REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Please review the posts on the FaceBook page for "Duchess St. Rollins", and those in this thread. This individual is posting disrespectful, denegrating, stereotyping, profanity-ridden rants on Conservative blogs, web sites, etc.. and is a self-admitted "troll". Her rant posts are being reproduced widely, including by this poster. The "Duchess" created the FB account recently, on July 17, 2012. I have evidence that this individual even deletes posts and blocks accounts of people who post respectful responses to her vitriolic rants. I do not believe that reproducing these posts on Democratic Underground is appropriate use of this site. I am a university academic, an active member in my local Democratic party, and I have been a regular participant in liberal local, county, state, and national political activities. Thank you.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Aug 5, 2012, 08:30 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You took a long time to write the reason you alerted. If you have some kind of evidence that this person could be harmful to DU you should present it to admin. Outside that I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you offended at the language used? DU'ers often use coarse language. I'm actually a little offended that you said you're a university academic--as if you're too good to be around bad language. I wish you would have further explained why you felt the need to mention that tid bit in your explanation. I'm voting to leave, again, if you have evidence that this person is trolling us, please present it to admin.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Just good clean debate
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not buying the alerter's bio for one minute.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh good grief. I was just reading here and there and notice some old disgruntled former DUers giving her shit there. I suspect that is what this alert is about.
If you have "evidence", use it to counter what she says. Why should I believe an anonymous, unnamed DUer as to who you are? Seriously. w.t.f?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with alerter, although some of Duchess' comments are entertaining. A bit rough for our standards, though.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
