In reply to the discussion: Meet an internet troll [View all]Electric Monk
(13,869 posts)72. Jury results (sorry BainsBane, your alert failed badly)
In fact, I'd say you got lucky that it didn't go 0-6.
At Tue May 21, 2013, 03:27 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
Nor do I.. especially considering that there is precedent
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2879684
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:
Entered this thread purely to shit stir. Skinner already hid his signature line calling attention to the sock I have banned well over a month ago. Now he stalks me constantly to harass me. This is predatory behavior for the sake of cruelty and nothing else. Yes, I screwed up by having a sock but Skinner allowed me to stay, and this guy has made his mission to harass me because he hates my views on certain issues. His behavior is disruptive and entirely counterproductive to any kind of political discussion. His only purpose is to sow discord. Is this a discussion board or a place for small people to engage in constant bullying?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue May 21, 2013, 03:35 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You started the 'troll' thread. What was your purpose in that - other than to stir up some shit. Pot, meet kettle.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: He has cited his proof. If facts are to be considered "over the top" or "rude" or "inappropriate," then I'm afraid that's going to make any sort of discussion pretty much impossible. The complaining poster admits that he/she screwed up by creating a sock account. Well, you're just going to have to own up to your mistakes.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I see nothing wrong with pointing out the *fact* that another user was caught red-handed with a sock-puppet. As others have noted, it's surprising BB wasn't banned outright for that.

It may be old news, but it still speaks to your ability to make an honest argument.

That jury vote had nothing to do with Mother Jones or The Daily Mail. It was about your sock(s). nt

It's interesting, too, to see how he's a semi-reasonable guy until the FOX talking points start.
