In reply to the discussion: Hello fellow vermin!! [View all]muriel_volestrangler
(102,666 posts)9. The host of the group has now self-deleted the OP
However, the worst bit of the contents of the offending post are on record, even if the person who called DUers 'vermin' also self-deletes.
By the way, you should have highlighted the word 'vermin' in the alert (I assume it was you who alerted, given the URL you've posted). I seem to have been the only juror to notice the 'vermin' remark.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This is meta. SOP of the Prayer group specifies no meta.
"This room is not for meta. This room is not to settle scores. This room is not to mock believers or non-believers."
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Apr 29, 2015, 02:46 PM, and the Jury voted 3-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This isn't an OP; it's just a reply. If it were a violation of the SOP it still wouldn't be up to jury to decide if it belongs here or not.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While the comment is very broad it does not violate any other standards.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Wha??? meta for the jury?? There is nothing wrong in this post. It is up to host of the group to hide threads that don't belong, but this is not even an OP. Come on, alerter! Get a life outside if you have to troll the Prayer Group.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Don't go to the Religion
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I'm hiding this for the comparison of some DUers to 'vermin'. That is rude, over-the-top, and dehumanising.

I have long identified as something like a porcupine, so this is remarkably accurate.

But only an Internet bully. I'm sure IRL, milquetoast is the apt description.
