It's been almost 2 years since I've had a post hidden.

And as far as I know, I haven't had a post alerted on since that time either.

Served on a jury earlier and was thinking that it's not very hard to avoid having posts hidden.

However, had I not deleted a number of posts before actually posting them, I probably would have been banned from DU a few years ago already.

Alerter thought he had said "tortured". Jury voted 7-0 to leave.

On Fri Jun 13, 2014, 08:48 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Hey Nikki... I've Been Fighting This Fight Since The Briggs Initiative...
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1002&pid=5095280

REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS

He was ”tortured by many a gay person" so it's OK to tell one they make their "cause look silly"??

That's terrible.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jun 13, 2014, 09:26 PM, and the Jury voted 0-7 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Geez. Is this really over a typo? If anything in this thread is "terrible," this is it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: WillyT says he was tutored by many a gay person. You thought he said "tortured".
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: The alerter needs to learn how to read. The word WillyT used was TUTORED, as in taught. Idiotic alert made by someone who can't fucking read!
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
