Well DU has become almost impossible

[Jim Lane]

56. FYI, your post barely survived a jury vote.

It was 3-3. I was the only "Leave it alone" juror who commented, and as you can see I almost went the other way.

As I understand it, the author of an alerted post sees the jury results only if the post is hidden. In this instance, I hope you will consider what jurors on both sides said.


REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Double whammy. Accusing one person of being a liar (about the 3rd or 4th time in this thread) and also attacking the person they're replying to. Pretty much all their posts in this thread are disruptive and inappropriate.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Oct 11, 2013, 02:00 AM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerted post is more than a little silly. The poster is harping on whether Nadin is a journalist, a point that's not relevant to anything in this thread. Nevertheless, a DUer who wants to pursue that distraction is entitled to point out that an assertion on the internet is not necessarily true. In this case, it could be pointed out without the gratuitous nastiness of tone, making it a close call for me, but I think it's just this side of the line.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: A weak 'hide'. The post is rude, but not nasty.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Very mean-spirited and uncalled for in this thread...
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
