ALERTER'S COMMENTS

this is just flame bait and therefore inappropriate

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 30, 2014, 10:56 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Would the poster like some cheese with their whine?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why is it flamebait?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Bob Dole, is that you? (He claimed that Clinton's offer to not go negative in the 96 election was merely a propagnda tactic.)

It seems the alerter here thinks any attempt at conciliation is some kind of devious plot (i.e., flamebait).

The OP could not have dreamed up a better example to make his case than this alerter.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Even if that were true, most of the shit in GD is flame bait. You'll wear your button out alerting on all of it.
