Hard to believe, but this was alerted on.

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This is democratic underground no? These post are becoming more numerous and are a blatant violation of the goal of this website to elect democrats.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sat Apr 18, 2015, 02:20 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It is the person who wrote this alert that concerns me,
a great deal. THINK about what you're suggesting and THINK
about the words this long time poster in excellent standing
has said in his OP. If you come to the conclusion that this
OP and these words should be hidden, we as a party are
doomed. LEAVE IT.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I completely agree with the OP. Blind party loyalty is for slaves and fools.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I didn't know that Democrats discussing their party is against the TOS. Silly alert.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The goal of this website is to "elect Democrats?" Not to discuss policy and political issues? Has there been a DNC coup around here that nobody told me about? If this post is a violation of TOS I'm in the wrong place.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Why hide a decent post?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The third way may not like it, but he's right.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WTF? Why the heck was this alerted on?

Nice to see such a clear-thinking jury; their views exactly coincide with my own

On Edit: This they're/their error must not stand!
