ALERTER'S COMMENTS

No comments added by alerter

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 1, 2015, 02:59 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Perhaps a bit condescending, but not inappropriate.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh brother, seriously? Grow a thicker hide if you like to hang out here.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Part of me wants to vote to hide this as a punitive action, as I believe everyone has a right to an opinion.
However, the comment itself has not violated any standards of this community, and so I cannot, in good conscience,
vote to hide it. While I understand those who have been here for very little time can be suspect, the comment this posting replies to seemed earnest, and far from the usual inflammatory bombast that demands judgment.

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