I don't know what else to say. I probably will need to go to a few extra therapy sessions just to get this one out of my mind. Oh well, it's only 80 bucks an hour.

Why did I click that link, why?

Actually, given what I -know- about the number of alerts that go out on my stuff, personally, I think my transparency page speaks quite well of me. I mean, someone throws crap at the wall enough times, sooner or later one is gonna stick.

but you're right about the walls.

However, it appears it took place in 2010, which begs the question as to why the Examiner is writing a story about it now.


The Smoking Gun site has some other interesting stories as well, like this one about the Breathalyzer who got arrested for a DUI:

Mail Message
At Sat Jan 26, 2013, 09:05 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Woman demands men perform oral sex while threatening them with a butcher knife
http://www.democraticunderground.com/11146408

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 article is vulgar, insulting to women and opening up an OP of sexism.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jan 26, 2013, 09:16 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Not usually censorious, but this qualifies as over-the-top. Hide It.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The article may be vulgar, but it
It's only insulting (if at all, and that's a stretch) to the woman in the article, and she quite frankly deserves it! I don't understand how posting this article equals "opening up an OP of sexism". It's just a story, for crying out loud. A damned funny one, but just a story.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Post is nasty and conveys nothing worthy of discussion.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry censor Nazi, if you feel this is insulting to women take it up with the woman who did it. It's pretty pathetic that you troll the men's group looking for excuses to get your panties in a bunch. Shame on you.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

that if a guy confronted two women with a butcher knife demanding sex, all holy hell hell would erupt around here.

Women get a pass on forced sex? Violence against men is OK now? Or at least not worth mentioning?

I don't fucking understand it. It's a story.

Maybe it would do better in "Weird News", but it's certainly legit here.

I'm guessing those don't get alerted on with allegations of sexism.

That's their time to shine, making sure all other "MEN" are prepared to be ashamed, apologize and self-flagellate because they are clearly benefiting from what some vile, repulsive creep who they never met, nor would associate with did to another human being.

The broad brush has been out on a constant basis the last few weeks.

I reposted the story, and the picture that came with the story.

Only additional commentary I added was asking why she had a plastic hulk hand.

I think people confuse getting away with certain games for long periods of time, with no one noticing that they're doing it.

I think some of the clever boots folks are not as well hidden as they think.

I also saw the alert: what bullshit, nasty, and quite frankly, sexist.

Though this type of violence is not all that common, it is still disgusting.

As for the alert... Well, I could have some choice things to say about that; fact is, alerting to try to shut down the discussion of a news story about a sexual assault- seems to me that's exactly the sort of rape apologia which we should be working overtime to have scrubbed permanently from DU.

An endeavor I have supported wholeheartedly.

And, like I said, admin knows who sends the alerts.

If they make their case reasonably, I will self-delete it. If it's so onerous and offensive it deserves an alert, the alert should be explained. As a host of this group, I am certainly open to hearing the complaints if a thread is potentially problematic.

So, please, Alerter, come in here and state your case. Like I said, if you make the case that, as you said in the alert, that this OP is "demeaning to women", I will self-delete it.

I will wait. Thanks!
