451. Here's the jury results on this post in case you're interested....

Thu Sep 4, 2014, 05:36 PM

Sep 2014

(Apparently they're alerting on everything)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"BTW, how is your doctor friend?" A personal attack trying to tie a long time DUer to a disgusting Discussionist troll (The Doctor) that was banned for extremely vile comments directed at her and other hof members. Only one person is responsible for those comments. She's used this dishonest tactic on many DUers.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Sep 4, 2014, 05:30 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: this alert is not just bogus but bullshit
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I really don't like people who used socks to mislead DU trying to attack DUers by implying an association with someone else. I can't see another explanation for "your medical friend", and the 'unresolved anger' and 'issues' stuff is BS too (yes, we don't like sockpuppets here, and someone asked for an example - it's your tough luck you were caught and exposed by admin), so it's a hide vote.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ridiculous alert and a total waste of time. Alerter should get a life.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Underhanded, unacceptable.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will....

Whisp has been PPRed [View all] pintobean Sep 2014 OP

as did oldhippie hrmjustin Sep 2014 #1

That one was an ass. nt boston bean Sep 2014 #7

Um I didn't follow him but skinner agreed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #9

I noticed he was pretty hateful to women. bettyellen Sep 2014 #20

That is probably why he was ppr'ed. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #24

I think being here 10 years and then PPR'd as a troll... DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #29

Well troll can mean anything. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #30

Totally get it. DeadLetterOffice Sep 2014 #37

Apt descriptor. Old hippies I know offline were nothing JimDandy Sep 2014 #209

Just so. As an unreconstructed freak in good standing, I felt his handle was inaccurate. riqster Sep 2014 #343

He was also a pro-nuclear troll. I'm happy to hear he's gone. nt bananas Sep 2014 #552

I don't get the Admins using the "sock" reason- for that weird rapey poster @ Discussionist, or bettyellen Sep 2014 #31

Yeah I was not please either with that reason. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #33

I think his MO was to deliberately creep out women.... bettyellen Sep 2014 #226

It might suck, but rules are for everyone. moriah Sep 2014 #111

Skinner explained that The Straight Story Sep 2014 #161

Ack, the link isn't opening now, but thanks for trying to explain! bettyellen Sep 2014 #217

Unfortunately BainsBane Sep 2014 #461

It's an easy out - TBF Sep 2014 #303

and to use that same message for Pipsquawk BainsBane Sep 2014 #424

and yet the community didn't hide a single post in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #55

It says no hide. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #57

That's why I limited it to 90 days. n/t Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #61

It could have been an alert that didn't get a hide. pintobean Sep 2014 #62

I'm guessing there were many alerts on his posts in the past 90 days. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #63

No, there were no alerts on him .... PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #119

How would you know if any of his posts were alerted? JTFrog Sep 2014 #122

Because he is my grandfather PsychoBunny Sep 2014 #128

Sad. Say bye back, and wish him all the best. polly7 Sep 2014 #134

Actually that was his sock BainsBane Sep 2014 #444

Even he wouldn't know if his posts were alerted unless they were hidden. JTFrog Sep 2014 #135

posters do not know if they were alerted on unless the alert ended in a hide or someone notifies uppityperson Sep 2014 #256

If he "pissed off HoF" their influence lies in alerting. Gormy Cuss Sep 2014 #131

hof has ZERO frickin influence on skinner. boston bean Sep 2014 #136

The person you are responding to has just been delivered a pizza. William769 Sep 2014 #414

LOL. Thanks for letting me know... boston bean Sep 2014 #422

HOF has less than no influence w/ Admin... and he would never know if anyone alerted on him bettyellen Sep 2014 #223

Exactly what influence on Skinner would that be? NuclearDem Sep 2014 #282

Post fail bro. Agschmid Sep 2014 #306

Those kind of comments are disrespectful to Skinner BainsBane Sep 2014 #453

I did a search of his recent posts and saw nothing that would merit a PPR BainsBane Sep 2014 #271

Yes, he'd turn up in threads on those subjects kcr Sep 2014 #274

I have to ask underpants Sep 2014 #428

You keep talking about it. pintobean Sep 2014 #139

you guys think youll find something really big over there, huh? it might blow up boston bean Sep 2014 #142

Who should I believe pintobean Sep 2014 #156

that account was created on the day duscussionist opened. how can it possibly be true boston bean Sep 2014 #159

You're like the Gladys Kravitz of DU. sufrommich Sep 2014 #148

Did you post that for all of the other announcements? polly7 Sep 2014 #152

It's considered bad form... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #363

I didn't get her locked out... I guess someone should have sent a memo. JTFrog Sep 2014 #364

A memo?... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #367

Yes. I'm suggesting I didn't realize she was locked out of the thread after a jury let her post stay JTFrog Sep 2014 #368

talk about bad form ... Tuesday Afternoon Sep 2014 #558

I really don't know what you're referring to... TeeYiYi Sep 2014 #586

if you think about the banning, you would realize it can't possibly be the truth. boston bean Sep 2014 #153

Yes, I know. Did you ever get an explanation? nt sufrommich Sep 2014 #157

I searched under the two names listen on her PPR message myself BainsBane Sep 2014 #273

Um... pintobean Sep 2014 #164

That was a blatant silencing tactic. JTFrog Sep 2014 #125

misognyists generally are clueless Skittles Sep 2014 #403

Absolutely. I remember thinking once, 'you were never a hippie, closeupready Sep 2014 #228

Well it might have been a combination of things. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #213

check out his last few posts ecstatic Sep 2014 #230

anti choice, anti women posts CreekDog Sep 2014 #234

Don't think I ever saw his "anti-choice" posts, but then again I'm not exactly surprised. nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #291

He was an unpleasant jerk with some obviously right-wing-ish views on race and gender. n/t nomorenomore08 Sep 2014 #290

Finally! gollygee Sep 2014 #85

I've known too many sexist old hippies in my life. hunter Sep 2014 #163

He was PPR'd as a troll BainsBane Sep 2014 #376

I wish we got more than I trooll response so I have no idea why he was banned. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #377

Can you find a post that would suggest that? BainsBane Sep 2014 #379

No I never really read his thread. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #380

Oh, I suppose BainsBane Sep 2014 #381

The reason I doubt it is because the ppr message would have mentioned it. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #382

That is a good point. BainsBane Sep 2014 #383

It looks like you were right that oldhippie had socks. hrmjustin Sep 2014 #432

As Skinner says, you take your chances with juries here. greatauntoftriplets Sep 2014 #27
