It's time for this destructive meme about shutting up during elections to stop,

Good grief

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:

So now discussing issues VERY important to us is a "bunch of crap?" We are "victims" because we want to know where our candidate stands? Is it okay to insult and belittle people for asking important questions?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Oct 7, 2012, 04:56 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I don't like to censor anybody, even this. Whining can be called out -- so can this. Hiding posts should be reserved for offenses that are seriously offensive, not just disagreeable.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Pointless alert. The post is appropriate.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: But Pro Sense got it exactly correct, the thread is full of whine.
Not even close, if "Fuck Obama" gets a pass here now.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Rather than alert on this post, the alerter should have responded in thread. I see no violation whatsoever of DU's terms of service and think ProSense's point contributes to the debate.

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

Evidently, someone who approves of this OP thinks censorship is cool if you disagree with the OP.

Made my day.
