no that's not it they just want to come into a protected group and stir shit.

[boston bean]

6. Does anyone have the alert and jury results?

You can post them here now. I've removed that rule, since meta has gone bye bye. We only needed the rule when we already had a place to discuss this stuff.

[Whisp]

8. does this mean it is clear of other alerts?

that double jeopardy thing?

I keep forgetting the convoluted rules here.

[DURHAM D]

11. Yes - it has been now been inoculated and

can not be Hidden.

otoh - Boston Bean or hlthe2b could lock it.

[Whisp]

17. ty. Yes, hosts can lock it

and if they did I wouldn't kick about it.

I'd understand.

[boston bean]

10. here you go..

I forgot I got the jury results for my own hidden post LOL LOL Sorry!

At Fri Apr 5, 2013, 06:46 PM, an alert was sent on the following post:

Thread to discuss sexism and misogyny you encounter on DU.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125519322

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>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

A thread explicitly for the purpose of cataloging and calling out other DU members that this group disagrees with? This is exactly the kind of thing that makes DU suck. The admins got rid of meta for a good reason; shame some people want to recreate it.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Apr 5, 2013, 06:53 PM, and voted 5-1 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Looks to me like a fishing expedition.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Calling others out in a "secret" group is about as stupid an idea as i have ever heard on a suppsidly liberal site. Maybe poster should go start her own blog site. We could call it feminazi lite
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given

CONSEQUENCES OF THIS DECISION

You will no longer be able to participate in this discussion thread, and you will not be able to start a new discussion thread in this forum until 7:53 PM. This hidden post has been added to your <a href="/?com=profile&uid=173223&sub=trans">Transparency page</a>.

[DURHAM D]

12. I think we can all make a good guess as to who the "Alerter" is.

[boston bean]

13. give me a P

[ismnotwasm]

14. "Feminazi lite"?

Somebody has been listening to Rush. Or doing Rush, for anybody who remembers what that is.

[boston bean]

16. I read today that there are NO SEXISTS OR MISOGYNISTS on DU that need banning.

I read that right here on DU. And therefore there is no reason to include sexism and misogyny in TOS.

This evidence here means NOTHING..

I don't even get a chance to edumicate this sexist. I don't know who it is. I don't get to speak back either.

That is really uncool!

[ismnotwasm]

20. Like a returning troll misogynist who sent a creepy rape email

To a vulnerable person? Never Happen. Oh, wait...

Part of the problem is this is a moderated site, and they have to hide, best as they can, and play dodge ball with words and snark and have groupie support.

But still, "feminazi"? HAS to be a troll.

[boston bean]

21. That just might be a simple difference of opinion,

don't you see?!

Free speech rules, when using sexist and misogynistic language toward women on DU.

Everyone's opinion is equal is welcome when it comes to men telling women what they think.

[DURHAM D]

22. I might get my third Hide of the day.

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=2623254



Seriously though... this group is having too much fun and the rest of DU has long faces.

[Little Star]

23. Well widdle woman that made me chuckle out loud. n/t

[DURHAM D]

26. rut row - I taut tauted back and that is bad.

Who is their right mind wants to have that discussion on greater DU on a Friday night?

[boston bean]

30. well at least you had a thought! LOL

[ismnotwasm]

25. Truth, like love

Hurts.

[ismnotwasm]

24. I am quite convinced there are those who think they show great restraint

Because of what they're not saying, and what they could or would be saying.

But not one of them is showing more restraint than I do. Trust me on this.

BTW, I was informed that our group doesn't care about 'important women's issues' I was laughing my ass off. But I showed restraint, because the smilie thing will never be enough for THAT level of dumbass and ego.

[seabeyond]

15. so fuckin secret, EVERYONE can read, lol. really? bah hahahah. nt

[hlthe2b]

27. Let them keep it up.. They are creating an inarguable record of attacks that admins can not ignore.

Ridiculous.

[boston bean]

28. Hey H!!!

I think what you say is true about the record amount of attacks.

[hlthe2b]

29. Hey, BB... Checking in... Its been a crazy week both on (and off) DU!

[boston bean]

31. I hear ya! I know!!!!

been pretty busy with life and work myself.

I keep waiting for the slow down, but I don't think that will hit until the end of May.

[DURHAM D]

32. Hi hlthe2b

Do you think we should change the name of this group to -

The Women's Lounge

or

Meta for Women

or

DU Feminist Recovery Space





c: boston bean

[hlthe2b]

33. Hey there, DD!

Somehow I doubt Skinner is going to be too receptive to a name change.... Yet, all feel pretty apropos.

As an aside, I know that the State Department makes US employees stationed under their auspices (in countries where a history of directed attacks have occurred) live in a home outfitted with a "safe room" or on a protected compound... Lately, the confines of HOF feels a bit like one of those fortified rooms-- a rare sanctuary for women to be able to come together to discuss freely... sigh

[DURHAM D]

34. But I got two posts Hidden in here today and

bb had her pinned OP zapped. I think we might need to dig a trench and fill it with jello.

I hope all is well with you. Sounds like you are busy busy busy.

[hlthe2b]

35. There is one poster who repeatedly has sent unwarranted SOP alerts to BB and myself....

(over the past several weeks)... So, I guess this is the next step for that poster and/or their comrades.

I note that the gun control group is likewise being the recipient of abusive alerts on its posts by its detractors, so perhaps we can partner with them to make the case to Skinner if this continues.

Good to see you, though, DD and hope all is well with you. BTW, has anyone heard from yardwork or Obamanut2012 re: any plans to return?

[DURHAM D]

37. I think they must be out somewhere

demonstrating (with their clothes on) and don't have time for DU.

[hlthe2b]

38. re:

[haikugal]

36. HA!

Thanks for the laugh....not a bad idea! LMAO

[Amaril]

39. I hope someone alerted on the jury results

Juror # 4's comment is ridiculous.
