ALERTER'S COMMENTS

My way or the highway? Either like my candidate or kiss my ass? I am sick of this clown's belligerent posts--they aren't passionate, they are rude and nasty and sound like they are coming from a place where the writer isn't thinking straight--this kind of shit is straight out of "used car salesman" territory and he needs to just cut the crap. This blowhard posts intemperately and rudely, and his opinion is just that--an opinion. He's doing a great job of making Clinton Democrats--and we ARE Democrats and we don't deserve to be treated like fish bait--feel VERY UNWELCOME here. This guy is touting a candidate who is NOT (yet) running as a Democrat, and teling those of us planning on voting for a Democrat that we're assholes if we don't agree with him? --Instead of telling people to kiss his ass, or calling people who don't agree with his rude and blowhardy opinions "chickenshits, " he needs to learn to speak civilly and stop with the Kiss My Ass hyperbole. It's a big tent, Will--we're ADULTS here--enough with the childish and bullying tone. It makes you sound UNHINGED.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 16, 2014, 09:12 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Even though I don't enjoy WillPitt's posts, he doesn't cross the line here. He's not calling anyone an asshole, and he's not referring to any DUers as chickenshits.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Nothing wrong with the post at all.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: uh-buoy
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pitt's OP is fine. He's saying that a potential presidential candidate, who will run as a Democrat, should be given due consideration. What's the problem: some mildly abrasive language? Has the alerter only just arrived on the internet? It would take a lot more to be considered rude or over the top.

Also worth noting, Pitt's OP does not mention Clinton or Clinton Democrats by name. He challenges us to 'fish or cut bait' but does not actually accuse anyone of BEING chum, squid, or other fetid lures...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: William Pitt is indeed a bit of a ridiculous self-important blowhard, but I don't think this needs to be hidden. Given that his prognostications frequently prove to be embarrassingly wrong, better to leave them up for posterity.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What a pathetic alert.

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