39. JURY RESULTS say meh :shrug:

Fri Jul 26, 2013, 10:53 AM

Jul 2013

It is not even good sarcasm. It is a disjointed post that shows really no humor or worth. And the responses to those who wish to get clarification are rude and dismissive. The way the OP keeps the gambit going by rudely dismissing genuine questions is offensive.

Someone else should alert and hope for a different jury.

Here is what I got:
JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Jul 26, 2013, 10:42 AM, and voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Post is using satire, not as well as could be hoped, but not intended to be harmful.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's fucking sarcasm. Buy a clue.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: I don't know if the OP is sarcasm or not, and I do hate to hide, but it is disruptive and mean, in my opinion.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Around here, the sarcasm icon is mandatory because many simply will not get it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This is sarcasm.

Thank you.

My only comment is to the asshat that thinks I need a fucking clue: This shit post isn't even slightly funny. I do have a clue. Here it is :: Sarcasm should be either obvious or funny, this crap is neither.

I wish that were the case, but from his defensive responses, I'd guess not. hlthe2b Jul 2013 #17
