1. Jury voted 3 to 3 to leave it

[hrmjustin]

2. I alerted but as you can tell the jury did not agree with me. I hit the Tos button.

[Vanje]

3. Me too

I alerted as well.

[hrmjustin]

4. I doubt the admins will miss this tomorrow.

[William769]

5. Not if I have anything to say about it.

[hrmjustin]

7. I notice that she has no defenders.

I wonder if she realizes her bigotry has caught up with her.

[William769]

8. Probably thinking to herself whats wrong with everyone else.

[hrmjustin]

9. She might know it can get her removed. She probably is scared it might get her removed.

[theHandpuppet]

12. Then why don't they self-delete?

Goddess knows they've been asked and had the opportunity.

[hrmjustin]

14. I don't know. Maybe she walked away from the computer. Maybe she is enjoying this.

Maybe she doesn't know how to respond. I just wish she would say something. She is mean spirited and we deserve to know why.

[theHandpuppet]

15. I suspect she's enjoying yanking our chain

After all, the jury sided with her, not us. It was a nasty hit and run and I can't believe it's still up there.

[hrmjustin]

16. Well I am happy that the responses have been great.

[Vanje]

10. What IS wrong with everyone else?

That shit got juried to stay.
Sometimes , its luck of the draw.
Sometimes its a poor or incomplete alerting statement.

Sometimes, If you omit the word, "Fuck", and use handsome sounding words, you can say fucking ANYTHING!

[William769]

11. I seem to know the words to use to get a post hidden

But writing flowery words in an alert I just can't seem to do.

[dbackjon]

33. She has ONE

Who is a Russian shill

[William769]

34. And it has not gone unnoticed.

[dbackjon]

35. Been tangling with that one for a few days

[Behind the Aegis]

38. Are you telling me there is yet another liberal causing problems?

Say it ain't so!

[dbackjon]

39. Well, not sure liberal is right word :)

[William769]

6. My alert button was stuck.

I think I received 12 PM's telling me my alert was sent.

[LostOne4Ever]

13. Wut

How can it be 3-3?

It should be 6 hides.

[theHandpuppet]

17. Cause there's no homophobia on DU, pilgrim

You're just imagining it.

[LostOne4Ever]

18. If this is on DU

I weep for the prospects of the rest of the world.

[nomorenomore08]

28. Yeah, we're supposed to be the lefty fringe, right? But naturally, some of the uglier aspects

of American culture still manage to seep in.

[nomorenomore08]

21. I agree. Insensitive, inflammatory, adds nothing to the discussion of *deadly serious issues*.

Perfect example of how most people just don't give a shit about things that don't directly affect them. Even if it may be literal life or death for others.

[RKP5637]

51. There's a lot of that that goes on, people not giving a shit about anyone else, any

group unless it affects them directly. It really really sucks.

[nomorenomore08]

19. Completely insensitive and unnecessary (them, not you). What the hell is the point?

[Vanje]

20. He /she walked all over his / her dick yesterday trying to defend Russias anti-gay policy,

...as not that bad.
and insisted that the only reason some DUers were mentioning Russia at all, is because of Snowden.

The poor thing is absolutely silly.

[nomorenomore08]

22. I don't doubt that he/she is homophobic, on some level. A lot of left-leaning folks

unfortunately are, even if they'd never admit to it. Because if you truly don't care about a given issue - which is a fucked-up stance in this case anyway, considering what's at stake - then why comment on it at all? Almost seems like he/she was baiting people, honestly...

[William769]

23. She's back & doubling down.

[LostOne4Ever]

25. and now he/she is tombstoned! (nt)

[William769]

26. Yep!

[nomorenomore08]

29. Good riddance to another fucking asshole!

[hrmjustin]

30. Joyous news!

[MNBrewer]

32. Nice to see these high-post-count homophobes finally biting the dust lately

It's taken quite a while.

[nomorenomore08]

37. Sometimes you just have to wait for them to gradually spool out the rope, then hang themselves...

[RKP5637]

52. Yea! Excellent! I'm really fed up with homophobic assholes like them on DU! Another one

a few days ago got their ass kicked off DU too. Excellent!!!

[Behind the Aegis]

24. Thought I would share

http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=profile&uid=282775&sub=trans

[William769]

27. I posted my alert in the wrong place.

[Vanje]

31. Good news. I thank the astute Admins.

and the many supporters in that awful thread.

[theHandpuppet]

41. Good job, everyone

The message has been sent and I hope, received. There will always be bigots popping up on DU but they know they will be in for a fight.

[dbackjon]

36. The grave dancing thread on Hannah Bell from DU2 was educational

As to her supporters here.

[theHandpuppet]

40. Have a link?

I'd be curious myself

[Capt. Obvious]

43. ditto

[dbackjon]

44. Here

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=439x1211325

[theHandpuppet]

45. Wow

I don't know quite what to say. I recognize a lot of those names.

[dbackjon]

46. Yes, very many

[Capt. Obvious]

47. If I'm reading that thread correctly

Many GLBT members were pretty upset at Bell's banning.

Who knew?

[dbackjon]

50. I noticed a couple. It is hard to read the DU2 threads

Because of the lack of indentations on the main body of replies

[stevenleser]

53. Reading that thread, she called someone a house-n----r?

Is it just me or should slurs like that against any race, orientation, etc mean you don't get to come back as a tolerated zombie.

[dbackjon]

54. I missed that

And yes, that should warrant never being back

[QC]

42. Good work, Skinner!

[backscatter712]

48. The jury voted to let him stand...

And even though this douche said something vile enough for Skinner & co. to ban his ass, I got one hidden for telling him what I really think.

Don't you love the jury system?

[MNBrewer]

49. That's because at DU, BEING a vile homophobe can get you to over 20K posts

but calling someone a vile homophobe is BAAAAAAAD.

[joshcryer]

56. Ding, ding.

[joshcryer]

55. The jury system loves to punish those who call out homophobes.

It sucks, for sure.
