Just sat on a jury. Juror 4 is a piece of work.

On Thu May 1, 2014, 11:47 AM an alert was sent on the following post:

Maybe I used the wrong words. "I have a discussion with my wife about this topic.

REASON FOR ALERT

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

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

So sick of this guy bashing nationalities. Everyday he's either trashing Americans or the Chinese. Bigotry is fucking bigotry and it makes DU suck.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu May 1, 2014, 12:03 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: DU needs two new forums.
She-Ra man hating forum no boys allowed!


Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: A fine whine ... What makes DU suck is people stifling discussion by taking offense so easily. How can one compare cultures without any criticism?
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: nanjing to seoul said/wrote nothing that can be construed covertly or overtly as bigotry. I don't understand the reason for this alert. Overly sensitive in my estimation.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

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

Boys are most definitely allowed. Skinner said we were to educate the boys. I see men on here all the time trying to help the boys grow into respectable, decent contributing members of society.

It was a "Freudian Slip" of the tongue by NtS, I am sure. It was a good catch, not sure it should have been alerted but, am Glad that it was because it exposed Juror#4 whomever they may be.

I think that's a thing. Even if the misogyny wasn't offensive, which it is, the innumeracy would be.

It's about bigotry toward Americans and Chinese. So, juror #4 can't correctly read an alert. Perhaps their juror privileges should be revoked?
