At Mon May 6, 2013, 03:24 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Would any of our Sophisticated Theologians™ here at DU care to comment on this?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/121878839

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:

This is baiting and trolling, especially with the "TM" in the title.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon May 6, 2013, 03:35 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Baiting and trolling? For what... a discussion? Please alerter, get a life!
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No, it isn't. Don't you have anything better to do than trying to shut down a thread you don't like?
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think it's a crappy in-your-face post, but I don't see it as a CS violation. The alerter can trash the thread or post their opinion.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with the alerter - it is baiting and trolling. Could be an interesting dialogue if the OP wasn't a smug asshole.

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



Had the alerter even bothered to read the article, they would have seen that the "TM" was part of the article.

And juror #6 shows why the jury system is flawed. Jurors are supposed to make a ruling on the POST, not the smug asshole that posted it. I guess it takes one to know one.
I guess this hits too close to home for our resident Serious Theolgians. cleanhippie May 2013 #1

Do you think it's because they are illegally using the trademark Serious Theologian? cleanhippie May 2013 #14
I'm surprised they haven't trademarked skepticscott May 2013 #15

Would any of the Sophisticated Scientists here at DU care to comment on this? LTX May 2013 #22
A humorous spoof of a scientific paper, written by Isaac Asimov... trotsky May 2013 #23
Oh. You mean like the Alan Sokal paper, LTX May 2013 #24
Asimov purposely wrote it as a spoof, so it should be no surprise. trotsky May 2013 #25
Well, I guess you're right. LTX May 2013 #26
Just so you know, you're attempting to change the subject. trotsky May 2013 #27
"A fraud is not the same as a hoax." I'll have to remember that one. LTX May 2013 #28
Thank you LTX. thucythucy May 2013 #31
Good, you should remember it. trotsky May 2013 #32
Perhaps we can agree that LTX May 2013 #33
Quite simply, "replicating word salad" is not the same as falsifying research. trotsky May 2013 #34
And here is a test for you. LTX May 2013 #35
Many artists' statements are equally dense. okasha May 2013 #36
For the record, you are the one to use the term "ignorant." trotsky May 2013 #37
Since the examples LTX May 2013 #38
I didn't win, you just failed to prove your point. trotsky May 2013 #40
