In reply to the discussion: The racist and anti-Semitic plays coming from Bernie haters are just a repeat of 2008 [View all]Jim Lane
(11,175 posts)I was Juror #5, the most long-winded as I so often am. (BTW, thanks for the cross-reference, but I didn't even need to read your #154 to vote to Leave It Alone.)
On Fri Sep 25, 2015, 02:51 PM an alert was sent on the following post:
And another reply, now that I've seen the forums at the site.

REASON FOR ALERT
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is getting ridiculous, seriously. Now it's come to issuing threats? "OPEN FUCKING SEASON"?? This is patently creepy and disruptive. The poster even anticipates the alert, he knows this is completely inappropriate and is hoping he'll get a sympathetic jury who will validate his threats. This is sickening, really.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Sep 25, 2015, 03:08 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: More confusing than disruptive, not sickening as was alerted.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's the primary season. Baiting and alerting are part of the game.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter is in a tizzy about "threats" but the only threat I see is a threat to post opinions that are critical of posts on another site. DU is a discussion board; criticism is allowed (duh). "OPEN FUCKING SEASON" appears to mean a recognition that, although personal attacks on DUers are impermissible, the poster is allowed to engage in personal attacks on people who post on the other site but who aren't DUers. As someone who has been known to mock Freepers, I agree. Yes, the other site in question supports a Democrat rather than a RWNJ. Nevertheless, its members (those who are not DU members) can indeed be criticized here without violation of the ToS concerning personal attacks.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: What the poster chooses to do (or says he/she will do) on another site are not violation.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
