Got my first hide in ~12 years. Partisan hide.

[JudyM]

An OP follow-up on the story that was posted about that imminent racketeering indictment, kind of important to our party, right?! Breitbart posted the author's explanation of why the post vanished and I linked to that. The alerter wrote I was posting "hearsay" from a RW hate site, though it wasn't hearsay, it was a first-person report.

I posted it in GD-P at 3:11, if anyone wants to read it; not sure if I post the link to it here an HRC lurker can re-alert on me for that (is there a rule about this?)

This is why we need more of us able to serve on juries. Because of the hide, my chances of serving dropped 20%.

1. linky needed

do not fear the darkside

[JudyM]

3. Mmm... I don't trust em on this. You can just click on "start time" to sort that column and find it

in GD-P.

[Old Codger]

2. They have no shame

If it contains her majesty's name it better be bright and al about how great she is and how she is the manifestation of the second coming...

[JudyM]

4. DUers have a right to be able to post factual articles about the indictment wreck that's coming,

and this racketeering aspect is more than a little interesting. This wasn't an opinion piece, even.

[LiberalElite]

5. When I got my first hide in April

my chances of serving dropped 20% - supposedly. Little did I know the chances had become 0%. The hide was April 19. I haven't received a jury duty notice since April 11. It had been nearly daily, sometimes twice a day.

[JudyM]

6. I hope not. That's about the rate I've been getting called.

Can I appeal this hide since it was 4-3 and the premise that it was "hearsay" is demonstrably false?

[LiberalElite]

7. I'm not that conversant with

the rules but I think it's worth a try. Good luck!

[JudyM]

10. Ok, did it, thanks for the moral support, LiberalElite.

[Electric Monk]

21. The DU Admins do quietly remove jury privileges when they want to for whatever reasons they want to

And on a totally un-related note ( ), a google image search for 'thumb scale' gets this as the #4 hit:

[riderinthestorm]

28. Not just jury, alerting as well

I have no one on ignore. 1 hide.

Can't alert and haven't been on a jury in months

[JudyM]

35. Have you written Skinner about it? Could it be a glitch or does that happen to others as well?

[retrowire]

8. Dont worry.

We real Democrats have a better website coming riiiight up.

[JudyM]

9. !!!

???

Do tell.

[tandot]

11. Unbelievable

You post a link from liberal/Democrat hater Breitbart and then go into a protected group to whine about a "partisan" hide of a completely unsubstantiated right-wing smear? On DEMOCRATIC Underground? You can't be that delusional?

[JudyM]

12. The article was not an opinion piece, you don't get it at all, do you? The media is not exactly an

easy place to get something posted that is critical of Hillary.

And yes, dearie, this is a protected group for discussions of this nature. This is an important issue and that was the source that the HuffPost author was interviewed by.

So your comprehension is 0-for-2.

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT

14. You are in the wrong group. This group is for SANDERS SUPPORTERS.

[Phlem]

15. Truly. It only takes a 5 seconds.

The last one I was on was all hide except 1, guess who. This place is pathetic.

[QC]

16. I've only had 4 hides since 2011

when DU3 cranked up.

Two of those resulted from pointing out that a documented anti-Semite is, in fact, an anti-Semite.

Yes, hides are often partisan.

[JudyM]

19. Yeah the thinly veiled antisemitism was all around here yesterday. Ugly posters.

[QC]

20. Yes, even standard trope of anti-Semitism has been

deployed against Bernie here.

[JudyM]

24. But they're not bigots!!!

[QC]

31. Goodness no! Perish the thought! n/t

[leftinportland]

17. I saw that...was hidden while I was reading it.

There is another post with photo of Bernie dozing off at an event, also linked to a Breitbart article, no one seems to notice

[JudyM]

18. After this (and then the classless slam earlier in this thread) it makes me feel throwing down

some alerts, myself.

[MisterP]

25. that one at least got zapped

this post is proven to be linked to a bogus article and disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Mon May 30, 2016, 06:59 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: An obvious fake which anyone who was thinking could have seen
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: It's fake and the poster knows it.. so now he tries to put it in the BS group. Dream on ... your little scheme that Hillary will be indicted so BS can be anointed?.. Not Gonna Happen.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I'm not going to hide an OP of a news article when I don't know if it's true or not. If it's not true people can say so in the thread. There's no need for you to try to silence them
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: The fact that the OP cites Breitbart (as well as a lot of suppositional drivel) to advance his/her Hillary hatred was enough for me to vote Hide. No wonder HuffPo pulled the piece.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Agree with alerter.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given


Even if it possibly a bogus article, still the fact remains it's hanging over her head. WTF is the problem with these people? Are they just sensitive and prone to getting their feelings hurt?

[JudyM]

23. Whoa. Both of us nailed for the first time on the same story. We will be forever bonded.

Sorry it happened to you too, it's an important Story, and we don't know yet all there is to know about it. And then we were both also trolled in the Bernie group. These people are shi##ing in their own lake, as they'll learn soon enough.

34. Wow, they're coming over here just looking to make alerts.

It's incredible. They probably think that if they can get rid of Bernie supporters, all Hill's legal problems will go away.

I've seen some weird stuff online but never anything like this.

[JudyM]

36. What a crock of...

Petty children. Coming here to troll the protected Bernie group. It's not Bernie that has the corner on the not so mature vote.

Don't they have enough interesting policy issues to chat about in their group?

[xloadiex]

26. Chances of serving

on JD, 86%. I have not been called since March 18th. I do have an extensive IL but still, it's not everyone.

[JudyM]

27. :(

[malokvale77]

32. Not only do they have no shame...

But they do not seem to understand the consequences coming on the back of such a flawed candidate.

[senz]

33. I just served on a jury that gave a total bullshit hide to an OP.

It was a harmless mistake made by the OP. I was juror #7. I could not believe it resulted in a hide and then looked at the thread and saw a bunch of Hill fans who are eagerly waiting to get rid of Bernie supporters. Now that Hill's legal problems are taking shape, her followers are in the foulest of foul moods, blaming her problems on us (because they cannot hold Hill responsible for her own behavior).

So be extra careful out there; irrationality is riding high and it's got blood in its eye.
