Sat May 3, 2014, 09:16 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

This may be the sickest thread I've ever read on DU.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4904107

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Calling other members (by name) trolls is expressly forbidden in the TOS. If you disagree with someone, make your case, name-calling is not the way to do that.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sat May 3, 2014, 09:26 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This Alerter should be banned for LYING. The TOS does NOT forbid call outs or troll calling. This message is used all of the time by TROLLS and some jury members still buy into it. Further, the members mentioned in this post have already been BANNED as returning TROLLS. I hope someone notifies the ADMIN about this alert and message. The Alerter should be PPRed.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Understandable frustration with the reflexive and unconscious misogyny that appears whenever even the mildest of feminist talk is done on DU. "Troll" is probably wrong if it means someone dispatched by a Them, right if it means someone obsessively activated by red flags to push a permanent agenda altogether immune to evidence.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Expressing your opinion is one thing, but breaking the rules by calling out another DU member is another. The bashing from both sides of this subject is out of control. Each group pushes the others buttons just because they can. Equality and respect for women is a very important topic and should be discussed but neither side is making a valid argument... they are just baiting each other and arguing. It's becoming tedious.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
