Feb 2016

I called out people who rec'd the horrifying thread by RobertEarl (http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=1355553)

(it's the one where he compares SC black people to the slave in the slave/master dynamic)

MY POST

Some of you I don't know, some of you this is exactly what I'd expect, but some of you, please rethink this. You're better than this.

A Jury voted 4-3 to hide this post on Sun Feb 28, 2016, 12:39 AM. Reason: This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

That gets yet another 4-3 hide, while that absurdly offensive and counterproductive OP survived a jury. Madness.

And as usual, the hide folks didn't even want to explain themselves - I'm sure that was a very satisfying fit of pique:

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pity them. Many will be banned. Many will be sad in November.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is fine.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
