At Thu Mar 21, 2013, 10:23 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

damn
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2547074

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:

Unbelievable. First warren comes in with a late attack and an attempt to stir shit, and now this guy with a direct personal attack, over a comment that was deleted hours ago. Personal attack, rude, disruptive, etc. Please hide.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 21, 2013, 10:31 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: On the face of it, I don't consider this post rude, insensitive or over the top. To describe a person with which you disagree as "cold" or "heartless" is not outside the realm of discussion, and certainly not here. But I'm putting that aside for a second and examining the post they were responding to. It is not unreasonable, over the top or insensitive to respond to RedQueen's message in such a way. On the balance of those two examinations, I vote to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Yes, it's a personal attack.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

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