ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"Who else are those retards going to vote for?" No one said that, so the quotes are disingenuous. And "retarded"? Really?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Oct 19, 2015, 05:36 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Nice language!
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No idea why this was alerted. This sentiment is somewhat widely held here at DU.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: You should have just left the alert at the use of retards. Your claiming that use of quotation marks as a hide worthy annoys me.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Et alia" is used incorrectly here. It means "and others" in the sense of people or names. "Et cetera" is the correct phrase here. The misuse of Latin phrases is annoying but not offensive.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree with the alerter. Pick a different word next time.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: hiding ""retards" needs no explanation, does it?
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
