REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Ask the admins how they are gonna cast their vote too since one of them is not American. I don't think this guy gets to make the rule that only Americans can post on DU. Rude and completely inappropriate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Sep 24, 2015, 09:51 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

How many more do you want to silence Willy? How many? Our voice is no longer allowed. You are doing an outstanding job silencing us. Stop it! . Lift EVERY VOICE TO SING! Every voice!
