In reply to the discussion: Whisp has been PPRed [View all]boston bean
(36,221 posts)312. I asked in ATA the following
I just want to point it out to you, and see if you have a response. It's one of the more blatant examples... but it's not the only one.
If no one shows you this stuff, maybe you can say you never saw it. So, I'm posting this here for you.
And a jury 5-2 saw no reason to hide:
On Wed Sep 3, 2014, 11:39 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
Why don't you go fuck yourself, you slimy, ignorant pig?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5486479
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Says "go fuck yourself" OTT personal insult.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Sep 3, 2014, 11:54 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The whole thread is juvenile name calling and finger pointing and grave dancing. Grow up, people.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Most of the posts in this thread are attacks. Heck with it.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Wow. Poster really needs to calm down.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Polly has beer. Siding with her. Froggie ain't gone a courtin'. He's just baiting her. He could have left the thread any time but he wants to play. So he got told off. Good for Polly.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Absolutely not to someone who has been far, FAR over the top in viciousness already. Alert went to the wrong person.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

I didn't serve on the jury, I got the results from the thread the post was made. Someone else posted.
Here is the thread.

This is obviously a case of jury failure, right? Why do you think this wasn't hidden?
