ALERTER'S COMMENTS
conspiracy theory claptrap. ToS states Don't go overboard with the crazy talk.
Democratic Underground is not intended to be a platform for kooks and crackpots peddling paranoid fantasies with little or no basis in fact. To accommodate our more imaginative members we tolerate some limited discussion of so-called "conspiracy theories" under the following circumstances: First, those discussions are not permitted in our heavily-trafficked Main forums; and second, those discussions cannot stray too far into Crazyland (eg: chemtrails, black helicopters, 9/11 death rays or holograms, the "New World Order," the Bilderbergers, the Illuminati, the Trilateral Commission, the Freemasons, alien abduction, Bigfoot, and the like). In addition, please be aware that many conspiracy theories have roots in racism and anti-semitism, and Democratic Underground has zero tolerance for bigoted hate speech. In short, you take your chances.

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: In short, you take your chances. Well, your chances are slim that this frivilous alert will net you a hide. Bad alert.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Doesn't come across as conspiracy woo.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This was a waste of an alert. Please allow me to disagree with the tone of this alert, and please leave it.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While I totally agree that it is kooky talk of the highest order, I think it is better to get it out there and let it be torn apart than to hide it and give the false impression that there is some kind of cover-up. Leave.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: RE's nuttiness seems to be mostly his own invention rather than any organized promotion of dipshit crazy talk. So while RE's latest spewage is definitely at least a half-bubble off plumb, I say give him a soapbox and let him continue to discredit himself. It seems harmless enough and hiding it would deprive onlookers of a good belly laugh.
