My Passover GD thread was hiden [View all]

because stating something that is obviously mythical didn't happen i9s offensive.
Another "now is not the right time" bs. At least some of the jurors got it.
I wasn't trying to be insulting, it was meant to discuss the importance of a mythical event. That claimning that simple fact is an affront to peoples religion is ludicrous.

Happy Passover to Jewish DUers

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is absolutely tasteless (and that is the best thing I can say about it). If you want to insult someone about their religion I suppose that is fine (note I am an atheist but not an ass-hole so I don't even see the pint in that). Posting what appears to be holiday greetings and well wishes to insult people is beyond the pale and not what DU should be about.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat Apr 23, 2016, 10:49 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: "absolutely tasteless" Exactly. actually intentionally insulting to some DUers
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Unnecessary and disruptive. Rather rude as well. Hide.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Tasteless, I agree. But, it's an opinion and not a TOS violation. No personal attack.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Fine, you have your opinion and you don't have to be a jackass on this holy day.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Wrong forum to be this obnoxious
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Discussions about the effects of religious mysticism on civilization should be de rigueur, and I consider it a learning experience, while also adding vibes for a Happy Passover to my Jewish friends.
