REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

There are a couple of members who like to harass and online bully by bringing up unrelated topics to a current discussion

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Feb 15, 2014, 08:24 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Posting nonsense in annoying... and can be harassing... but I don't see anything that rises to the level of being hidden in this post. For goodness sakes, just put the poster on ignore and maybe they will go away.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter: these links are not 'unrelated'. They show a pattern of RB TexLA trolling DU with flamebait; they inform DUers who may not know RB TexLA that they have not misunderstood the OP; it really was intended as flamebait, as is typical for this user.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't hide with you
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: General douchebaggery, but not worthy of hiding. The ignore function can be your friend.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
