i mostly tease. administration is great at looking at intent. you will be fine. we will see if you get a self hide. i never get in trouble, so to learn my lesson i would have to self punish me. you know, ground myself. lol

I didn't even think about the boobs (failed my bros again), but I figured Skittles would never target sea. That's what made it funny to me.

Just on principle, though I have nothing against appreciation threads and this is not intended to support or endorse you in any way. Just want to get my notice out there.

Be forewarned!

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Although it's fun this is a pre-emptive callout of a DUer. This has gone to far. People are made to feel uncomfortable by these threads, and all the appreciation is doing is creating divisiveness. Please vote to hide this thread.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jul 12, 2014, 10:42 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: If you don't like appreciation threads, don't click on them.
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Like anything else, we'll run this in the ground too. Some people just don't know when to stop, we've reached the point of stupid.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is a SoP issue, not CS.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: ?????
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: ROFL
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh, come on.

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