In reply to the discussion: 70 Argentine people injured during terrifying piranha attack [View all]Matariki
(18,775 posts)58. That had to be one of the most frivolous alerts ever
You are laughing at people (children!) who lost fingers and toes and wonder why people are calling you out on it
At Thu Dec 26, 2013, 03:25 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
Even worse: "I only laugh at Argentinians who lose fingers to fish, not people from my country"
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4232308
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
I never made those alegations. This is a troll who just joined DU to flamebait. Please hide and let MIRT deal with him.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Dec 26, 2013, 03:44 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree. Original poster should not have put quotes attributing a quote from darkangel218 that he did not say.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Knock it off. This post is not hide worthy. "putting words in your mouth" or whatever is not a violation of DU rules. You could also be accused of posting flamebait and this is an improper use of the alert feature.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: To quote you, "cry me a river." Try being more sensitive to those who now won't be able to work, play guitar, touch type on a keyboard, etc. You're also doing an awful lot of responding to somebody you put on ignore, too, and continuing the flamebaiting yourself. I'll avoid going "WHHAAAAAH! Call me the WHAAAMbulance!" and just go with this: "I award you no points, and may God have mercy on your soul."
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
