Apparently some people find it offensive to tell someone "I don't like your speech, buck-o. How do you like that? Take your oval face and stuff it up your wormhole."
There's no accounting for taste.

JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Sep 18, 2014, 02:04 PM, and voted 4-3 to HIDE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "buck-o" is offensive? Now the instruction to perform the unnatural act, that I would have voted to hide. Oh well.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Hmmm... Not sure if this was meant as humor, but...
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I honestly can't tell whether this is just fun between friends or not. But since I can't tell, I am going to vote to hide it.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It appears to be a lame exchange from that Kids in the Hall or Monty Python thing from the 70's.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Hide it!

(25,921 posts)of being well-read in the great literature that is Dune. Clearly the jury did not know from whence your insult sprang forth.
Nonetheless, I have updated my sigline, in an effort to protect your postifying.

This ranks second, just behind the kerfuffle over your past siglines!
