"YOU CAN ALL FUCK YOURSELVES"
Pretty much the definition of over the top.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Dec 19, 2015, 09:54 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Does the alerter identify with being called an asshole?
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems reasonable in context
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Fuck" is a pretty common word on the DU.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The underlying message is a valid one, but poster needs to exercise more self-discipline in how he posts such ideas. Reluctantly voting to hide.
