dumb ass alert in my opinion :::Alerters Comment:::
ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Personal attack on prism, whom this poster has been stalking for the better part of the past decade.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I expect by the post "prism" made that "prism" can more than handle any stalkers, so after reading through all the stuff before this one, I vote to leave the alerted post, since it is in keeping with the entire thread. And then, I am going to take a long shower, or maybe even a hot bath, to get the slime off...

How on earth is a random juror supposed to recognize a stalker, and why should that juror take the alerter's word for it? The answers: he's not, and he shouldn't. Please do not abuse the alert button.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: LEAVE........ Number 23 is responding to 1StrongBlackMan. This alert stinks. irisblue

Accusing a majority of AA voters of suffering from a mental issue.... NCTraveler Oct 2015 #18

It is a "psychological phenomenon", not a "mental issue". Half-Century Man Oct 2015 #69

I agree to that. Half-Century Man Oct 2015 #137

Hillary supporters now claim that reminding people of Hillary's racist gaffes is itself racist. Romulox Oct 2015 #8

No. That isn't what I said at all. Not sure how you even arrived at that thought. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #9

Explain it to me like I'm five. nt Romulox Oct 2015 #14

No one should have to. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #15

Wish I could help you more. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #20

I think the "it's so obvious I can't explain it" argument speaks for itself. nt Romulox Oct 2015 #22

I did explain it. You don't get it. NCTraveler Oct 2015 #29

He holds out anybody who doesn't support the candidate he supports for censure. DemocratSinceBirth Oct 2015 #32

Except that I support Bernie, my complaints about that poster are not about primary choices at all. Bluenorthwest Oct 2015 #44

I will say that I certainly can see how it can be taken as racist. cwydro Oct 2015 #36
