AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your alert
At Thu Mar 14, 2013, 11:23 AM you sent an alert on the following post:

Translation: Skepticscott does not like being called a bigot
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1218&pid=73130

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

YOUR COMMENTS:

Calling someone a bigot is a personal attack, and totally unwarranted. And the accusation is based on something he claims but that isn\'t even true

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Mar 14, 2013, 11:32 AM, and voted 5-1 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Both should spend some time in the Time-out room
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Loaded for bear as soon as he came into this thread. Calling everyone names and "challenging" them. Tone it down dude.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Not only do i agree with the poster, I think Dawkin is the ultimate in bigotry, sexism and hypocrite. All cowardly in my book. And for anyone to call the poster out on what he posts after reading numerous insults to the poster, just more of the Dawkin worshippin' hypocrisy of not having to walk what you mouth.

"Yeah, it was an attack and insult BUT YOU DESERVED IT, FUCK YOU!"

Gotta love the jury system...

And seriously, Dawkins is "the ultimate in bigotry, sexism and hypocrite (sic)"??? Just goes to show how completely ridiculous the Dawkins hatred is.

Or at least blocked from the group?

Pretty sure that is a zombie of a recently departed poster, too.

I'm about done with DU. Finding it boring, same shit, different day. The usual suspects spewing the usual nonsense. Finding I have better things to do.

as a moderator, you have access to entire posting histories of an individual to judge them by. As a juror, you only judge one post and cannot easily review posting history. Unless someone is really blatant, chances are you won't remember their user name and posting trends.

We don't worship anybody and appeals to authority have little merit to us. No doubt there will be the usual stories of deathbed conversions after he's gone, and they still won't understand why we don't care, even in the very unlikely case that they were true.

Of having nothing and no one to "worship" or to be their "god". They figure everyone must need that to survive and lead a normal life.

is not a very nice person. It looks like juror #6 also has an issue with projection as does the person in question. I wonder if juror #6 does not know how to spell or misspells Dawkins' name like some other political group in the US says "Democrat Party" instead of Democratic Party. Just asking.

I am amazed that the person in question is still allowed to post on DU considering his posts "of late are" full of vitriol, or should that be "have always been..."
