REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Can we just please encourage the community to discuss things civally rather that resort to nasty did like "More ridiculous stuff from you."?

The alert text days I'm advising you that it's "hurtful, rude, or insensitive" and I think this post qualified as that.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Aug 10, 2015, 09:18 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: BB has made a DU career out of ridiculous statements. I will not hide truth.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "ridiculous stuff" <-- attacking the message. "you are ridiculous" <--- attacking the messenger.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Silly alert.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This whole topic has been skirting the edge for 3 days now. This doesn't rise to a hide level given the overall tenor.

There are a lot of people looking for fights on this topic and this isn't one of the more offensive or insulting posts.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Pretty mild IMO. I probably wouldn't want that leveled at me, but not alert-worthy.

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

"Moderates" of any kind tend to be quite ineffectual, honestly. nomorenomore08 Aug 2015 #30
Who has accomplished more? Barack Obama or Al Sharpton? (nt) Nye Bevan Aug 2015 #33
Sharpton has never been elected to high office, so that's a questionable comparison. nomorenomore08 Aug 2015 #57
