DU Jury Test: WilliamPitt!!! Your head is full of bees!!!

As some context on this, Will Pitt had a post removed under DU2 in the Lounge for saying another member's head was full of bees. It was removed as a personal attack and Will was so upset about having the fairly innocuous post deleted for that reason that he plead his case all the way to the "Ask the administrators" forum in DU2...to no avail.

So I'm curious if the new Community Standards of the jury system would let this stand even though it is a mild personal attack and a calling out, or will it simply be allowed to pass as harmless lounge fluff.

In the mean time, here is a picture of a cute kitten:


Pwease don't wock me. I just want cheezburger now.

If anyone had said that to me I would've laughed my ass off and stolen the insult to be used a later date. Like I will today.

"Your head is full of bees"

I think that when someone is alerted on, the target of the attack should be included in the jury. I would've voted to leave it alone just for the originality. I would also defend anyone that called me a bitch and was alerted on. I find it a compliment. Female dogs are loyal, protective and more independent than males. Now, if you call me a dick...that's just wrong. Those things are funny looking, have no brains and are ridiculously impulsive.

(DISCLAIMER: I do not mean to offend any of the men here. It's not your fault that God/Universe has a sense of humor.)

My head is full of bees after a grand old time at happy hour.

As far ar Mr. Pitt goes, I give the dude an A+++ for creativity. It's a hilarious insult.

As far as 'bitch' goes -- I'm 50-fucking-4 years old. I think I can use whatever words I want.

"Your head is full of wasps" will get you in trouble now.

"Bees" are OK.

"Hornets" are an automatic ban.

I've had a face full of bees many times. Confused bees. Angry bees. Swarming bees. Bees happen.

So, give the poor kitty his cheeseburger already.
