My DU Christmas present I guess -- another hide. [View all]

This time, I should have said a CHART containing numerous errors was "worthless."

Except, oops, I actually used the word "poster" instead of "chart."

So I got hidden for making a personal attack. The word "poster" was interpreted as "OP."

I've never deliberately made a personal attack on another DUer, and this certainly wasn't one.

Anyway, I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and all the best for the coming year!



AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDING IF YOU DON'T WANT A HIDE!


Bernie voted for the Libyan attacks, Hillary has called for the end of private prisons,

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"This poster is WORTHLESS." It's one thing to criticize a post but calling another human being worthless is oot.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Dec 24, 2015, 10:42 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I could have lived with it without the personal attack on the poster
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I took it to mean "poster" = meme in OP, not the poster as in person.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And so because it is too close to Christmas I find it far too difficult to see my though to a hide for one poster calling anothers posting worthless. Furthermore, on the benefit of the doubt to justify my decision I will see (poster) as a typo, I therefore think what was meant is- "this post is worthless"- leaning to the opinion it is misleading. Like it or love it that is the way I see it. Merry Christmas all.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I wish the nasty lying Sanders trolls would scurry off to JPR. This isn't good for our mental health.
