ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is a call-out and attack of DUer Treasonous Bastard from that massive GD thread where the OP called Dick Cheney a pussy. They tried the proper way to handle this by alerting, but that failed 6-1. This is a host of this group breaking the rules of the group, as well as community standards. From her own pinned thread -
Rules
There are some very basic rules all participants are expected to follow:
1) No bringing personal fights/issues/problems from other groups or past grievances with a particular member or members to this group
2) No individual personal call outs of any DUer
3) Be respectful at all times, even if an opinion is at odds with that of another poster
4) No bullying
5) Repeated violation of the rules or a refusal to adhere to them when approached by hosts will result in being blocked from the group.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 15, 2014, 11:37 AM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: agree
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I was not involved in the "massive GD thread", unaware that this is "bringing a personal fight " . It seems ok, probably alerted on over some ongoing spat between a few members.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: My role as a jury member is not to decide SOP violations. That is (ironically in this instance) up to the hosts. And, as Skinner has said numerous times in ATA, hosts can run a group however they wish. So, sorry, this isn't mine to deal with.
