ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Poster says it is not rape because they are together today. Would it also not be rape if the victim were a 12-year-old girl who became infatuated with her (legally defined) much older adult rapist and was still with her today? This is a rape apologist. If they "love each other" after 20 years then it was not rape??!! It was rape, the court found so, and this fellow is saying it was not rape. That is the definition of rape apologist.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Apr 9, 2015, 12:27 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Just because you disagree with someone opinions does not justify an alert.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I find the alerter's language convoluted. Leave it alone.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The alerter convinced me.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Disagree that the poster is a rape apologist. They clarified their position in post 52.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Dude. Why are you sending your rebuttal to a jury? Why don't you try posting it and see where that goes? I'm not going to censor somebody because you disagree.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You don't get to define this. You are not the arbiter of truth. Read it...disagree with it....discuss it....quit crying to mama if someone says something you disagree with ffs...discuss
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
