My DU Christmas present I guess -- another hide.

[pnwmom]

This time, I should have said a CHART containing numerous errors was "worthless."

Except, oops, I actually used the word "poster" instead of "chart."

So I got hidden for making a personal attack. The word "poster" was interpreted as "OP."

I've never deliberately made a personal attack on another DUer, and this certainly wasn't one.

Anyway, I wish you all Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays and all the best for the coming year!



AND BE VERY CAREFUL WITH YOUR WORDING IF YOU DON'T WANT A HIDE!

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"This poster is WORTHLESS." It's one thing to criticize a post but calling another human being worthless is oot.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Dec 24, 2015, 10:42 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: I could have lived with it without the personal attack on the poster
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I took it to mean "poster" = meme in OP, not the poster as in person.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And so because it is too close to Christmas I find it far too difficult to see my though to a hide for one poster calling anothers posting worthless. Furthermore, on the benefit of the doubt to justify my decision I will see (poster) as a typo, I therefore think what was meant is- "this post is worthless"- leaning to the opinion it is misleading. Like it or love it that is the way I see it. Merry Christmas all.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I wish the nasty lying Sanders trolls would scurry off to JPR. This isn't good for our mental health.

1. Sucks sorry about that.

Merry Christmas.

[still_one]

2. Appeal it. Merry XMAS and happy holidays to everyone here

[BlueJazz]

3. Oh Brother. You mean that some people didn't catch that ? That's depressing.

[SusanCalvin]

4. Oh good grief.

(I was looking for facepalm or headdesk but couldn't find offhand.)

Hope it doesn't put you on the edge, and happy holidays.

[Chemisse]

5. Aww, that is too bad. I can see why some of the jurors misunderstood, though.

Have a Merry Christmas!!

[darkangel218]

6. That was a bad hide.

Merry Christmas, pnwmom x

[murielm99]

7. I hope your real Christmas presents

are much nicer. Have a good day tomorrow.

[MADem]

8. It's like a minefield up in here.

I got a hide for absolutely no good reason a while back, too. Just supporting the "wrong" candidate is enough for some folks I guess.

[awoke_in_2003]

9. This place is ridiculous. nt

[BlueMTexpat]

10. Sorry to hear about this ...

but I have spent most of the day with family and friends so far ... and been much happier for it.

Hold on to the good things. Life is much too short to let those who don't even know you and who are delighted to "misunderstand" affect you. Let them have their hollow victory. It is very likely the only one they will have.

11. As a Group Host, I received an alert on this post ...

I do not have a problem with your post ... I do, however, have a problem with the alert AND the alerter.

So alerter, and I know you are watching, you are invited to trash, or just stay the hell out of, this group ... as you have NEVER contributed anything of worth to it.

[JustAnotherGen]

12. I received it

Hes not blocked. He could have challenged it on the thread.


He also alerted "Forum" - not "Group"

Meta is allowed in Af Am Group.

[1StrongBlackMan]

13. I'm just tired of that poster ...

he/she needs to get a life beyond chasing behind posters that frequent this Group.

[JustAnotherGen]

14. He's not the first

I have the Sanders and Political Progressives groups in the trash for a reason.

Don't be a trouble maker.

Mind your own god damned business.

It's simple.

15. Unbelievably this post was alerted, and thankfully survived easily. Sensibility rules!

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Group hosts shouldn't be using their position in protected groups to call out and inform that they are "tired of that poster" - don't invite meta and shit stirring in to your group by stirring shit and posting meta. Either way, this is over the top and a call out

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Dec 26, 2015, 05:58 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I rarely hide, but this seems personal plus it's meta.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerting on a Group Host? Please...
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Sadly, alert stalking is alive and well, even on Christmas!

This is, sorry to say, an idiotic alert and from what I can see the fact that 1StrongBlackMan is a host has nothing to do with his post. how the alerter can infer that from the post he/she alerted is beyond belief.

This is a "Leave It Alone" for me and hopefully six other jurors.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I can't see any reason to block this. I don't know who the poster is referring to but I don't think he or she should be denied the chance to express an opinion.

18. It was closer down thread. I'll repeat my reply.. Oh, WAAAAAH!

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say what we want to say, within reason, without the Alert Squad breathing down our necks?

Thank you, G.

[JustAnotherGen]

20. Group Host - one more alert - I'm copying and pasting the Group Alert

We can allow META if we want.

I repeat to the people that alerted on 1Strong's posts -


The person who sent the SOP Group - NOT - FORUM -GROUP ALERT . . .

IS NOT BLOCKED AND COULD EASILY HAVE RESPONDED TO ANYTHING ON THIS THREAD!


Personal? You betcha! Meta? Yep. We've never locked threads discussing alert stalking at DU of our regular group members and I have no intention of starting to now.

There is an entire Forum devoted to your beliefs, position on issues, and candidate - please go there.

We will not be silenced.

We won't be bullied either.


Signed,

House Negro Du Jour and Group Host

26. Think he hit the wrong alert button by mistake?? Sent an SOP alert by mistake?

I'm sure all of us would be just shocked -- SHOCKED I tells ya -- if that individual was one of the folks haunting and stalking this group.

[SunSeeker]

16. FYI, someone alerted on your post. I voted Leave, but it was way closer than it should have been.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Using inside knowledge and Going after an alerter who alerted in good faith is over the top and unfair.. If meta is allowed in a forum, it should be in the SOP. Don't denigrate and call out people acting in good faith.

25. + a million. I saw the name of the alerter and literally laughed out loud

I am getting a bit tired of all of the Meta in this forum, but this OP could have called us all "lawn jockeys" and I still wouldn't have voted to lock it just because of who the alerter was.

[betsuni]

19. I salute and admire you for fighting back.

It's like Sissyface and his boulder, but it must be done. Thank you for your good work.

[pnwmom]

24. Thank you, betsuni!

[pnwmom]

23. I can't believe what this OP stirred up. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas, anyway.

I miss my little grand baby and her parents. Some out-of-state people (in-laws) got them this year.

But I'm happy to have my son back from college for a little while.

Thank you again for all your support!

27. Bogus hide, Pnwmom

You are a very intelligent, knowledgeable poster. That's why they are after you.

Please be careful, we don't want to lose you!

A belated Merry Christmas!
