ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Looks like calling the OP a freeper to me. Insulting personal attack.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Mar 27, 2014, 03:38 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Since the OP is a call out and personal attack, I'm inclined to look the other way on this. The OP should have been deleted long ago.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: However, the OP calls WP a RW racist, and that has survived a jury, so retorting that ProSense has friends on FR is within bounds. It would be better if both sides toned it down, though by NOT STARTING MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I voted for "leave it alone" because it was in response to a provocative OP. Had it been an original post, instead of a return-in-kind, I probably would have voted to hide. The name-calling stuff advances no arguments here, nor anyone's interests.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If the jury let the OP survive with an insulting, thinly-veiled personal attack, then I don't see how this response is any worse. I don't like either remark, but let them discuss the issue without hiding either opinion.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: IMO, the poster violates community standards and should be booted off the site. Therefore every single post of his is subject to hiding.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
