Nominating Fellow DU'ers for the Jackie Award instead of Alerting?

This is ridiculous!

When some people find something but others do not
Yes, this is a follow-on to my recently started thread in this forum. I thank-you for your indulgence.

Obviously, some folks find some things offensive and others do not share that sensitivity. That's not an accusation of hyper-sensitivity or insensitivity, just an observation. However, are those who do not share that same sensitivity obliged by polite society to honor the requests of those who do are offended?

Now, the interests of free and open dialogue suggest we shiould just move on; and I'm actually sympathetic to free and open dialogue. Conversely, those who are not offended by X may well be offended by Y. If they do not honor the senstitives of those offended by the former do they have any right to complain about the latter?

How do we discern, "this but not that"?

9. "We shouldn't purposely offend others, but we don't want to be the word police, either."

I think that encapsulates the discussion very succinctly. Thank-you.

Now we just need a practical solution. Maybe instead of an alert we can nominate someone for a "Jackie," the back-end of the Democrat party mascot. So and so says something insensitive and a reader clicks "Nominate." If 2/3 of the jury agrees the tail end of a donkey appears in their post.

Proposal: The Jackie
Maybe instead of an alert we can nominate someone for a "Jackie," the back-end/wrong-end of the Democrat party mascot. So and so says something insensitive or contrary to the norms of polite dialogue and a reader clicks "Nominate." If 2/3 of the jury agrees the tail end of a donkey appears in their post.

Silly and juvenile? Absolutely; but so are some posts that don't quite rise to the level of a TOS alert.

Who decides if something is right or wrong to say? what might be insensitive to some might not be insensitive to someone else. Would a jury decide?

One man's Sugar Honey Ice Tea is another man's Shinola !

Which reminds me, Shinola rhymes with...Enola. But that little gem of insensitivity might be better saved for an especially appropriate time.

This is a clear, utter, blatant ripoff of "The Willie", an award given here for the past several years as part of the Top DUmmy competition.

No DUmpmonkey has ever had an original idea.

When I saw the "Jackie," I wondered why the primitives wanted to smear the wife of a slain president.

Primatives smear crap where ever they go.
That's why you always see them licking windows.
Sad,... but humorous in it's own right.

NU ended-up marrying her rethuglican.

Back in the days of DU2 her fundie christian MIL died--cancer, IIRC--and she wrote about how grieved she was over that. She seemed quite genuine about it so I didn't bring it over to this Temple of Righteous Mocking.

You know, that's an idea.

I'll bet that somehow, in some way, there's money to be made from it.

We could issue various mintages, common to rare.

I'd have the sparkling husband dude a rare one, only five in existence, and at the other end, the big guy a common one, maybe 50,000 of them.

I was of the impression that "The Jackie" was a pr0n industry award for hottest sex-scene involving circus midgets, monkeys, fat and hairy Italian men, and a whole gaggle of slutty chicks...    :popcorn:

But again, this is DU after all - the above could describe a typical DU "meat"-up.... So, I suppose its fitting.
