Thank you jurors for hiding homophobe's 3 posts 7-0

It was a homophobic troll and they are banned.

You did well. Rather than hearing complaints, you deserve a thank you.

3 different juries, all 7 on each voted to hide.

Thank you.

And thank you EarlG for the fast ban.

I asked "Why don't you tell us what you really 'think?'" and got an answer.

very ugly.

Thanks juries and EarlG.

I was on one of the juries and was pretty sure it would be 7-0 but sometimes you never know so was very pleased with the results.

from the same thread...

YOUR COMMENTS

Now, that one is getting a little *TOO* personal.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Jun 27, 2015, 08:48 PM, and voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Stuck in jury duty so trying again.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The whole thread is a bit off. This post is no worse than others. No attack here.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the person asked thinks it's too personal, it easy enough simply tell the questioner it's none of their business? Certainly not hideable.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This idiot is going to be fed his ass by the people in the thread, I'm sure. I'd like to watch.

Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you.

He was a particular brand of sick, homophobic asshole. It's nice to see a little solidarity around here.

Well done juries (including any who were summoned on posts that were calling this troll out and left them there. Including mine.)

Think I was about 10. Then I thought about it and realized there were other ways to think about it. Had to deprogram myself.

and they project, because it's all they've ever known.

So when they say they are repulsed by gay people, what they seem to be REALLY saying is that their own personal hygiene is so bad, that the idea of 'getting it on' with another 'dude' when that other dude 'naturally' has bad personal hygiene (doesn't EVERY real man/dude have bad personal hygiene???) is an idea they find un-sexy.
