I was number 3, highly amusing in a way.


On Wed Mar 23, 2016, 08:37 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

"Family Values" asshole. And a Deacon to boot. Fuck him.

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling a long-time poster an "asshole" who had asked a question. Way over the line.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Mar 23, 2016, 08:46 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Isn't the poster calling the Alabama Gov. the asshole?
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I usually don't hide but this was unnecessary.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I believe he was saying the Gov was an asshole, not the poster
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think he's calling the former Alabama Gov an asshole
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is obviously referring to the scandalous behavior of the governor of Alabama, not the poster. For heaven's sake, read posts at least twice before hitting the alert button.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: They're obviously calling the governor of Alabama the asshole here. The alerter misunderstood.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The asshole was not directed at the poster!!

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