At Tue Aug 28, 2012, 03:19 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Just making a point.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10021218114

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:

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

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Aug 28, 2012, 03:27 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Let the OP defend what he said. I say leave it. =STC=


Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Too childish to be annoying. Bye poster.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The person is making a point, which is that any person or group can be a moron depending on which side of the group, or issue, one is on. IOW, if you're a Republican, Democrats are morons. If you're a Democrat, Republicans are morons. The OP is being sarcastic.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm really inclined to leave this post alone, since the random selection of classifications he has chosen seems more geared toward making some kind of obscure rhetorical point, rather than actually expressing an opinion that, for example, both "gays are morons" and "heterosexuals are morons". But given the flammability factor, I am inclined to believe that whatever rhetorical point he has to make is simply not worthwhile in view of the fact that it appears to be more flamebait than food for thought.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

and smear certain groups but others are defended. I believe that is hypocritical.

The point is not directed at posters but at other groups in authority that I can't name without violating the TOS.

--------------

Fuck it. I'll violate the TOS and/or unwritten rules. Several of the jurors on this site are hypocrites and morans.

This post is not meant as an attack on any group listied in the op or anyone who posted in the thread. It is a jab a some of the jurors.
