REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This post crosses the line by saying this about a fellow DUer (even though unnamed), "and some fucking dirtwad stepped up and called me out over my "increasingly cringe-worthy" posts. Well, ya know, FUCK him, because he is now on my ignore list."
The poster's point could easily be made without attacking another DUer - this isn't a constructive way to start a dialog, and I wonder if it's intended to start a flamewar.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 1, 2014, 04:07 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: To the alerter; Blah, blah, blah, blahdy blah, blah.

Jesus H Christ on a pogo stick juggling chainsaws.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No call out by name, and I agree with the poster on almost all points. Expect it to be hidden though.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Answer this in the thread. Not hide worthy.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Rude, even for an Internet board.

I was Juror #1. You are free to hold any opinion you care to.
