ALERTER'S COMMENTS

I'm not ok with this comment. Not sure if the poster is trying to be funny but this comment is insensitive and hurtful.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Oct 23, 2014, 04:09 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Don't be silly.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Dear Alerter: Yes. The poster is trying to be funny with this comment. You gingers are so damn sensitive. Sheesh.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: It's a joke. It's like saying everyone knows cats are girls and dogs are boys. Clearly, they're not.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: I agree with the alert message.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Did someone actually alert on this??? For real???
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
