AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
At Sun Jun 9, 2013, 10:31 AM an alert was sent on the following post:
Yes, you quote a lot of people
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1218&pid=83641
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:
He falsely calls me a liar.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Jun 9, 2013, 10:40 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You stated "I exaggerated"...how about not exaggerating or stating an exaggeration when you presented and maybe people won't accuse you of lying..BTW, I agree with your side of this argument..just can't support your claims in this alert..
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Are you calling Scott a liar?
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: You doth protest too much. For someone who claims that exaggeration is "not a misstatement of fact", you've got a lot of nerve calling for skepticscott's post to be hidden when you demonstrated skepticscott's claim in this very thread.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: 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.

"Your will be done" is a desire to be in rapport with God, not a plea to have God do our will.
