This has got to be one the most fucking ridiculous things I have ever read
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125519690

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.

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.

I think the FEMEN protests and the shocking lack of naked boob-condemnation on DU have left some folks a bit unglued.
