72. Results of my jury service

At Thu Apr 11, 2013, 06:48 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Blah blah blah
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2652546

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:

His disgusting laughter at enslaved women forced into sex work is repulsive. Yesterday he spent an entire thread making jokes in a thread about a young Canadian girl gang raped and then shamed to the point where she committed suicide. His continual efforts to demean the lives of women raped, killed, and enslaved is as repulsive as it gets.

The other thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10022643125#post115

Keep in mind this is in response to the suicide of a young girl, a victim of gang raped that the article in the OP describes as having killed herself due to "slut shaming." Now when informed the sex industry he celebrates is connected with human trafficking and slavery at levels unknown in human history, it's a source of more yucks for him.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 11, 2013, 06:57 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I don't care to see the other thread dragged into it. The obnoxiousness here is enough for me to delete. Not sure who decides when the track record warrants the axe, but this is like twice in three days that I have voted to hide for this guy.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This particular post that was alerted on is not offensive, IMO. I would have alerted on a few different posts instead. I can't hide a post for someone's general behaviour in GD, but only for the content of that particular post.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Whatever posts he may have made yesterday are irrelevant here. It's this post that is being judged, and I find nothing wrong with it. In fact he specifically states that he does not find the topic humorous, merely the reactions of some responding to it are.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Alerter: Please stop abusing the Alert feature.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I thought they were talking about "The Sessions." ???

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