Wow
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=996373

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Asking gun fans to tone it down = RW religious nuts asking Muslims to apologize for 911.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jul 22, 2012, 12:00 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I am not unsympathetic to the alerter but there's no violation of any rules that I can see
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: the alerter equates all gun owners to rightwingers really the OP it self is more offensive than the alerted comment
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Anti gunners are much more shrill in light of current events.

Regarding this post - there is nothing to tone down.

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

I myself really haven't seen the thread asking for an expression of sorrow, what I have seen today is many getting up on their own soapbox and using this tragedy as a political vehicle for their own beliefs, that in itself is tragic for DU

Sorry, I missed your original premise. babylonsister Jul 2012 #46
