ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Gungeon flamebait -- *not* related to a discussion of today's news

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Wed Aug 26, 2015, 01:53 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Would have let stay as not a TOS, but SOP matter. But the OP Comment is inexcusable.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: ALL of today's gun threads in GD should have been moved to the gungeon. As that is NOT happening, I am not voting to hide on that basis; juries are not empowered with that authority anyway. It's a discussion that, I presume, is being temporarily allowed for the next few weeks. Voting to leave.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: That last sentence just about made my head explode. Geezus.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm with the first two respondents. I don't understand the OP's point. But on a day like this I don't see it as hide-worthy. Lots of gun spec going on.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Going out to work in the yard. Stay safe y'all.
