At Wed Oct 23, 2013, 03:51 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Bare Knuckle Boxing - WARNING! NOT FOR THE SQUEAMISH!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/1018503398

REASON FOR ALERT:

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

inappropriate for the lounge and probably all of du, kind of sick

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Oct 23, 2013, 03:58 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: We could do without this s**t on DU, especially in the Lounge.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's the lounge 'fer' cryin' out loud. Don't watch if you don't want to see it. It's not like the OP was unclear about what you might see if you decided to click on it. Didn't you see Fight Club? Another option would be to talk to the OP about your concerns... *shrug*
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: What's wrong with a mutually voluntary fist fight. Fist fights have been settling arguments for millennial.

Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: This would be okay for Freeperville--DU s/b above it.

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

Three jurors voted that they felt ambushed by that train coming down the tracks at them.

It's like suing the tree you drove your car into.

I mean, congratulations on cramming a faux tough-guy act and a lame persecution complex into the same post. Neither is a laudable quality--in fact, they come off sounding pretty pathetic. But you show a range of patheticness in your post, so at least you're not a Johnny One-Note. For the record, actng like a prick doesn't mean you're "too mean to take down." This is the internet equivalent of staggering out of a bar and pissing in your neighbors' yards and then claiming you're a freedom fighter.

Honestly, you posted a video showing actual bloody violence on a discussion board dedicated to informal conversations and with a reputation for lighthearted silliness. I wasn't offended myself, but you're a jackass to think someone wouldn't alert on you. It's going to offend someone and all you were being is inconsiderate. It is, by definition, offensive material. Had I been on the jury, I would have voted to delete the post too, not because I'm out to persecute you, but because it's an obnoxious post from what turns out to be an obnoxious poster.

Good day, sir.



















I said "Good Day, Sir!"
