In case you didn't know.....

You may not be able to post comments on hidden threads,

but thank Baal you can at least see and read them


AND


you may still recommend them.

Wouldn't it be ironic if a hidden post ended up on the Greatest Page?

When Miss Prunella* got a Rude Pundit post hidden, it had well over 100 recs after the hide.

*Miss Prunella can be either sex but has a distinctly constipated take on language.

either that or you want a post that reprinted exactly the same idiocies on the greatest page.

Wow! what does it take to have you realise that such stuff is not acceptable on DU?

Who makes you Bosun or Second Mate?

Now as you cannot seem to grasp the simple logic of a hide the offensive post was hidden 6 - 1 and I did not get a vote. The post was offensive and would have been hidden in whatever group or forum in which it was posted.

Not to me.

I wonder what the vote woulda been had 12....20.....35 people voted for or against.

I wonder when people will stop being so sensitive? You'd think they were children!

6. Nope, like you I can alert on posts. It is not the job of a host to alert on posts

Now it seems to have escaped your notice but your post was hidden, not burnt, not deleted but hidden, emphatically 6 -1. Now unless you are accusing me of fixing a jury this means that your post was offensive twaddle worthy of a hide.

The juries here are notoriously bad, with many people just not getting the whole point of the system.
