As a jury member, we do not know if the alert was made just on the post we are adjudicating or on multiple posts. It is possible that the Adolph post was also alerted on. It is also possible that the moustache post was only been alerted on after the Adolph post was made. I'm not saying whether either or both posts should have been hidden - I'm saying that in general I personally think it is a good idea to see the context. Alerts don't necessarily happen in post order nor do they happen in a vacuum.
