Well, I succeeded in getting you all labeled anti science! [View all]

Sorry! Wasn't my intention. Nor am I anti science.

But someone sent me this jury and I think it's important that you all see the time and effort is given to get a hide. Luckily, this one went my way and I'm happy the jury saw through it:

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

boston bean has insisted throughout this thread that human beings are not apes, but if anyone tries to correct her she comes back with this argument: if you suggest that human beings are apes, you are telling black people that they are apes, ergo you are a racist. If you scroll through this thread you'll see boston bean repeatedly making this argument to people who are merely trying to give her the facts. The argument "humans aren't apes and if you say they are you're a racist" seems like such a logical stretch that it is hard to believe boston bean is doing anything but trolling in this thread.

As a Juror looking at this individual post my guess is that you'll be inclined to leave it alone because it doesn't contain anything specifically worth hiding - however, I encourage you to look at boston bean's behavior throughout this entire thread. She is not this stupid - she is trolling.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Feb 16, 2014, 11:58 AM, and the Jury voted 0-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: why was this alerted? Who alerted? I doubt the alerter is "stupid" either. They know (as do most on this long tedious thread) that BB was not denying evolution or the classification of hominids, but rather the posts suggesting that the genetic "closeness" implies women are no different than Bonobos when it comes to sex. Admins? Damn it is time to take a look at the rampant and crass misogyny on this website.

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Plenty of Menz trolling this thread as well. The same group. Always the same group of guys.

Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While I do wonder why(though a couple of reasons come to mind), I decided to, "Leave it alone", if only to be a means to an end, i.e.... this isn't really the way to do things; arguing tomato, tomahto, reegan, raygun, lets call the whole thing off!

Towards enlightenment.

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Her comments annoying (although to be more accurate humans are not apes but we share common ancestors with modern apes -- we are apelike hominids), but I'm voting to let it stand, sorry.

Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: All humans are apes. Not all apes are human. Pointing this out is not offensive.
