DUmpmonkiez are always upset so this should come as no surprise.

I don't think I've ever been as disgusted at a DU jury as I am right now
I'm not sure this is the right place for this but I'm so outraged I can't think straight.
This post , in response to an OP about a woman who was murdered at her place of work (a pizza place) in an act of domestic violence, was actually upheld 3 -3.....
"Yes the pizza is that freaking bad!"
Yeah, real funny...And yet upheld as OK.
WTF ?????????????
Yeah, I don't think it's funny either, but I wouldn't have alerted on it.

16. I remember when a couple of guys outed themselves as rapists
on a thread. No amount of pleading with the mods got that taken down. Sometimes this place just reeks.
Now, who is to say they didn't rape the same sex? BUT---- WAR ON WOMEN!!!

11. "The alert stalking claim is bogus."
"The number of alerts is very small, and even if they don't result in a hidden post the vast majority of them are legitimate. Certainly some people alert more than others, but we don't see anyone doing it in a manner that is abusive. Yes, some alerts are occasionally bogus, and yes sometimes people alert on other people multiple times -- I have even done so myself from time-to-time. But the system has shown itself repeatedly to be self-regulating -- juries rarely if ever hide posts that do not deserve to be hidden, and if a person sends an alert that is found to be bogus they temporarily lose their ability to alert.
The alert stalking claim persists because some people here want it to persist. They don't want to consider the possibility that their own posts were hidden because they deserved to be hidden on the merits. "

40. We are not in a clinical environment, or a war zone, we are on a progressive message forum.
A reality based community, indeed.

27. I alerted on a "joke" the other day about
that gay football player's father taking one of his sons to Mexico to have sex. Some asshole "joked": "Sometimes you just gotta have a taco" and the jury let it stay. Couldn't believe it. In times past that would NEVER EVER have stayed. Seems we have a bunch of adolescent boys that have recently come on board and too many DUers who have never grown out of that stage.
The only choice I had was to put the asshole on ignore as I don't want to see any more of his "jokes."
War on Gheys.
The real problem with DU and the monkiez is that they are always mad, always hurt, always outraged by everything. In their world there would be no humor, no free will, no free thinking, only what the liberal gods declare is correct.
