ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Take it to Meta
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Go Hawks
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Voice for Peace
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ignore, Trash Thread, or just pass on by - we all have the tools to customize our own DU experiences (and to eliminate things that add no value to that experience). Oh, wait.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why single out this poster for an alert? Leave it and give the alerter a 24 hour time out. Oh, wait.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I am due beer and travel money first.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nuclear Dem started it.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
