This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS
Accusing someone of being "a little slow on the uptake" is way oot. This is a blatant personal attack and should be hidden.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 28, 2015, 11:57 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster clear states the he/she was "slow on the uptake". Doesn't sound as if he/she is "accusing" anyone else.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster is certainly lying about what matters to Sanders supporters, and I frequently condemn the poster for the tactics they employ. They have become even more vitriolic of late, even comparing Bernie to Trump or suggesting that Iranians back him (so we shouldn't?). NCTraveler should be ashamed of the way he/she posts. That's a way of stating my perspective coming into this jury.
However, this alert is silly; he/she is saying that he/she was slow on the uptake, not another DU poster. Leave it alone.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster accused themselves of being "slow," not the alerter although I am inclined to see anyone who alerted on this innocuous comment as possibly being a bit "slow." Or at the very least looking to take offense over anything.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alert is rather odd. Nothing in post suggests the alert comments were justified.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Accusing one's self of being slow on the uptake, don't see where that is a blatant personal attack, alert is not a good alert.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems like the poster is using "slow on the uptake" to describe him/herself. While the poster is militantly ignorant, I don't think the post is hideworthy. Clearly the poster needs a call on the clue phone though.
