AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Wed Mar 5, 2014, 06:56 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
Derp.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4607171
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
I vaccinate my kids and feel strongly about that, so I'm on HuckleB's side of this, but responding to posters with "derp" is rude and disruptive, and he's done it twice in this thread so far. He's developed a bullying style and seems to start these threads to entice people to bully. I think a hide might send a message to talk about vaccines and other science issues in a less disruptive way.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 5, 2014, 07:04 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a childish response , but not his worthy IMO
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While "Derp" may not be the most enlightened response, it is hardly worth hiding. It may be preferable for the alerter to simply walk away from this discussion.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Again, knee-jerk reaction from someone who may not have thought out their post. It's not offensive. It's just not thought out.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: derp
A simple, undefined reply when an ignorant comment or action is made. Brought to life in the South Park series, when Mr. Derp made a guest apperance at South Park Elementary as the chef for a day, followed by hitting himself in the head with a hammer and exclaiming "Derp!"
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Not true. I used to be, if not an ANTI-vaxxer, I was a vaccine skeptic.

I don't think my intellect is up to addressing this final argument of yours.

All woo secures itself by demanding it's believers cut themselves off from reality.
