Lloyd Blankfein, Goldman Sachs CEO, Has Cancer, Will Start Chemotherapy Treatment
<snip>
"Late this summer after several weeks of not feeling well, I underwent a series of tests, which culminated in a biopsy last week. After the biopsy, I was told by my doctors that I have lymphoma. Fortunately, my form of lymphoma is highly curable, and my doctors' and my own expectation is that I will be cured.
"My treatment plan will include chemotherapy over the next several months in New York. My doctors have advised me that during the treatment, I will be able to work substantially as normal, leading the firm. I will, however, reduce some of my previously planned travel during the treatment period. I have discussed this approach with our Board of Directors and they are supportive.
There are many people who are dealing with cancer every day. I draw on their experiences as I begin my own. I have a lot of energy, and I'm anxious to begin the treatment. I appreciate your support and good wishes."

Good luck but no support or good wishes from me

ALERTER'S COMMENTS
"No support or good wishes" for a cancer patient is just wrong. It makes DU look bad.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Sep 22, 2015, 01:26 PM, and the Jury voted 1-6 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: God what a stupid alert
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Let me see ... this makes DU look bad?
Fuck Goldman Sachs ... I have no support or good wishes either......
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I think malaise is expressing a lack of concern for someone highly unlikable not a wish that that he come to harm. I would give this one a pass and leave it.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: This post reads like a dog-whistle for "I hope this guy dies", and that's reprehensible.
We should want people, regardless of worldview, to suffer less and not more.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Not a violation of any rules; not hideworthy.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Lack of sympathy is not a hide-able offense, IMO.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: He was wished good luck, the alert left that out.

(18,837 posts)...and Malaise would be on that list. I mean, WTF?
The "jury system" needs some work, especially when it comes to some of the people who click "alert."
I need to go find Skittles...if I tell her about what they tried to do to Malaise, I KNOW some asses are going to get kicked. I KNOW IT.
