56. sorry Scorp

that does not make any logical sense

but I get it, I guess. Trayvon is black and that is all that matters.

And we love our shibboleths, and the hatred of those who mispronounce.

"We all agree with that assessment"

Well, it sure seems that way since anybody who dared to disagree would be set upon by a lynch mob of the compassionate.

1. That's a hide

Not for GD, but certainly for the AA group.

[Starry Messenger]

2. Please send that PM with the results to the admins.

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Borderline racism; benefit of doubt.

That jury is full of silent complicity--Juror 7 might not be smart enough to pull up his socks, but shouldn't be on juries either.

[steve2470]

3. OK will do, I should not be shocked by that jury....

but I am.


Holy shit.

[Starry Messenger]

4. I second your emojis.

Sadly, there is a reason that person has never slowed his roll on this topic in all of his years here. He has a lot of people who agree with him who are less outspoken.

Edit: case in point.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7124556

REASON FOR ALERT

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

YOUR COMMENTS

"It is sad to me, how logic seems to fly away once race is added to the mix. At least for some people." This person has been trolling this site FOR YEARS with his blatant racism. His position that considerations of race in judicial questions or discussions are not logical or rational, because "some people" (like the OP, a Black man) don't think correctly is disgusting.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Aug 30, 2015, 03:03 PM, and voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't agree with the alerted post, but I just don't see where it meets the criteria to be hidden. The alerter's opinion that the poster is a troll is not reason enough to hide it either. In fact, I believe that violates the TOS.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Thank you.

His allies make it nice and cozy for him. He keeps getting braver, as a result. I just sent these results to the Admins too.

[steve2470]

5. thanks for doing that

I was just astonished at that post. It was almost breath-taking. I sent my alert to Skinner via the ATA forum.

I expect to see a post like that on Discussionist or Yahoo, but NOT HERE. Wow.

[Starry Messenger]

7. Breath-taking is a good way to put it.

Last edited Sun Aug 30, 2015, 06:03 PM - Edit history (1)

I have a lot of other things I'd love to say, but ironically, I'd be the one hidden, I'm sure.

Edit: for the record, I PM'd Skinner with my last post to that person in the thread we are discussing. I don't want anyone saying we didn't try everything. Nothing will happen on a Sunday, but just in case someone reads this, they'll know what we all took action on.

[freshwest]

17. Alert the jury announcement. Skinner knows posting and jury history of all jurors. n/t

[steve2470]

23. I put the post and the jury announcement in ATA

Last edited Mon Aug 31, 2015, 01:16 AM - Edit history (1)

I know he doesn't answer every day but hopefully soon he will see it.

eta: I also alerted the jury announcement, saying that I felt my alert was a slam dunk hide for racism and to look carefully at the jury.

[CreekDog]

27. Still no answer

he has ignored every single last one of my ATA questions since I questioned his post in this group, in response to him challenging Bravenak's OP complaining about her hide.

[steve2470]

28. yea I'm not expecting a response

It seems only the very worst racists, sexists, homophobes etc get banned quickly. The rest are "entertainment" (ugh). I think there's enough evidence for him to be shown the door, from what I've seen.

[Gormy Cuss]

6. I had the same reaction to the post.

WHAT.THE.EVER.LIVING.FUCK.

How could someone could reduce MrScorpio's OP to "Trayvon is black and that is all that matters"?

[Starry Messenger]

9. Finally got a jury with sense.

On Sun Aug 30, 2015, 06:11 PM you sent an alert on the following post:

perhaps you could explain a couple of things first

REASON FOR ALERT

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

YOUR COMMENTS

"Yet, here I am trying to have a rational discussion with a rope bearer." Poster is literally accusing another poster of trying to lynch him for his opinions, in a discussion about an actual killing of a young Black person. Over the top and inappropriate.

10. Note to juror #4: Please read the ToS

and see that some opinions shouldn't be allowed to stink up the place.

[steve2470]

11. +1 nt

[Starry Messenger]

13. +2

[steve2470]

12. so glad you did the alert! nt

[Starry Messenger]

14. I almost didn't because the other results were so demoralizing.

I wasn't sure my soul could go 3 for 3. But I could hear Skinner or Earl asking me, well, did you alert on him? I figured I'd better do due diligence. Pleasantly surprised for now, hope this is the final straw for that poster.

[sheshe2]

16. Thank gawd one was hidden!

hfojvt needs to be PPRed.

[Starry Messenger]

18. With extreme rapidity.

Honestly, he's been like this for years. I don't really know how he's lasted this long.

[sheshe2]

20. Less maybe,

Yet I will be here until Our President leaves office. I want to stay with him until the end. I will access this place then and make a decision to stay or go. So many awesome posters here. Cyber, yes, yet I have made some friends here. Sadly, so many Asshats.

That post tonight was so very ugly. I was appalled at the venom.

[Starry Messenger]

22. Yes, I've had many friends leave this place too.

I don't really know why I stay on either, I like the people I get to know here, but the hostility and rage are getting ferocious. I took a walk for an hour in between alerts on that poster because I could feel nothing but anger at his callous racist behavior.

[mcar]

8. At this point nothing surprises me here

Disappoints, yes. This is not the DU I once knew.

[Number23]

15. I didn't come here for three days and it was spectacular. I'm starting to realize that I genuinely

can't deal with this place anymore. Something has happened and the racists here are now more emboldened than ever.

[JustAnotherGen]

25. This will give you a chuckle

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=7127369

Typical case of someone who only knows what they know and who won't hold America to a standard of integrity, kindness, and decency yet is real quick cast stones at those countries that at least TRY to bring about some sort of common decency and respect.

I think it's an American thing. I truly believe there are people that would love to go around being vulgar, mean and nasty and they probably are a good 50% of this country.

Now off of that post/op and onto a GENERALIZATION.

They show up at DU and spout nonsense that trust me - they would not dare say to our faces in real life.

Not a single one would. Remember that.

They are fakey fake phoney baloneys in real life. If you encounter one - don't turn your back literally or figuratively because they've already proven they have two faces.

[MrScorpio]

19. I'm not surprised at the outcome of that vote...

Nor was I surprised that that particular post.

[JI7]

21. no surprise coming from that one

Has already said many things like that.

[ismnotwasm]

24. Good God

"benefit of the doubt" No--just--no.

Fucked up beyond belief

[CreekDog]

26. who needs to worry about trolls, when posts like this accomplish the same thing:

yeah, that's one of his.
