ALERTER'S COMMENTS

"Plus one-ing" a f-ck you deserves a hide too.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jul 18, 2015, 11:38 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The post addressed was very bad, this is a terrible alert, poster did not say fu, the post replied to did.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: And there will be yet another alert for someone agreeing with the 1...it requires extra effort to be offended, so I'd let this slide
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No alerter, it does not
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: In fact, the entire thread should be hidden.

No fan of HRC but so unnecessary and darn right nasty.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Agree, totally uncalled for. There's so much to criticize Hillary for without resorting to crude name calling. InAbLuEsTaTe Jul 2015 #67

I recommend that everyone who objects to the "WHORE" post alert on it. MADem Jul 2015 #77

I agree. KMOD Jul 2015 #79

That was my alert, and was stunned that four people voted to keep it (with NO rationale) George II Jul 2015 #83

Ask all your friends who feel as we do to ALERT ON THAT WHORE POST!! MADem Jul 2015 #84

I would argue the witch hunts over words are what make DU suck Egnever Jul 2015 #268

The INTENT of that post was clear--it was a "dog whistle." MADem Jul 2015 #269

So if Hillary was a male it would be fine Egnever Jul 2015 #270

It would still be rude, but less obviously so. Historically, that word has been directed at women MADem Jul 2015 #271

Right, more sanctimonious lecturing Egnever Jul 2015 #272

You are very defensive. It's obvious I have touched a very raw nerve. MADem Jul 2015 #273

Do you really need a link to the post calling Sanders supporters whores? beam me up scottie Jul 2015 #218

I want you to show me a post where I call a WOMAN a whore. You can't, can you? MADem Jul 2015 #225

Calling a woman a whore on Democratic Underground? onehandle Jul 2015 #59

Disgusting comment. KMOD Jul 2015 #72

You comment needs to be removed. That's as disgusting as someone who called Bernie a flying turd Autumn Jul 2015 #82

I don't think that calling bernie a flying turd was a bigoted slur, was it? boston bean Jul 2015 #106

Both are nasty, so yeah I equate both as unacceptable. n/t Autumn Jul 2015 #118

Both are. But calling Bernie a flying turd, is nothing like using a misogynistic/sexist slur. boston bean Jul 2015 #121

Whatever but I'm not interested in the discussion you want to have. So find someone else. Autumn Jul 2015 #126

And I was just pointing out the two are not even in the same league. boston bean Jul 2015 #130

As far as I'm concerned nasty is nasty, I'm not into the parsing of it n/t Autumn Jul 2015 #134

No, it really isn't. You posted above that you would not have hidden the reply to the despicable cui bono Jul 2015 #250

right because I don't put an general insult in the same category as a misogynistic slur. YMMV. boston bean Jul 2015 #252
