Well here it goes. Lets play guess the alerter!

Accusing another member of being racist, with no basis in fact. Refuses to point out where the racism is (#354). It's an ugly accusation against someone who has never been known to make racist posts.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Apr 25, 2014, 05:47 AM, and voted 5-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: agreed about calling someone a racist, though the whole thread is an absurd joke..
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While I find all the drama over Will Pitt after a month to be a lot of overblown whining at this point, I don't see bravenak as saying rrneck is racist, but pointing out a double standard on DU: if you are a member of an oppressed group, your posts and OPs are usually held to a higher level of scrutiny and criticism. That is what she is pointing out.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: over the top attack against a member
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
