AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Tue Jul 1, 2014, 10:34 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

If you aren't hysterical, you aren't paying attention!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5177910

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

He is all over this issue making light of it. He uses "hysterical" (has sexist connotation) and that picture of a woman and IMO this post goes over the line. There are lots of posts making light of this issue but this one is a little to obvious with the sexism so I'm alerting

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jul 1, 2014, 10:43 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems to me the poster is just being a little sarcastic. The pictures posted along with it are humorous. I think it's a bit of an over reaction to take offense.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm hiding because the poster is solely interested in stirring up b.s. - oh, the poster is a troll too.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Post is slightly obnoxious with sarcasm, but I find the alerter's hair trigger claim of blatant sexism to be without merit.

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