Still alert stalking

On Mon Oct 26, 2015, 07:16 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Good for you. I am not a Third Way Progressive.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1251&pid=726795

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"Third Way Progressive"

Personal attack. It's the kind of insult corporate stooges invent to insult real progressives.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Oct 26, 2015, 07:23 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Huh?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am not a republican. Does that mean I am saying you are? Please read the terms of service. Also please realize this is a forum for adults.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's not going to happen alerter
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This was close for me. Ordinarily I don't care about little snippy comments like this from people...and the other person needs to grow thicker skin. But I know calling someone a Third Way Progressive because they support Hillary is a slippery slope and ridiculous argument. The insinuation is a personal attack.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Good grief! The term Third Way Progressive is being used all over the media and social media to describe Bernie supporters. Get over it!

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Disrespecting a Democratic presidential candidate and Senator by referring to him as "BS". This has to stop.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Oct 26, 2015, 08:59 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Maybe you should just stay out of the AA group?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You have got to be kidding! First, if "disrespecting" a candidate got a hide - it would eliminate about 2/3rds of the bash and trash in GDP now. Next, an abbreviation is a problem??? Leave it!
Is this stalking the AA group? Why alert on such trivia?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not hide worthy
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Looks like the alerted is alerting on the wrong thread

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

Everybody does that here, including Sanders supporters themselves.

I guess if that's no longer acceptable they'll have to stop using JFK, RFK, LBJ, MLK, BHO, HRC, etc.

"BS?" Those are his initials whether somebody with his mind in the gutter likes it or not. Should a miracle occur and he gain the White House, you'll see "BS" in newspaper headlines all over the place. That alerter will last maybe two weeks and be dead of the chronic vapors.

I knew this group was being alert stalked (they got bored with the atheist group, I guess) but it's really getting to the ridiculous level.

The PTB really need to do something about alert happy trolls and bullies.

So she can compile everything into a nice little file to send to Skinner who is still singing the "there is no alert stalking" song.

We have ONE DUer who is saying he's been on three juries for ONE DUer just in the 4-5 days that's she's been back on DU. But no, no alert stalking folks. Just a figment of our imaginations.

Absolutely unfucking real.

Jurors #1 and 5 broke it DOWN. But it won't make a bit of difference. The two jurors that voted to hide that post should be permanently banned from all jury duty.

It takes some sad people to abuse someone like bravenak and what they are doing is beyond abusive imo. I don't know why they feel so threatened she is a very nice person. On a discussion board you should be able to have a discussion. This is suppose to be an adult discussion board, some people need to stop acting like elementary school children.

I would guess, it's because she, started off as a strong supporter, and is of the demographic that is sorely being missed. Her presence, as a, now, non-supporter is a testament to their, un-admitted wrongs.

This is akin to someone coving they ears and stomping their feet.

And 'Supporters of a certain Senator with the initials of B and S, no relation.'
