msanthrope (13,987 posts) Dear HopeHoops--After a 6-0 Hide, Kindly Get a Clue.At Fri Nov 23, 2012, 06:34 PM you sent an alert on the following post: Get out a double-bladed ***** razor and chill out. http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=1872383 REASON FOR ALERT: 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].) YOUR COMMENTS: A "*****" razor? This poster has a long history of posting vile and offensive references to women, and continues to do so deliberately--check out this gem--http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1018&pid=201587 Please show this poster that there is no reason for this sexist language, which makes DU suck! A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Fri Nov 23, 2012, 07:08 PM, and voted 6-0 to HIDE IT. Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Good grief, this long time poster knows better. The post is offensively misogynistic, even if directed at a male DUer. I vote to hide. Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: Use of the word ***** is offensive. Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: Sexist as hell. Please hide. Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: Promoting racism is unacceptable around here. Why is it some DUers feel it acceptable to promote sexism? Substitute the racist slur 'bootlips' for the sexist slur "*****" and we DUers would be so outraged we would easily be calling for the poster to be TSed! Sexism and racism are equally vile. The physical harm both caused to our citizenry, both on an individual level and on a societal level is imeasurable.Racism and Sexism are equally insidious, they must be treated as equally unacceptable around here. My apologies to any who are offended by my use of either slur. I hope it is understood that I found it necessary to use both to drive the point that both slurs are treated unequal around here and in my opinion this is unacceptable. Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given Thank you. Dear HopeHoops, I don't much care for the word wars. I ignore mild insults that are juvenile and ignorant, and think others should, too. But this is quite offensive and vulgar. It is beyond the pale. And, you've been told this before. Kindly desist.
"Kindly desist"
