At Wed Mar 27, 2013, 03:54 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

ERMAHGERD
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022574957

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:

Inasmuch as "ermahgerd" is said to be the pronunciation of "oh my god" by a person with a speech impediment, why is it necessary to use it here? Even though it has gained some popularity in lolcats, it can still be seen as derogatory by someone who has such a speech impediment. "Cutesy" is not necessarily kind or considerate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 27, 2013, 03:56 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: WTF?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Lighten up, francis, and take it in the humorous vein it was posted in, which we can all 'get'.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Ermahgerd! This is the dumbest alert evah!
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Or maybe it is just a fundie not wanting to say "OH MY GOD!!"
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: ermahgerd! What an OTT alert.
