"Exhibit A" certainly did.

I didn't feel it met the standards of my community. DU is set up so that when something is offensive to people who are members of the community (... Exhibit A ...), they can alert on such things.

I did alert. My alert lost, and by a huge margin 0-6. The system worked. It's all good.

Your irony is not lost on me. But that doesn't mean I (yes me personally) have to be okay with it.
