ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is so hurtful to all of us who have lost family to suicide.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Jul 29, 2015, 09:37 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: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Having lost and immediate family member to a gunshot suicide, I recognize this ignorant post as a boorish and ignorant mockery of Hemingway, but I don't think that it needs to be hidden.
Leave it, so that the poster can be appropriately ridiculed openly within the thread.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Can't agree, because then any mention of suicide will always be hurtful, and thus, the words 'suicide,' or 'took his own life' will be censored. It's a bit presumptuous to say that a hateful comment toward a public figure is "hurtful to all of us." Just who is this alerter presuming to speak for, anyway... I also just can't get how a hateful comment is an appropriate occasion to be hurt on behalf of one's personal family, either.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This post is insensitive to the problem of suicide and those who have been affected by it.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
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.
