ALERTER'S COMMENTS

ad hominem attack, shit stirring to make personal attacks rather than address the subject. It was years ago. There have been thousands of socks since, and this contributes nothing to the discussion.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Aug 13, 2015, 02:37 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sorry, but it's a legitimate point. People who make socks to get around the rules always get nuked, except for this person.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If a poster has a history of disruption, that disruption is fair game when considering their contemporary behavior and motives in posting OPs with clear divisive intentions.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's too funny to hide.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: 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.

Very good question. PowerToThePeople Aug 2015 #24

I think the answer may be "HillaryMojo". Romulox Aug 2015 #32

Or, selective enforcement Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #67

Cute Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #83

That's obviously incorrect, since Baine's sock was PPRed. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #95

Excellent post. Why is BainsBane allowed to flout the rules here? Romulox Aug 2015 #31

What rule, specifically, has been broken? George II Aug 2015 #73

The rule against having Sock Puppets. That's why Bain's sock was PPRed. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #75

Some are more equal than others Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #84

Thanks, Warren. kath Aug 2015 #94

Why was the puppet tombstones then? Duckhunter935 Aug 2015 #103

Dissent isn't taken well BainsBane Aug 2015 #110

Maybe she'll add that when it happens. George II Aug 2015 #74

I'd be curious also to find out under what circumstances you can criticize protesters el_bryanto Aug 2015 #22

My view is the First Amendment protects your right to criticize BainsBane Aug 2015 #25

By the same logic, if they protest YOU and call you white supremacists... BillZBubb Aug 2015 #39

If I behaved the same way BainsBane Aug 2015 #111

Priority is interesting in this context el_bryanto Aug 2015 #60

Where can a POC protest without threat of violence or racist language hurled at them. NCTraveler Aug 2015 #23

I'm totally cool with the right to protest if protesters respect the law. NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #26

OCCUPY didn't respect the law. They engaged in lawbreaking every time they "urban camped." MADem Aug 2015 #33

"when protesting is prohibited" NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #38

Spare me the snark--you're the one who initiated the bad premise re: "lawbreaking." MADem Aug 2015 #40

"They have nothing to do with the Constitution." NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #42

No, this isn't about disagreement--you were the one who talked about respecting the law. MADem Aug 2015 #46

I'm not trying to back off - I don't agree with your premise... NaturalHigh Aug 2015 #47

No one is saying it's not a constitutional right--you're trying to pretend I was making that point MADem Aug 2015 #50

Except if it's Hillary of course! Then any "protest" should be behind closed doors. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #29

Bernie could protest when he was younger and we're all supposed to cheer R B Garr Aug 2015 #36

Protests are supposed to happen in *public*. The "protests" of Hillary appear to take place in Romulox Aug 2015 #37

I didn't see anyone smoking in that room. nt MADem Aug 2015 #43

It's a figure of speech that everyone familiar with politics knows. Romulox Aug 2015 #45

Yes, and it means "done in secret." Some secret--with the press right there to MADem Aug 2015 #117

BLM now has a seat in the smoking section. We're not supposed to notice that. leveymg Aug 2015 #49

and heckling the Obamas is also taboo, never good. only white supremicists like Bernie and his m-lekktor Aug 2015 #41

Hey. These protesters back the fabulously wealthy career politician because they want CHANGE. Romulox Aug 2015 #44

This strategy makes sense if BLM wants "a piece of the action." They seem to be getting it. leveymg Aug 2015 #51

A seat at the table of the Oligarchs is what many want. Hard to see the Oligarchs allowing Romulox Aug 2015 #54

It is theoretically possible to have a racially blind oligarchy. leveymg Aug 2015 #58

Yes. Condi, Colin, and Clarence can live good lives while poverty festers in our inner cities. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #59

That is what you think Black Lives Matter is about? BainsBane Aug 2015 #68

Bizarre word salad. YOU own all the crap you just posted, nobody else. nt Romulox Aug 2015 #72

I don't read the salads either Capt. Obvious Aug 2015 #77
