JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Apr 7, 2013, 09:50 AM, and voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: It's a useful post; "arseholes," shouldn't be enough to wipe it out. Suck it up, atheists, the poster has a point here.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Rule #682: Not British? Then don't use the word arsehole. It demeans us all. But most of the post was legitimate debate. It should stand, despite the uncalled for vulgarity.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Could have made the point without the name calling.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Well, you did call the poster's brain a "noodle." Maybe you both need to dial it down a little.
Thank you. [/font]
