ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Seriously do we need to open this can of worms with the hillary is a c
We know where people are going with this on the thread implying a certain word even if it is marked out. I don't care if people support or not support Hillary but can we not use such words or even imply them. This is just repulsive!
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 7, 2015, 07:42 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you're going to post an OP lauding someone who was banned for calling the female candidate that word on a democratic board,you shouldn't be surprised that some might object.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Personally I think we need to drop this and move on. The c word in whatever spelling is not right to be using.
I'm not a Hillary fan but at the same time I feel we should show her the respect she so richly deserves. Lets have a discussion on issues not on name calling
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This probably won't get hidden, but I vote to hide it for this reason: Replace Hillary with Obama, and replace the c--- with an n----. You would never be allowed to post that on the DU. Double standard much?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Hey alerter, here is a clue. When one uses the word to show what word they are talking about and uses it in a context that is meant to deride it's usage, it's not offensive.
However, if it is used against a woman as a derogatory/demeaning/misogynistic insult, that is where it becomes a problem.
Learn the difference.
I hope people are going to fall for this manipulating, ridiculous alert.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Um, NYC_SKP was nuked for calling Hillary Clinton a C*nt using a spoonerism. If the alerted DUer was calling her one I'd vote to hide, but this post is saying what he got nuked for which is different and makes the use of the word acceptable.
