On Thu Mar 27, 2014, 04:47 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

If you vehemently disagree with a poster, let it fly. We're all adults. Attack the merits ...

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Can we please stop the next 400+ post Will Pittriffic 'is not, is too' thread before it gets going? It's a call out anyway, saying Kitty Wampus "fucking sucks". Which people are already saying in the original thread http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024737567#post7

Please, not another one.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 27, 2014, 05:00 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Trying to shut down a thread by alerting on an individual post? Wtf?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Instead alerting, why not start your own OP on why DU should stop the "Will Pittriffic 'is not, is too'" threads.
This is not the purpose of alerting anyway. Linking to arbitrary posts, not in evidence in the alerted on post, doesn't help your case, in this thread either. DU has Ignore and Trash Thread functions you can use instead of alerting. Maybe you should look into using them.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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