Letting such things stand are not a testiment to DU's goodness, or greatness. They are a testament to allowing ugliness. No other way to put it.

137. I love how people call people out and then alert a post

What a weasely way to go about arguing.

On Fri Feb 7, 2014, 09:32 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

**** Latin America's lame ass leaders who blame the US for all their woes. If that's "Republican",
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=4461024

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

Repeated abuse toward Latin Americans.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Feb 7, 2014, 09:43 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This one is a no brainer. The alerter who started it by slamming Tarheel should take his advice and keep their mouth shut instead of calling out the person under false pretenses (See Post#22).
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Give me a break. This was alerted on to stifle any
further discussion IMO, and as such is a childish way to end an argument. LEAVE IT


The three people who voted to hide didn't even bother to say why. I bet they also didn't bother to look at the context of the conversation.

92. good point. I may have to reevaluate Tarheel. Especially with the wording choice of

DUmping ground. Only a few I know of who would refer to DU as DUmp. hmmmm......
hmmmm, indeed, DUmbass. :yahoo:

and writing off a whole segment of the globe because we don't like the leaders in certai countries?

Then-Chief Justice John Marshall observed, “Between a balanced republic and a democracy, the difference is like that between order and chaos.”

John Adams warned in a letter, “Remember democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet, that did not commit suicide.”

Listen PW, this is where your life choices have left you fallen short. The overwhelming majority of reasonable people in the world would, having examined the beliefs of the members there, refer to DU as a DUmp. That you only know a few who would automatically tells me you hang out with extremely stupid people.

All I can say is if it is one of us, then we need to once again *sigh* run the webinar "Sock Puppetry and DU."

It is like where I work -- they keep giving us seminars about methodology and everyone just uses their own...

It seems there are a lot of fires over there about a Glenn Greenwald.  The collective slant appears to be, that if you don't regard him as a hero, then you are a traitor to progressive ideals.

At least that's what I get out of it.

Greenwald is the one who has been publishing the NSA documents that Snowden stole.

DUmmie has a heavy heart because liberal hearts are actually made of stone.
“The American people will never knowingly adopt socialism. But, under the name of ‘liberalism’, they will adopt every fragment of the socialist program, until one day America will be a socialist nation, without knowing how it happened.” - Norman Thomas, U.S. Socialist Party presidential candidate 1940, 1944 and 1948

"America is like a healthy body and its resistance is threefold: its patriotism, its morality, and its spiritual life. If we can undermine these three areas, America will collapse from within."  Stalin
