jberryhill played GD like a fiddle, lol...

He pulled off the greatest GD trifecta of all time that is responsible for the fun-n-games today...

Here is the post that started the whole thing... (hint, read carefully.)
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10025085467

A newby to DU didn't know better and alerted on it. And the rest of DU was gullible enough to fall for it!!!1!

jberryhill, FTW! A masterful stroke, sir!

I wasn't upset about the breast, the nipple, or the baby... just that he needed to put a NSFW on the subject line. A reasonable request.

Now you say he was messing with us? Someone apparently needs a nap.

I wouldn't have voted to hide this... but I sure am glad it is now, except for the fact that many seem to think it's funny.

One would think people had better things to do.

However, that's okay.... the entire thing is stupid. If there were simply some courtesy around here and fewer people who like to play games, things would be much more civil.

As requested by several posters. It's a simple common courtesy and proper forum etiquette but he had to be a jerk about it and be refused to put a warning. That could get people in trouble at work.

A jury agreed with me.

So "the rest" is inaccurate.

I would wager that a large portion of DU reads at work and appreciate NSFW disclaimers.

knowing all the history tied up into the post and poster you alerted on.

DU is a very foolish place sometimes. It's not your fault at all.

Please believe me when I say "Welcome!" to DU! Your grand debut has been fun and don't you worry about it. This will pass (until jberryhill does it again, Haha!) and you'll come to be loved and respected here if you toe the line from here on out.

Thu Jun 12, 2014, 06:04 PM
Jun 2014

How on earth do you get to decide what is and should not be acceptable at someone elses workplace?

The poster had every right to alert and it looks like the jury agreed...so apparently not all of DU is in on this "fun" or history. The OP had no warning whatsoever. The title just talked about Open carry...nothing to do with nipples. How hard is it to put NSFW in the title?

It was indeed a masterstroke to make the analogy of breastfeeding with guns and blowing the babies head off with the nipple ie weapon or whatever. I guess The caption couldn't possibly be offensive to anyone. I find it ironic that there apparently are so many complaints about hiding INNOCENT breastfeeding but none about taking the innocence of breastfeeding and turning it into a disgusting analogy about guns.

said the alert should have focused on the gunz aspect of the post.

But the post wasn't about guns. It wasn't about breastfeeding. It wasn't about a restaurant (Olive Garden?)

Nope. The hidden post was about unimportant distractions. And it may have remained dead and buried if it hadn't gotten alerted on. But it did, it got in the the GD zeitgeist, and it went right over most peoples' heads, and GD fell for it hook, line, and sinker.
