Since you couldn't resist spitting venom we can go back to the same old....

REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Repeated personal attacks throughout this subthread. This is a male member who accuses a female poster of not being a "real feminist" and trying to make feminism "look crazy." This is after calling her a homophobe earlier in this subthread, but when challenged could provide no evidence. His comments seem to be entirely unrelated to what she actually writes. He simply responds with one insult after another.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Nov 25, 2013, 09:41 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sounds like a good description of BB - she is definitely one of the posters that makes DU suck at times.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Thank you, alerter...for the well-reasoned comments. Looking over the thread, I have to agree that this should be hidden. One, because it's rather blatant as a personal insult (with regard to not a "real feminist," and two, because this poster could use an enforced break from this thread. Thanks again for the explanation.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I knew when I first saw this OP pop up that it would be an epic thread. I don't know the history here and certainly don't have time nor the inclination to read the whole thing. I think these two posters should take it outside and duke it out. Let the post stand.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Looking at this post alone, I don't think it needs to be hidden. Strongly worded, yes, but it's grammatical and the language is civil. And in this sort of exchange I'm not sure that there's any point in hiding the odd post here and there. (Probably would have been a "delete subthread" candidate in DU2).
***Sometimes it's a good idea to walk away from the thread.****
