AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service

On Sun Jun 8, 2014, 09:35 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

I'm trying to figure out why a post about white old men...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1187&pid=7438

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This whole thread is a massive callout of madfloridian and her OP in GD http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025062434

Calling her a 'white old woman' is nasty especially as madfloridian has been upset about attacks on older DUers.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 8, 2014, 09:54 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Absurd alert. Madflo started her own callout thread in GD. Seems she wanted the attention even after an apology was given.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
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 HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
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.

I have been sort of laughing about it with my mom all day. bravenak Jun 2014 #41

I don't blame him for everything either, but I am critical Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #210

And i hate the Keystone pipeline. bravenak Jun 2014 #211

Ding, Ding, Ding! We have a winner! Erich Bloodaxe BSN Jun 2014 #209

I think you get alert stalked Squinch Jun 2014 #2

It is really hard to stop. bravenak Jun 2014 #5

Don't stop. It's important. And even more important is that we get used to hearing Squinch Jun 2014 #94

I feel like i just did a sociological experiment on DU and we failed. bravenak Jun 2014 #95

Oy vey. I just read through the threads in question. Madfloridian is a good woman. Squinch Jun 2014 #98

Me, alert stalked? BainsBane Jun 2014 #4

Well shit! bravenak Jun 2014 #9

I always see it as a badge of honor...when they alert on bullshit posts....it means you VanillaRhapsody Jun 2014 #11

We're on the list together BainsBane Jun 2014 #12

Oh yeah, i just told 1SBM that he was on the list. bravenak Jun 2014 #19

Hey BainsBane. sheshe2 Jun 2014 #18

Thanks. BainsBane Jun 2014 #23

some think if one doesn't say the N word it's not racist JI7 Jun 2014 #49

who is that lovely gal - is that you? Skittles Jun 2014 #6

I'm pretty sure putting someone on ignore doesn't disable their ability to alert on your posts. Electric Monk Jun 2014 #10

is there a DU system in place to alert on alert abusers? Skittles Jun 2014 #14

When a post is hidden you get a PM saying so, and that has an alert button bottom left corner Electric Monk Jun 2014 #16

LOL - SKIP INTRO GOT CAUGHT??? Skittles Jun 2014 #20

They didn't ban him for it, though, which I still find surprising. Just a warning. nt Electric Monk Jun 2014 #22

Complete lie. You were warned, not me. If you're going to dredge shit up Skip Intro Jun 2014 #149

"I like CjeekDgg" nt Electric Monk Jun 2014 #152

Like a three year old. n/t Skip Intro Jun 2014 #155

"I like Cjeekdgg" was exactly what you wrote CreekDog Jun 2014 #171

The admin advises others to ignore you. Not me, you. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #175

Nope, anyone can read the link and see that you're misrepresenting it CreekDog Jun 2014 #178

I hope they do click the link! Skip Intro Jun 2014 #181

Skip don't lie. You did self alert your own post in Meta. CreekDog Jun 2014 #170

Post the screencap, CD. You claimed to have it. Don't talk about it, Post it. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #180

No, I don't keep screencaps, unlike you, and second I witnessed the post CreekDog Jun 2014 #182

Of course you don't, you never did. Busted yet again. LOL! Skip Intro Jun 2014 #183

Promise? CreekDog Jun 2014 #184

If only people were as gullible as you wish they were, eh? Skip Intro Jun 2014 #185

Creek Dog's account is how I remember it BainsBane Jun 2014 #205

Hi, Skittles, this is Skip Intro. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #150

is that your explanation? Skittles Jun 2014 #151

Sad. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #153

how does this have ANYTHING to do with the self-stalking? Skittles Jun 2014 #154

Did you ask me about any of it? Skip Intro Jun 2014 #156

you're coming into a safe haven group for African Americans and harassing people? CreekDog Jun 2014 #169

. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #174

except it is 100% true that you self alerted your own OP in Meta about me CreekDog Jun 2014 #176

. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #177

so now you're finally admitting to self alerting your own OP and claiming it was your friend... CreekDog Jun 2014 #179

. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #187

You're here arguing with people who keep mentioning that 1.5 year old thread! CreekDog Jun 2014 #192

. Skip Intro Jun 2014 #196

When you alert on your own thread which do you get first, the Jury Results or Post Hidden PM? snooper2 Jun 2014 #212

Can we block him. bravenak Jun 2014 #204

Talk about a high jacked thread! ismnotwasm Jun 2014 #213

Blame me. bravenak Jun 2014 #214

Ha! JustAnotherGen Jun 2014 #215

LOL. It's a safe haven group. CreekDog Jun 2014 #232

I'll ask Number23 when she stops by. bravenak Jun 2014 #233

Are you talking about "I like Cjeek drg" BainsBane Jun 2014 #70

Yes, it was the "I like Cjeek Dgg" incident you remember, where he pled drunk as his excuse. nt Electric Monk Jun 2014 #130

Yes, he said he was showing his friend how DU works CreekDog Jun 2014 #217

Skittles I wonder if you knew about this Alert? FreedRadical Jun 2014 #46

cowards Skittles Jun 2014 #58

Yes, that's me. I am the racist and ageist that was spoken of in that thread about older people. bravenak Jun 2014 #13

I guess I would have to read your context Skittles Jun 2014 #17

Well i meant in the context of society. bravenak Jun 2014 #24

in general, true Skittles Jun 2014 #31

I told her i was sorry i hurt her but i couldn't figure out a better way to express it. bravenak Jun 2014 #34

I saw you gave a very nice apology to her BainsBane Jun 2014 #85

I am always as clear as i can be and willing to explain myself unless someone is just trolling me. bravenak Jun 2014 #86

You do realize the person you're talking to was the main one kicking and whooping it up in the Number23 Jun 2014 #72

Yes i do. bravenak Jun 2014 #82

You sound just like my sister. bravenak Jun 2014 #144

I use "old white men" in a negative context... sheshe2 Jun 2014 #146

I find that the haters aren't really talking about the person they're after but hating themselves. freshwest Jun 2014 #147

there is a lot of resentment against black people for supporting the President JI7 Jun 2014 #21

I noticed.nt bravenak Jun 2014 #26

total bs Skittles Jun 2014 #30

no, it's racism and many have revealed themselves even more on that other site JI7 Jun 2014 #32

well DEFINTELY give us examples Skittles Jun 2014 #35

yeah, someone posts a right wing cartoon and it gets hidden and they are seen as a martyr JI7 Jun 2014 #37

so one cartoon Skittles Jun 2014 #38

also the one that calls him a piece of shit JI7 Jun 2014 #39

so you are referring to a couple of DUers Skittles Jun 2014 #40

and the many who supported it JI7 Jun 2014 #45

there were different intepretations of that cartoon Skittles Jun 2014 #57

and when it was pointed out what it was about including the right winger who made it JI7 Jun 2014 #59

Skittles, it was not just the posts themselves. sheshe2 Jun 2014 #54

Absolutely correct, she. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2014 #126

a large segment of DUers think that posts like P.o.S. used care salesman, fuck off Obama Whisp Jun 2014 #141

But see ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #189

You are the ONLY person in this entire forum that needs "examples" which shocks exactly Number23 Jun 2014 #73

Since you asked BainsBane Jun 2014 #75

i have said this before and i'm pretty sure the most racist, sexist, bigoted posters JI7 Jun 2014 #133

An interesting thought ... 1StrongBlackMan Jun 2014 #190

That's true. sheshe2 Jun 2014 #33

they are a bunch of racist zimmerman supporters JI7 Jun 2014 #43

Just check out Discussionist BainsBane Jun 2014 #71

What gripes me is that, according to some, Obama supporters need to stay out of GD. greatauntoftriplets Jun 2014 #128

You are right, greatauntoftriplets. sheshe2 Jun 2014 #136

I think you are on to something. bravenak Jun 2014 #60

I am old, and you've always been very nice to me. I'm not conservative, either--though I MADem Jun 2014 #65

I was surprised and a bit saddened by your posts in that other thread Number23 Jun 2014 #74
