So grave-dancing is OK, noting that a grave-dancer is on timeout is not? WTF?

This discussion thread was locked as off-topic by EarlG (a host of the General Discussion forum).

On Sun Dec 20, 2015, 10:29 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Grave dancer is on time out
http://www.democraticunderground.com/128086983

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Complains about gravedancing but enjoys dancing over a time out. This is hypocrisy of the highest order. Please hide.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Sun Dec 20, 2015, 10:33 AM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: NOOOO!!!
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Gloating about a person's "time out" is unseemly, and doing it in a protected group where others can be excluded from the discussion is worse. This should be hidden, regardless of who the poster is.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Lol. No dice, alerter.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Had just about enough of OS and his hypocrisy.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the person who alerted, this simple hypocrisy
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The grave dancing the poster is talking about are members who have been banned. Steve is just pointing out the fact this member is now on a time out. He shows now joy or excitement like the person on a time out. This is such a weak alert, it in itself should be alerted on.




If this gets hidden, so be it. I've very rarely had a post hidden but this hypocrisy is too much for me.
