Are you serious?

That means pretty much anything goes around here.

Any thoughts about this, admins? Because I doubt you really want us running around here calling each other Assholes and Mother****ers.

...in how they choose to conduct their conversation.

Blatant personal attacks are routinely passed-over by
3-3, 4-2, or more and one or more jurors usually takes
the time to castigate the alerter for having too thin a skin.

8. Everyone here should at least show respect for everyone else.

I realize that's an uncommon expectation in "the
real world".

16. Why should we have to pretend here. We don't all respect one another and

there's no reason whatsoever at a mature discussion board that we need to pretend we are in Kindygarten. Politics are not "nice," as we are being taught by Republicans and Bluedogs alike. It's time for us to quit hanging on to the childish idea that good wins, and fight, fight fairly, but fight. This turn the other cheek and never say a contrary word crap is for fairy tales.

18. Well, just as long as you don't mind being part of the reason why people leave DU,

then by all means, carry on acting just as you're acting
and doing what you're doing.

But you may find that even you have standards below
which you're not comfortable descending.

71. Many of those we claim to desire to help and protect are ignorant and immature,

so why are you berating them. Is everyone supposed to be as prim and proper as you? That's a stereotype republicans try to put on us "elites," please don't resemble the concept, it's disgraceful even if it isn't ignorant or immature.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Gfy... Go **** yourself needs to go

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 8, 2012, 04:29 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: agree with the alerter
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Gfy isn't appropriate.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given

I purposely didn't look at other posts because there should never be an appropriate place to say "go f yourself".

At Sun Apr 8, 2012, 02:46 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

the same way you ****ers reflexively post without reading the articles.

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards[/url].)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

"you ****ers?" Really?

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Sun Apr 8, 2012, 02:56 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Personal attack, started two posts above this.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: An apt response, given the stifling and dismissive discussion leading up to it.
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Personal attack
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Whatever. The name-calling started with 'stupid' in the post above this one. If we hide one, should also hide the other. I am starting to miss the mods.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: 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.

Nobody saw this coming. I mean, it's not like we have a bunch of threads here in the DUmpster saying that DUmp3 was going to turn into a 'Lord of the Flies' type of environment...

When you let the inmates run the asylum, can you really expect anything different?

It pretty much defines what passes for liberal "argument":

1. Try to make a point.

2. Have your ass handed to you.

3. Devolve into name calling and ad hominems.

4. Declare victory.

Sorry, Tex.
I'll check the roster next time, and give you a call first.
Always best to have a united front for that sort of thing.

Many of those we claim to desire to help and protect are ignorant and immature, so why are you berating them.

Recall how screwed up the lives of the primitives are.  Yet they see themselves as being in a position to "help and protect" those they view as being "ignorant and immature."  The question continually arises just how the primitives, being ignorant and immature themselves, can ever be in a position to help others.  The answer is they can't, they can only harm others.  Were the primtives mature at all, they would already know this without us having to tell them.
