You might look cool, but you will never look this cool

[Major Nikon]

1. Yeah, like smoking is cool

I would suggest that the look he is portraying is "swarmy".

[A HERETIC I AM]

2. Naaaah...

it isn't swarmy.

It's "You got a problem with me? Go fuck yourself. I'm English."

[cwydro]

8. Lol.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

abusive

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed May 27, 2015, 08:16 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The comment is not directed at the prior post. I think the alerter misread the post they flagged
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter needs comprehension lessons. Poster was talking about the attitude of the person in the photo.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Think the poster was interpreting the thoughts of the person in the photo rather than insulting the DUer he replied to
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seems to me the poster is stating an opinion. I'm not sure how this can be seen as "abusive."
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is hardly "abusive". Yeesh.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: While smoking may no longer be "cool" this post was not abusive the comment seems to be referring to the attitude portrayed in the photo not the poster.

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

[A HERETIC I AM]

9. I had a feeling that would happen

I'm surprised it took so long!

Thanks

[ProfessorGAC]

13. I Was A Juror

I think the alerter completely misinterpreted the post. Saw it directed somewhere other than where it was really directed.

[cwydro]

15. Me too.

The alert made no sense at all.

3. I know that you meant "smarmy" but still.....you are WAY off. HE is COOL !!!! nt

[Throd]

4. No, I think he meant covered with angry bees.

[randr]

5. I'll accept credit for the coinage

Swarmy--overly sweet or engrossed by honey bees.

[BlancheSplanchnik]

10. while honey bees are indeed fascinating,

I think you meant "enveloped".


Thank you, no applause necessary...Grammar Nazi's work here is done.

[randr]

27. I actually think it would be gross so I'm sticking with engrossed

[kentauros]

24. "Help! I'm covered in bees!"

[cbayer]

6. Someone forgot to tell him that cigarettes are no longer cool

[clarice]

7. Very interesting glimpse into your psyche .........'

In that wonderful picture of an elegant, distinguished, handsome man, you chose to notice the one
possibly offensive item ie; cigarette

[cbayer]

14. The cigarette ruins the entire image for me.

IMO, he is neither elegant, distinguished nor handsome. He is a tool who bought into a meme pushed by corporations that peddled death for years.

Glimpse into my psyche? Hardly. Pretty much every picture taken of me for 45 years included a cigarette.

[trof]

40. Oh...nevermind.

Militant non-smokers just piss me off.

[Lizzie Poppet]

19. Um...it's DU.

If there's anything even remotely "offensive" about something in a post, the chances someone will point it out approach unity.

[clarice]

22. Why is that? Really curious....nt

[BlancheSplanchnik]

11. look cool? Feh.

BE COOL!

[WinkyDink]

12. Ian McKellin was born cool. (P.S. "Smarmy" would be a totally different expression.)

[cwydro]

16. He sure was.

I couldn't care less about the cigarette. He's an adult.

[WinkyDink]

29. I used to show his "Macbeth" in my h.s. classes. Of course, he was brilliant. (Dame Judi Dench was

Lady M., equally awesome!)

[Sanity Claws]

17. Is he holding a martini in the other hand?

He looks like someone who smokes and drinks, a lot.

[clarice]

23. That's why I like him. nt

[Tipperary]

32. I do too.

He's a classic.

[RKP5637]

33. I think he's cool. With or without the cigarette, I hope I look that good when old. n/t

[clarice]

34. Bet yer ass. nt

[pinboy3niner]

18. He's no Christopher Walken

And Christopher Walken is no Sir Ian.

30. Needs more cowbell?

[hifiguy]

20. Nobody will EVER

be cooler than Bogart. No one. He wound up with Lauren Bacall, for Celestia's sake. Nuff said, I think.

21. An Ordinary Man

[kentauros]

25. Suave.

[GOLGO 13]

28. Oh look, a special snowflake got upset over your remark.

Even in the lounge, some gentle lamb got all butt hurt over a comment.

This place gets lamer & lamer.

[cwydro]

31. I serve on a lot of juries.

I'm amazed at some of the alerts.

[RKP5637]

35. Agree! Some of the alerts are absolutely ridiculous. Often it seems the alerter lacks

reading comprehension skills and/or is just looking to do an alert.

[Major Nikon]

39. ...

[In_The_Wind]

36. hmmm. I missed that one.

[Prisoner_Number_Six]

37. You're right.

I was cooler.

[Enrique]

38. he could use some conditioner on his beard

it's quite frizzy
