May 2013

At Thu May 2, 2013, 01:19 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

It's Green Party/Ron Paul talking points.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2786498

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:

Accusing the OP of being either a RW nutjob ("It's Ron Paul talking points&quot or otherwise, not even a Democrat ("It's Green Party talking points".) Pretty laughable that somehow the Green Party and Ron Paul are joining forces, in geek tragedy's imagination, but whatever...

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 2, 2013, 01:23 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: woo me with science is an asshole. I would have left this post even if geek had outright called him an asshole, under the same theory that says the truth can't be libelous. As it stands, the post is fine, and correctly pegs woo me's usual stupidities and green/Ron Paul talking points. Again, the truth is an affirmative defense.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: not seeing the problem
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's an opinion about the content, nothing against the rules.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I didn't see right wing nut job anywhere and accusation of not being a democrat. Talk about imagination. The jury system is not your personal soap box to be used because you like or dislike something. It's an opinion just like woos. Leave it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Stop it...This is yet another bullshit alert. There are no accusations in this post..just a simple statement of fact. What is laughable is that you would alert on that fact. The / doesn't represent a coalition, but that both are using the same BS talking points to excuse republicans from responsibility.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
