AUTOMATED MESSAGE: Results of your Jury Service
Mail Message
On Tue Jun 9, 2015, 03:01 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

In my prayers, buddy
http://www.democraticunderground.com/123043106

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

A pure personal attack, mocking a member. Rug got his fifth hide today and this thread in the Atheist and Agnostic safe haven group has as its only purpose mocking rug.


If there is any doubt, read post six. Not clever enough by far.

Safe havens are not designed to be launching pads for personal attacks and mockery of other DU members.

Completely over the top and out of line.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jun 9, 2015, 03:09 PM, 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: Meh. What's left to discuss if everybody agrees?
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter is reaching and should probably stop trolling the A
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Considering how many rude and abrasive posts from Rug that I've seen, I'm not really feeling sympathetic toward this alert. Sorry.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Meh. It's a protected group and I'm guessing the person you're speaking of is an antagonist to them.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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

So at least we'd have a 24 hour reprieve from garbage alert stalking

But hopefully the jury they appeal to next time will read the whole thread, including the last miserably failed alert, and decide that these people should stop wasting their time...seriously.

Rug has been on my ignore list for a couple of years, at least.

He's probably back already under a new name.

I took him off though as soon as I heard the news. Although it will be almost 2 months before he can post again, I don't want to miss his return.

this thread in the Atheist and Agnostic safe haven group has as its only purpose mocking rug.

That couldn't possibly be more untrue. Please, alert trolls, at least try to be honest. You owe a jury that much.

Maybe they should stop worrying about A&A and plug the leaks in their own craft.

Hey lurkers: if you find yourself constantly obsessing about what we say here, get a life.

I was starting to get fed up with some of the BS on this site and work is a mess. I work in the pharmaceutical industry and the company that I am working with is not in favor with the FDA. The FDA does play favorites and we are not part of that group! The FDA does the same thing with clinical sites. There is a rather well known cancer center in Houston, TX where you can get some really good care but when it comes to clinical trials they suck but the FDA looks the other way.

I have been around since 2001 but my post count is really low.
