I agree with your sentiments - but the amoral and stating Nance could be a 'much better human being' were still out of line.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"in your amoral need to close ranks around The Party."
"you could be a much better human being"
What a nasty nasty personal attack.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Dec 12, 2014, 07:36 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerted without merit. Get over your silly old self fer crisakes.
Wanting to hide a post that disagrees with you is taking a cowardly approach IMO.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Aw, come on. It ain't that nasty.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Truth hurts.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Calling another DUer amoral and sanctimonious is a clear personal attack to me
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: From justanothergen: I agree with what the alerter pointed out. If this survives a jury - I would hope that scootaloo would remove that. I agree with the points being made - but the words used are personal attacks on the person scoot is responding to. It can be said without posting that to Nance.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: A typical response, not surprised in the least.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Well said. Fuck all this twisting and parsing of words from political hacks.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

None of the revelations of late surprise me. I am not going to hop on the outrage train today.
