Guessing they are trying every post just to see if they can get something.

On Mon May 11, 2015, 02:26 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

No. Special snowflake has been a saying for - decades. Sorry, strike two. nt.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6655172

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

It's inappropriate to call another DUer a "special snowflake" suggesting that they can get away with breaking the rules.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 11, 2015, 02:30 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: Guessing you didn't get the results you wanted on another alert so trying this one? Saying "special snowflake is an expression that has been around for decades" isn't inappropriate. Better luck next time.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: you're both fighting like children and now you are whining to mommy
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This alert message is so inaccurate that I'm tempted to call it deliberately dishonest. I'm getting more than a whiff of alert-stalking here.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

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

Does my wife have to answer the door? [View all] diabeticman May 2015 OP

Are you renting or do you own your condo? DURHAM D May 2015 #1

We own the Condo. diabeticman May 2015 #4

Maybe you have tried this already but DURHAM D May 2015 #11

They have the excuse that there is a security door which leads to all 4 condos in this building and diabeticman May 2015 #12

Regardless, I can think of no reason DURHAM D May 2015 #13

No, she does not have to open the door. elleng May 2015 #2

He never annouced himself he just kept knocking. She knew it was the cops when she saw his uniform. diabeticman May 2015 #7

How did she see his uniform? You said you have no peep hole. KittyWampus May 2015 #108

Yeah, I figured she would at least ASK "who is it?" cwydro May 2015 #110

heh. It's a mystery. SammyWinstonJack May 2015 #192

Better yet, she should call the police on their non-emergency line. EL34x4 May 2015 #10

That would be my response. Call the non-emerg. number. Hoppy May 2015 #14

We own our condo. diabeticman May 2015 #8

why didn't you answer the question above about how she saw the uniform if she didn't open the door CreekDog May 2015 #213

Legally, you are right. But busting down the door is fun. Hoppy May 2015 #17

If it happens again, you should go to the cops and complain about being harassed by them. bettyellen May 2015 #9

...Or harassed by Nosy Parker downstairs Warpy May 2015 #24
