On Sat Jun 6, 2015, 08:57 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
Ahh, the hypocrisy drips from your words. eom.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=6792499
REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Rude personal attack, intended to be hurtful, and unable to back it up either (see down-thread). We shouldn't stand for baseless accusations of hypocrisy. If you're going to call someone a hypocrite, be ready to back it up.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jun 6, 2015, 09:14 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This has the be the same asshole who unsuccessfully alerted on the same DUer yesterday with almost the same comments "Rude personal attack, intended to be hurtful, not discussing the issue at hand. 1 more hide and they're back in timeout yet again, so please do hide". Take a powder shithead, you're abusing you alerting privileges.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Being right or wrong about hypocrisy on DU is not a violation of the TOS, nor is it a personal attack or inappropriately rude. *sigh*
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a proportional response to obvious shit-stirring. EM jumped into the thread with a person attack, trolling for a reason to alert, I'd bet. GG shouldn't take the bait, but I'm inclined to let them argue it out in this mutual slap-fight.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

OP
I, too, noticed that. Not a poster in this group, but saw this in Latest Threads.

Incorrect. The request was to clean house of the gun trolls, instead of banning them piecemeal.

Someone who keeps on getting banned and re-registering just to talk about guns? Yep, that's a troll.

So you can hide my post with a jury? I'm not going to fall for that. You know I'm right, though. nt

In other words, you have no problem at all making allegations knowing you can not back them up.

No I am not saying you can buy "machine guns" at Texas gun shows, I said "go to Texas 'gun shows'"..
