Mondays suck moose cock. Everyone hates them.

Vulgar and artless. DUers can do better.

Thank you.
I wonder whatever happened to her "BlueIris semi nightly poetry" posts that stunk up the lounge? They were really bad. They made Calpeg look like a poet laureate.

4. Is the poster saying everyone hates Moose cock or Mondays?

While I don't particularly care for Moose cock, I wouldn't say I hate it.

14. And yet once again, the overall quality of discourse is lessened.

The downfall of many political websites was that they allowed the lowest common demoninator set the tone.
I was Juror #6, I was just about to post this mess.
Disclosing that fact should get you disqualified from all future jury selections.

Jurors should not be punished for expressing their opinion about an alert or about the post alerted on.
After reading a back and forth, i come across this gem:

And believe me, at over four hundred alerts, I've seen it before. It seems that some of them are trying to bully alerters into letting things like personal attacks be acceptable on DU, so that people who like to bully can bully openly. Only they can't really bully me, because they do not really know who I am, and relatively few of my posts are things that a jury would vote to hide. I used to do work at a TV station, and there was footage of some guy in a truck on the gag reel going "You better not be takin' no pictures of me!" and he kept saying things, but he couldn't do anything, so he stopped yelling but still said "You better not be takin' no pictures of me...". This was funny enough to put on the gag reel.
It is like the bully is behind a fence yelling his head off, while I am laughing. It is funny to me!
Damn.
These DUmmies sure do love the ability to judge others. I thought they believed in free speech!
I know. Free speech for me and not for thee.
Little tin-pot power trippers.
