ALERTER'S COMMENTS

This group is a safe haven for feminists. There are all kinds of threads in General Discussion where this poster can defend using the word "whore" against women and democratic presidential candidates. It is completely inappropriate and just plain shit stirring to do so in this group.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Jul 21, 2015, 10:34 AM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Skittles poses a good question...all this warfare over semantics is nuts.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Perhaps you should explain that to her. Sometimes people don't know where they are and all she did was ask a question.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Supporting the HOF group standards. Hide.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: A thread about the terminology used in a discussion in the Feminism group... I don't see where this crosses a line. If folks are going to debate terminology, then talking about terminology should not be banned. I see no personal attack. Let the discussion continue.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
