REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

How classist and condescending toward another DUer. He edited out trailer-trash and white-trash to "cater to trailer-dweller sensibilities".

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jun 26, 2015, 12:56 PM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a teachable moment...Classism is wrong but I reluctantly vote to leave it
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Ridiculous alert
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Still offensive- 'cater to trailer-dweller sensibilities' shows class issue and resentment even after changes were made b/c of objections.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: They're having an argument. Let it play out.

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