Wheeeee! I made my first alert!

And it was successful.


At Sun Apr 14, 2013, 06:41 AM you sent an alert on the following post:

The Lefty-fringe
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2670059

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:

Poster calls DU'ers opposed to SS manipulation racists, alludes to nazi-like purity, calls them "Liberals" as if they are not and uses atheism as an insult.

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Apr 14, 2013, 06:49 AM, and voted 5-1 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Way over the top, this poster continues to infer the left is full of racists and haters. This is disruptive to civil discourse.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Yep.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with alerter; if I say more, my explanation would be alertable. Stop the hate, especially to fellow DUers.

Thank you.


I don't pretend that using "atheism as an insult" made it work, but I hope it helped.

I don't know what else we can call "god-hating". This poster made a point to not say "atheist" or "racist", but that was a very thin veil.

Not everyone is a god-hatin', black man in the White House hatin', purity-uber-alles luvin', hair-on-fire "Liberal".

and not the first ugly one I've seen from that poster. I'd have alerted on it, too, and I've got a lo-o-ong fuse.

Don't put this guy on ignore... or you will never be able to serve on a jury against it (him/her) again. It takes you out of the pool when he posts.

Something to think about when we put people on ignore.
