(13,869 posts)38. Jury results for B2G's alert on your post: 2-5 to leave it
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
I'm about done being called a racist by this poster.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jul 10, 2015, 07:16 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I've seen some of B2G's previous posts, and the shoe fits. imho
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Tough call. That probably does go over the line. But the other guy did call him a racist.
And frankly IMHO, the OP should have been juried, because this is a defense of the Confederate Flag, and it seems to reveal the poster as one of the RW trolls lurking on DU. If B2G is not a sockpuppet, he or she seems to belong in the same group.
I'm making a judgment call and letting this slide as a justified call out. I hope other jurors read the whole thread and read the OP and drew the same conclusion.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This sounds more like two kids accusing each other of being rotten, juvenile but not banned under DU rules.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No one does like a racist. That is a true statement. If they'd said "you are a racist", I'd vote to hide. But they didn't. I'd suggest putting them on ignore.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Entirely reasonable to object to being called a racist by a stalker.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Well, there's one way to avoid being called a racist.
