ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

GiGi again. He's been told it's a homophobic slur several times and continues to use it in order to hurt people. I've checked the TOS box and urge admin to read all of this thread.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 30, 2013, 08:06 AM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter needs to explain how Gigi is homophobic cuz I am just not getting it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: GiGi is over the top, hurtful and seems homophobic.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: HIDE IT. and I hope misogynist slurs are hidden, too. Enough is enough. HIDE IT.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The only person the poster is hurting is himself, eventually he'll wind up on everyone's ignore list. Flamebait does not need to be taken seriously all the time
