AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
On Thu Jun 4, 2015, 11:13 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

He wasn't banned for using that word. He was banne for
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6781713

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This poster is calling out EarlG as partisan and claiming he doesn't care about DUers using the c.nt word, only that it was aimed at Clinton. I know EarlG would do the same if the target of the abusive word was Warren or Bernie's wife. This post disparages an admin who has been nothing but fair since this site was created.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jun 4, 2015, 11:17 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: it is how it is.. hide it.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is discussing the situation. This is a bullshit alert that makes du suck. Stop it.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm sure EarlG appreciates the ass kissing but you're proving the posters point. If you're not in lock-step with the group, you get alerted on or banned. So go ahead, report my jury comment, I know you want too.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, I sympathize because morningfog is wrong here as they so often are. But wrong is not hideable. There is no personal attack here and they did not suggest that use of the c word was OK according to THEM. They made the assertion that if the C word was used in general or at someone else, it would not have resulted in a hide. I disagree. I think morningfog is wrong about that. The c word is completely unacceptable and anyone using it would be banned.

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