21. Somebody won't be alerting for 24 hours

Two things puzzle me (Juror #6) about this alert:
1. Why did anyone think this was hide-worthy?
2. Why did the email to me say that the alert was sent today at 5:40 PM? I just double-checked my preferences and I'm still on Eastern time. The DU server seems to be springing ahead a little too vigorously.

On Fri Mar 18, 2016, 05:40 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

This place is becoming Republican

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is beyond the pale.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Mar 18, 2016, 05:51 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Was article posting from some valid news source? Thin skinned people react badily
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is an absurd and unpleasant comment, but actually not the worst in this thread. I don't think it actually violates the TOS, though. It is pushing the envelope and I
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Complaining about alleged right-wing or Republican attitudes on DU is quite commonplace. There's no reason to single out this poster.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This Citizen Agrees With The Sentiment Expressed By The OP.

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

4. Well of course it is

So is pointing out that poll visiting is cheating and those who don't like to get shit on better think twice about Nov. The law can't do anything for us, well, we can show them. It's considered telling someone not to vote for the Queen, even though they can think for themselves and still vote for her. I'm just pointing out how they can show their dissatisfaction about cheaters. That's how I'm gonna do it.

20. Meanwhile on >80% of Dems support Single Payer/Universal Healthcare...

HRC's position on this has done real damage to this cause.

And all for what?

A few more millions which change nothing for her,
but change life itself for a majority of struggling Americans.

Pathetic.

[Ichingcarpenter]

22. OPERATIONMINDCRIME has taken over the site.

Insane liars, disinformation agents............ etc.

I suggest you let them pick cartoons, no not really, but you have that power to make real statements.

If you notice they have no sense of humour, irony or wit.

I can't think of one in that group that has it.

[LibDemAlways]

24. Is this or is this not a protected group? I posted that

this place is becoming Republican Above Ground because a concept like Medicare for all should be embraced by every Democrat -- you know, people who think (or ought to think) that everybody should have access to affordable health care, I know those on the opposite side of the aisle don't endorse this concept, so in my view, anyone who suggests that Medicare for all is a bad idea is a rightwinger or DINO. And I got alerted upon. Fortunately, the vote to keep it was 7-0.

Dear Hillary supporters,

You have your own protected group, and I leave you the hell alone. I do not alert on any posts there. Please respect my right to post in the Bernie group without unwanted interference.

Thanks

[Impedimentus]

27. Good luck with that request

You're dealing with a warped sense of what is right and wrong. They're always right and you're always wrong. Welcome to the perpendicular universe of HillaryLand.

28. They have no business here in the first place.

What's the point of having a so-called "protected" group if it's open to and posts alerted on by anyone?

Hillary supporters must be born with exceptionally thin skins. Alerting everything posted in Bernie's protected group is counter-productive and does less than nothing to drive up support for her on DU. I've been a contributing member since 2001 and remember when people mostly got along here despite differences of opinion. Unfortunately, that's not the case any more.

26. What's not these days? nt

[Dont call me Shirley]

29. OMFG! Medicare For All. Medicare E. Universal Healthcare. Single-Payer Healthcare. THERE!

I almost died because I had no health insurance, no ability to pay for healthcare therefore NO access to treatment. FUCK THEM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Healthcare is a HUMAN RIGHT!!!!! not a profit generator!
