I had a post hidden this morning.
That doesn't happen to me often, and I'm sorry that I posted what I did. My intention was to provide a link to show the image I posted was actually Mad Magazine and not a photoshop. The link in question went to a site run by Michelle Malkin. I didn't know she ran the site in question, in fact had to google her name to remind me of who she is. The person who created the alert used the link to Malkin's site as justification for the alert, and three of the jurors who voted to hide described the Malkin link as the reason for their vote.
Again, my apologies.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
This really seems like doubling down. Why on earth try to drive more eyes to that post and the website link?
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Thu Jun 12, 2014, 09:09 AM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Michelle Malkin is an evil parasite. If a DU is psychologically damaged, or just deeply offended from a apology thread, we have a long, long way to go
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Easy mistake to make. Seems to me like the aleter is over the top.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, Scuba is trying to explain, nothing wrong with that. I don't see it as doubling down, it is an apology.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given

(18,101 posts)Members whose transparency pages are showing will not be restricted in any other ways. They will be able to send and receive DU Mail. They will be able to recommend threads. They will even be able to send alerts (this is so people can't insult people who are temporarily blocked).
It was in announcements.

(30,481 posts)We all make mistakes here. I have made more than a few. While the attacks on Hillary are starting to bother me as they very closely mimics attacks from the right, she brought this one on herself. When she makes a comment as she did, true or not, she opens herself up to ridicule from everyone. It is clear to me from your posting history that you post in good faith. Makes this a non-issue for me.

(28,394 posts)It doesn't mention the evil witch (Malkin) anywhere on that page that I could spot.
Thanks for posting this explanation, Scuba. A lot of us learned from your mistake today.
Sorry you got hidden though, for a completely innocent mistake. They should have given you a chance to correct it.

(14,498 posts)But hide it , I did.
We have to have some standards as far as sources go and Malkin is just beyond whatever that line is.
That being the said, the spoof of the trite and ever-tedious, Clinton ( I can't believe we are going to go thru this yet again. ) is spot on... whether it came from Malkin or MAD.

(5,668 posts)so anyone linking to foxnews should be put on alert too?? No Apology needed since I've never heard of the site but okay was a stupid name for a site. Twitchy sounds like a term that means she's excited for sex or something. interestingly as far as Mad Magazine goes. it's like the movie The Incredibles. Which I consider a fairly left wing movie. Which gets alot of liberals mad. Because they consider it a very right wing movie. Like hello the female is the one keeping the family together.
Mad Magazine is considered a Tea Party magazine and yet it bashes the tea party. Loved Mad Magazine since I was young. It's Neutral like SNL. Basically DU should have a big link on the time on what sites one shouldn't be linking to because they are owned by right wing crazies and personally I'd love to know because not all of us know that they are. Now if I'd seen the picture I would have saved the picture and simply uploaded it here. I didn't originally want to serve on a jury until one time I had to report.
