I can't begin to express how fucked up your post is. Why the need to post on DU? For approval?
REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
Hurtful. Directly called a poster a racist when the OP did not condemn any race. Merely related a story and facts thereof.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 22, 2012, 07:52 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Personal attack.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The OP was atrocious, and this type of response should have been expected. It's like the old judicial concept of "fighting words." I think that while this post was harsh it was perfectly called for.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with the alerter.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The OP is spinning a yarn, and the poster alerted on is calling him on it. IMO, the OP is a complete "Cool Story Bro!" load of bullshit. Leave it. And the ladies posting in that thread need to take a cold shower.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
I was Juror #6.
