Bias [View all]

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

You will no longer be able to participate in this discussion thread, and you will not be able to start a new discussion thread in this forum until 10:49 AM. This hidden post has been added to your <a href="/?com=profile&uid=244390&sub=trans">Transparency page</a>.

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...

Join the group of us !!! We seem to fall into this... SamG Apr 2012 #3
Well, I called humblebum an arsehole/asshole and it got hidden. mr blur Apr 2012 #4
I think you had a similar jury to mine. "Asshole" can only be applied to us, it seems. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #5
And, I got called a "fucking asshole" by a staunch religionist EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #12
I guess, judging by the alerter comment above, that the attack on you must have been "called for". darkstar3 Apr 2012 #13
What's funny is that I wasn't being all that much of a fucking asshole EvolveOrConvolve Apr 2012 #16
I guess it's OK to call us bigots and prejudiced, too. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #14
No, I didn't serve on this jury Warpy Apr 2012 #6
It was against the rules in DU2. I don't think it's in the DU3 TOS. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #7
You need to do the oblique slam Warpy Apr 2012 #8
nope... opiate69 Apr 2012 #23
AND personal attacks from the jurors as a bonus! cleanhippie Apr 2012 #9
I said my piece. It's clear that he's full of it. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #10
I added to it anyway by reposting your words as a quote excerpt. cleanhippie Apr 2012 #11
It seemed that way at one time for Kurmudgeon and Zebedeo too. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #19
You could have said the exact same thing without calling that liar a liar. n/t laconicsax Apr 2012 #15
Maybe I should have called him a "bigot" or a "fucking asshole". darkstar3 Apr 2012 #17
Juror #2 seems to have developed False Equivalence into a high art form. 2ndAmForComputers Apr 2012 #18
And.... more Bias... opiate69 Apr 2012 #20
Nevermind, I found it. Wow. darkstar3 Apr 2012 #21
yep.... opiate69 Apr 2012 #22
The problem is that a jury only works if it's one of your peers, darkstar3 Apr 2012 #24
especially hard for us mean, godless "bigots". opiate69 Apr 2012 #25
That's exactly why Rob H. Apr 2012 #32
I think it's a few things short of that. laconicsax Apr 2012 #26
huh? Not sure what you're saying here... it's been that kind of day for me though... opiate69 Apr 2012 #27
No problem: laconicsax Apr 2012 #28
like, 6 short of a half dozen most days. lol opiate69 Apr 2012 #29
I still disagree... laconicsax Apr 2012 #30
you contrarian! opiate69 Apr 2012 #31
