At Sat Dec 28, 2013, 12:45 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Turning Around The "Tone" Argument.
http://www.democraticunderground.com/125533630

REASON FOR ALERT:

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

This thread is in a protected group and is attacking a person who is blocked from the group. The person being attacked is the author of the linked thread in the post, which is in GD, where these comments should be instead of here. This is not what a protected group is supposed to be for, slandering someone who can't defend himself. This is pretty despicable, please put a stop to it. Thank you.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Dec 28, 2013, 12:53 PM, and the Jury voted 1-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: OMG
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: How is the post disruptive? Just because you don't agree with the post, don't mean it should be deleted.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: I totally agree with the alerter. This happens a lot in this group. They use it as their own little meta forum. SOP alerts are useless, since the only active host of this group is often a participant in these attack threads.
In the linked post, the poster was simply conceding points in order to focus the discussion. That's hardly a reason for this attack and call-out thread.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I suspect another attempt by the 'mens' group to get a post hidden in HoF. Sadly for them, I'm fine with MRA talking points being called out. Leave. Ohio Joe

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