On Thu Mar 27, 2014, 04:27 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

William Pitt and his supporters are the reason we will lose the Senate in 2014
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4734916

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Blaming Will and the people who agree with him for the Dems hypothetical loss of the senate? Seriously? Alot of the people this person is saying this crap about are the very boots on the ground activists and grassroots campaigners. It's offensive.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 27, 2014, 04:34 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am not hiding this.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Much as I dislike this post, I cannot in good conscience vote to hide. there are too many petty hides on DU as it is.

Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: personal attack. style fits that of a famous "will pitt hating troll" which was active on du for quite a while
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Aw.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You can't have it both ways. You can't allow the nasty hyperbole in Will's post and then cry foul when this person uses hyperbole back. I have a feeling this will get hidden and that will be proof of an ugly double standard.

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