I had a post hidden today.

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

I think that makes three since I joined in April, 2010.

The alert said I called another poster a liar when what I actually said was "Your post was total bullshit."













I guess calling out total bullshit is not OK with at least five DU members (alerter and four of seven jurors).

This post just might get hidden as meta. So it goes.

1. Alert on the decision PM you received.

Worth a shot.

[Skittles]

2. WIMPS alert on stuff like that, Scuba

total fucking WIMPS

you tell me my posts are bullshit as much as you please; yes INDEED

3. Where I come from saying something is bullshit is the same as saying it's a lie.

Maybe you intended something else. BTW I didn't alert or served on the jury-if I had been on the jury I would have voted to leave.

4. Some of these jury results are insane

One poster got a hide for posting a Merriam Webster definition.

5. I has a post hidden for dedicating a music video to HC

6. I have been serving on some really strange juries in the last month or so.

Unless something is really over the top rude, I usually vote to leave it and suggest that often
what's alerted is simply an opinion and not to be so sensitive. Dispute it or argue it or offer
another opinion. Too many alerts seem like just wanting to censor opposing opinions.

7. I had a K&R alerted.

It stayed on a 3-4 jury vote.

I saw somebody else get a hide for calling Trump a Birther.

Go figure...

8. Thanks for chiming in on this thread. Yeah, the jury system is wacko these days, eh?

9. I went to the range this morning.

And have been drinking beer for a few hours. Little Sumpin'. A great ale.

No one cares about my day, although so far it has been very pleasant and Trackman patted my head nicely.

Consider my remarks in light of yours.

10. I was alerted on twice today for lashing out on a misogynist RW troll

Thankfully the jury looked at context and neither was hidden.

[Scuba]

12. That troll was an asshole. Your "lashing out" was perfectly justified.

[Nye Bevan]
