Since you're in this particular group.

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>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Skepticism and ridicule are two very different things. I am a skeptic; I am an agnostic. I don't know what I think about this elephant story, but I know that I won't ridicule and make fun of the many excellent DUers who liked the thread. This series of posts by MM is not a defense of rationality; it's an attack on those DUers he considers to be wrong, thus the "woo gets ridiculed, as it should". I truly don't believe that this group's purpose should be to make fun of other DU groups...this happened in GD, but the target is "woo", i.e., the ASAH group. I appeal to the jury to remove this post in order to send a signal that making fun of other DUers isn't ok.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Mar 27, 2012, 09:37 AM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No direct attack. This is a discussion board. Discussions can be heated at times.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Alerter is correct. Snide ridicule should not be tolerated here, and the alerted upon post is nothing but. It's also creepy and stalkerish. First the feminists group, now the astro/spirituality group? Unacceptable.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: MM is just calling it as he sees it. Woo is woo. This is not a personal attack of the sort that warrants removal.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: 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.
