHILDREN!!!!!
What you can't do, though, is override a jury call. You tried, by going to the admins, and you were dismissed. Why? Because, as Skinner said, most of us DO think that Ted Cruz is a dick.
FWIW, I don't need to "attack" you--you do that to yourself, all by yourself, by continuing to cry about an entirely appropriate bit of mockery, given the context.
