I can't even..... imagine the reaction.

One suspects it would be like the scene in "Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead" where she walks into Keith Coogan's room, sees the pin-ups and black light pot leaf posters, and -pfffft- keels right over.

If the guy needs meds to keep from being a sociopathic ass, then not taking the meds was bad enough.

with a certain group of like-minded duers. They probably opened up this thread expecting to go to white hot anger mode level 10 at once! This had to be disappointing.

About their thoughts when opening this thread. Yet your thoughts when opening this thread were about them. Mirror Mirror on the Wall. Do you have any opinions about the cover or just Duers? You went with one and not the other. It is a wonderful cover, you should look at it instead of obsess over duers.

Anyway, I have no thoughts on this particular cover, except it is unusual to see on a magazine like Sports Illustrated.

Guess the truth is alert-worthy, now. I do have trouble understanding why posts listing the usernames of everyone who recs a particular thread should be ok on DU, but a post mentioning that behavior, wouldn't be.

Would love to see the results, if you've still got em.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

As seaglass says in a post further down the thread, these types of posts are "turning this thread to shit" and i agree. This OP was allegedly about the survivors of last years bombing. Please hide shit-stirring posts like these.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Clearly a shit-stirring post that hopefully will be hidden.

Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Someone alerted on this? WTF?

I'm from New England, actually knew 2 people that ran the marathon that day, yet posting the cover is shit-stirring?

Oh well. I have a thick skin.
