Trolls will be trolls and juries will be juries. [View all]

Apparently, asking why someone made up some shit out of thin air is a personal attack? Who knew?


Man, I love this place!


At Sat Jul 21, 2012, 04:13 PM, an alert was sent on the following post:

Why do you just make shit up out of thin air?
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1218&pid=36641

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:

personal attack. While these two members go at it all the time, generally one just takes it into ugly and the whole thread deteriorates.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Jul 21, 2012, 04:19 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Looks like this went off the rails at "blah, blah, blah". Insults and personal attacks don't win an argument. Agreed?

Let's have a "do over" please; spin the discourse up not down.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: This person needs to re-read the DU rules and learn what is meant by PERSONAL ATTACK
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
