AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Sun Aug 16, 2015, 01:36 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

She probably bought a dime bag with your and others recent donations......
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7082952

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

TTW has been a contributing member here for over a decade, and especially providing great posts in the pet forum, many, many regarding her Yoshi clearly showing how much she loves him. Bought a 'dime bag?' Cruel, hurtful, OTT, and IGNORANT. From a new poster, no less.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Aug 16, 2015, 01:46 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Great, just what we need here- another hater.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This post is in really bad taste, but I don't think for that reason it should be hidden. Let it hang there and be a source of chronic embarrassment to the author.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Very cruel comment for someone who is struggling.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Admittedly ignorant, but think it was said for effect, not to be cruel.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Beaglelover is right. Leave It Alone.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The truth hurts. TTW needs help and I'm sick of this fleecing of good DUers. And Magical Thyme should self delete this thread.

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

who in the world is going to help her pro-bono with a theft of dog food case? bettyellen Aug 2015 #224

the sad thing is is that no one stole her dog food it was donated and then the shelter msanthrope Aug 2015 #226

I have no doubts it was not stolen. But I fear she is latching on to that and some other item- bettyellen Aug 2015 #228

Isn't that kind of hare-brained? What damage did she suffer? Demit Aug 2015 #235

So, X's post leads to her netting more than 1K out of concern for Yoshi and now she wants more... bettyellen Aug 2015 #236

per Msanthrope, he had kennel cough magical thyme Aug 2015 #84

You are absolutely, unequivocally wrong. Being in a stable, healthy home KittyWampus Aug 2015 #93

The fact that Yoshi earned her 1K this month alone- and not a cent went to veterinary care for him cinches it. bettyellen Aug 2015 #99
