ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Starting a new thread as a call-out against another poster who (politely) disagreed with her in the original thread.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Jul 5, 2014, 11:44 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Oh for fuck's sake.

Stay out of HoF if your sensibilities are that delicate.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The OP is in a protected group and she wants to discuss the implications of WHAT is being said not WHO said it. There is a difference. Please, quit alert stalking this protected group. I am politely disagreeing with The Alerter. I will allow. Leave It Alone.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I voted to leave it, but the alerter should go back and argue in the original thread if he/she wants to.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Seriously?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: ??
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Inappropriate meta discussion thread. Discuss at the original thread instead.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given

Politely disagrees that women's civil rights matter. I can't even begin to express the anger I feel at the pretense that there is anything polite about dismissing the rights of any segment of the population.

a majority of the whole fucking world.

It is why I don't even bother interacting with that one.

There is not enough education or enlightenment to teach him or light to show him the error of his ways.

Leave him be in his dark corner.

Trust me, he feels comfortable with the roaches that scurry in the crevices.

level headed, fair spirited people on board. You learned early on and in a very public manner about trying to game the system and since then I have found you to be principled and well meaning but, honestly ....

some of these posts that are so OTT that it has to be Idiocracy.

and then to have a juror tell you that YOU the deserve the Tombstone ... ?

which, of course, tells me it is someone who has been around since DU2 because Tombstone went with Grovelbot. It pains to know that an old timer is such a MCP or else a woman so twisted in her thinking that she does not realize she is sleeping with the enemy.

Society doesn't see it that way. It's the same double standard that we see applied to assertive women vs. assertive men.

society.

This is where sea has her trouble/problem/issue.

She gives back as good as she gets and the men (and their women) want to punish her "mouthiness"

It is - as if - they would stone her via the internet.

I am pretty sure all her hides have come when she is in the middle of a heated exchange and the other poster has said something equally offensive and sea (in her way) tries to explain the offensive and is perceived as being offensive.

Men can say any goddamn thing they want, in any tone they want, and expect to NEVER be challenged. Act shocked, offended, and 18 kinds of put out if you even MENTION that there might be a wee problem with anything they said.

LOL, male privilege in action, right there.

Fuck. That. Noise.

I am done.

I tend to use a lot of sarcasm in those incidents or make a joke.

not the most effective way, maybe, to get out the message but, so far, I have managed to not have a hidden post in some time.
