AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Mon Apr 6, 2015, 12:37 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
she, I agree with the sentiment of your OP, however...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6466057
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Rude and insulting from beginning to end. Following this poster's logic, it's okay to be rude and snotty as long as you're making a point. The only point to this post is camouflaging a condescending, exaggerated call out. Yuck.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Apr 6, 2015, 12:46 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the alerter was insulted that speaks far more about the alerter than it does the alertee
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: 2nd paragraph is dicey but seems like an honest attempt at discussion.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing out of line in that post. I suspect the alerter is uncomfortable with the post for personal reasons... but would likely benefit from looking in the mirror.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: cui bono speaks the truth
Juror #7 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.
