Don't bother in GD-P tonight

[SheenaR]

Bernie posts are getting hidden like crazy and a post saying someone hates Bernie as a human being just got left 5-2 with the reasons very questionable.

Just giving heads up

1. Thanks

Forewarned is forearmed!

2. It's a real sewer lately.

Leave it to the floaters.

3. I got a hide earlier today for responding to a Hillary is a woman thread.

It was from one of the frequent posters that has bashed Bernie all year and now says she wants unity.

I'm done with GDP.

I'll skim for pro Bernie posts, rec & comment but ignore the rest.
Not worth my time to deal with the rest.

4. The Brock squad is out in force tonight

And calling for an end to the primary before Cali.

I eagerly await Cali results based on that terror.

5. If you go, be sure to wear one of these............

7. the alert in question

Maybe my reason wasn't strong enough - reacted too quickly? I'm Canadian - not a secret - its in my profile. We prosecute people for hate crimes/hate speech. Indirectly responsible for that kook that tried to set up a white supremist town in ND (?) by kicking him out.

YOUR COMMENTS

Expressing your Hate can land you in jail with the right judge

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Jun 5, 2016, 09:39 PM, and voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert text is weird. What does a judge have to do with it? Anyway, I think this is okay until the general election mode.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: @Alerter: HUH? "...land you in jail..." ?? What kind of alert is that?

The sentiment expressed here isn't something that I'd say about Sanders, but it hardly rises to the level of being alerted on or hidden. And the alert itself makes no sense either. Unless there's some oblique reference to some other inside-joke or feud that I'm unaware of. And even then, it's a pretty weak alert that doesn't even bother to describe what rule has actually been violated. I vote to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Just over the line. Writer can feel as he wishes. And Alerter's point about judges is weak. But Hate? I would vote against hatred of either Clinton and Sanders. God, I'll be glad when the convention -- not the pundits -- choose a nominee.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Uh, what? Plenty of people on this website have expressed their hatred for certain candidates, as is their right during the primary season.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you.

8. It's toxic.

The hate just oozes out of there...in fact it comes out of this entire site, with the exception of this group. I know it was nothing like this in 2008. Makes me a little sad.
