At Sun Apr 15, 2012, 09:41 AM, an alert was sent on the following post:
And you have a habit of lying. You've been told more times than I care to count that
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:
really uncalled for personal attack
JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Apr 15, 2012, 09:49 AM, and voted 5-1 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: This is a debate between a dumbass (humblebum) and an asshole (darkstar3). I'm inclined to let these two imbeciles verbally duke it out, as is their clear desire. They get off on each other; it's a pathetic spectacle. But, the board does have rules, and darkstar3 was goaded into breaking them. So, I vote to hide. If humblebum has one talent, it seems to be baiting other idiots of the same cloth into rule-breaking. It's a sad little talent, but there it is. Hide.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Although the post being replied to should also be hidden for spam, apparently, this was a direct attack.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: I agree with the alert. This conversation has descended into personal attacks.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DECISION

I called a liar a liar, and not only did my post get hidden and none of his did, apparently I'm an "asshole" and an "imbecile".
But there's no such thing as privilege, if the same people are to be believed...

I think you had a similar jury to mine. "Asshole" can only be applied to us, it seems.

I guess, judging by the alerter comment above, that the attack on you must have been "called for".

You could have said the exact same thing without calling that liar a liar. n/t

Juror #2 seems to have developed False Equivalence into a high art form.
