OP
I'm sure the fact that she didn't have her usual retinue of attack dogs with her had a part in it.

I saw that, felt it was pretty damn egregious, but that said, it wasn't my alert.

The point, such as it was, could have been made just as easily without the insult.

Yes, but did you predict the circumcision threads that are happening in religion right now?

But, hey.. apparently I'm one of the best derailers in the business!
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)3. I've heard that also
Seems to be a trend.

(10,129 posts)6. And, just so there's no confusion as to why bean's post in HoF was hidden...
This has got to be one the most fucking ridiculous things I have ever read

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>.)
YOUR COMMENTS:
"Hey dipshit". Considering this post is a verbatim quote of a post here on DU, she is in fact calling the original poster a dipshit. Blatant and ugly personal attack, done within the confines of a safe group, the poster she is referring to has been blocked from so he can't even come in to defend himself.
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Apr 7, 2013, 07:58 PM, and voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: while I tend to agree that the argument is rather less than rigorous, I don't think it is fair to quite Duers, without attribution, in fora they can't respond.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

Edit: Alerting on someone calling another DUer a dipshit is not an abuse of the jury system.

I've sent a grand total of one in the past 2+weeks.
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)10. I can't remember the last time I alerted
If someone wants to resort to name calling, I say leave it up for all to see. It only reflects on their own credibility, or lack thereof.

(80,708 posts)13. The point, such as it was, could have been made just as easily without the insult.
I think the FEMEN protests and the shocking lack of naked boob-condemnation on DU have left some folks a bit unglued.
Major Nikon
(36,899 posts)16. I haven't noticed much difference, really
There always seems to be something.

No socks were harmed in the making of this alert, though.

(80,708 posts)9. You're one of "the best in the business", it seems!

(80,708 posts)21. Dude, you so have to watch Archer. Start with the 1st Season.
It has nothing to do with anything here, except, it's just really fucking funny.

(10,129 posts)22. What night & channel? We got rid of netflix recently but got cheapster cable.
Warren DeMontague
(80,708 posts)23. Oh, no. Too bad. I think you could get it on netflix streaming.
Currently it's on FX, I think.
