At Fri Jan 3, 2014, 02:42 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
White men are always fair game...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4271996
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
No comments added by alerter
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 3, 2014, 02:51 PM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: "No comments were provided by the alerter" - perhaps the alerter will help us by posting in the thread what they thought was wrong. If they don't, I will assume this was part of an effort to attack TreasonousBastard without good reason, and, if I am ever on a jury for TreasonousBastard again, I will bear in mind that they are persecuted on DU.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explaination of why the alerter finds this offensive?
Then, no hide. I really don't see anything wrong with this post, no personal insults to anyone.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I can't see anything here to be offended about.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Wish the alerter had taken some time to explain why they thought "This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate." As a white male, I don't find it any of those. We are often shown as the buffoons....art imitating life or some such. But over all, we have had it pretty good for a looooong time.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
