REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Don't accuse people of cheating their students without evidence.

That's a highly uncivil personal attack, and is uncalled for here at DU.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Mar 30, 2015, 11:09 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: There is no personal attack.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The poster did not accuse the other poster of "cheating his students". He said that a mathematician should understand "rational and empirically based thought" and that if a mathematician did not do so, that would be cheating his students. This alert is based on nothing but a gross misreading of the actual sentence structure.
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: 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.

I didn't bother to comment, but it was clear that there was no personal attack or accusation. Juror #4 said it very well...

Let me know if you find anything on that discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #46

Zimmerman was the first aggressor, plain and simple. He was armed, playing self appointed Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #22

He was not told to stay in the car gejohnston Mar 2015 #23

SWING... virginia mountainman Mar 2015 #33

"He was not told to stay in the car". When it first happened, that's what I read somewhere... Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #57

still wrong gejohnston Mar 2015 #60

He was told that officers were already on the way, then Zimmerman said "he's running away now" Ghost in the Machine Mar 2015 #71

even if the other were alive, doesn't matter gejohnston Mar 2015 #72

All you have to do is look at what Martin was doing when he was shot and what was happening braddy May 2016 #126

That does not matter to some... virginia mountainman May 2016 #131

The Gunstalker was the first aggessor. stone space Mar 2015 #24

2-5 to leave, if you're interested petronius Mar 2015 #36

So if was not a personal attack it was just an ad hominem attack on mathematicians? Still not cool. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #56

It's neither a personal attack blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #59

Like I said, ad hominem. Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #61

Um, no. blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #62

Could be a strawman attack then? Imputing general incompetency from one dubious example? Fred Sanders Mar 2015 #63

Um, no. blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #64

Look up the meaning of the word "if", Fred. N/t beevul May 2016 #87

Here is a novel idea, discuss the actual laws and the case Lurks Often Mar 2015 #37

But, then you cannot engage blueridge3210 Mar 2015 #38

We'll see if I get an answer at all from the calculuz teacher Lurks Often Mar 2015 #39

What do my calculus classes have to do with Goerge Zimmerman's Gunstalking? stone space Mar 2015 #40

Yet again you avoid answering simple, direct questions Lurks Often Mar 2015 #41

If George Zimmerman shows up in my calculus class armed, he's going to jail. stone space Mar 2015 #42

LOL, Still not an answer Lurks Often Mar 2015 #44

Zimmerman is a racist cold blooded murderer, and his DU supporters are trolls. stone space May 2016 #100

More personals attacks from you, just shows that you don't understand criminal law Lurks Often May 2016 #101

How is that a personal attack? Folks who support cold-blooded murder are trolls. stone space May 2016 #104

My post stated the reason Duckhunter935 May 2016 #135

I voted "other." Zimmerman broke no current laws, and I'm not sure if the laws need... Eleanors38 Mar 2015 #43

^^^ exactamundo discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #45

It is not against the law for a white man to stalk and murder a black teenager wearing a hoodie Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #51

What??? discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #52

I've been watching the courts for years, and in most cases such murders are unpunished. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #53

Thanks for your vote and opinion discntnt_irny_srcsm Mar 2015 #54

Would you feel the same if the races were reversed? n/t oneshooter Mar 2015 #65

It isn't a feeling. It is a fact of modern life in the USA. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #66

Would you "feel" the same about this if the races were reversed. oneshooter Mar 2015 #67

The races aren't going to be reversed. We are discussing reality not a fantasy novel. Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #69

you mean mixed race Hispanic privilege? gejohnston Mar 2015 #70

Check "White Priveledge." Agnosticsherbet Mar 2015 #73

In what other DU group would 62% of respondents say Zman acted reasonably? stone space May 2016 #133

How many other people given a fair trial and found not guilty do you want incarcerated? Lurks Often May 2016 #140

Funny, never could get an answer Duckhunter935 May 2016 #145

Because it would show his complete lack of understanding Lurks Often May 2016 #147

If the case hadn't been politicized, gejohnston May 2016 #146

Claiming that Zimmerman acted reasonably is an opinion, not a fact. stone space May 2016 #155

The jury disagreed with you, as do most people who understand criminal law Lurks Often May 2016 #156

there is an objective standard for reasonableness gejohnston May 2016 #157

Time to resave the list. I see that it is changing from last time I copied it. stone space May 2016 #79

it is an empirical question gejohnston May 2016 #81

Gunz and ammo in the hands are civilians is a bad thing. ileus May 2016 #83

I voted "other." He broke no laws, but he blurred the line twixt neighborhood patrol... Eleanors38 May 2016 #84

I would contend that the only reason why this poll scores majority support for Zimmerman... stone space May 2016 #93

Are you calling everyone who responded to the poll TeddyR May 2016 #114

"The responce rate of racists" Big_Mike May 2016 #130

You are the one that all but called me and others racist Duckhunter935 May 2016 #137

Stop harassing me. stone space May 2016 #138

He has a strong aversion to facts and the truth Lurks Often May 2016 #144

Yet, I am the harrasser, lol Duckhunter935 May 2016 #148
