REASON FOR ALERT:
This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.
ALERTER'S COMMENTS:
This is outrageous language considering if anything similar was said by a man to a woman on DU there would be complaints of sexist language. Why is it okay for women to use it? No one should be using it, period.
You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri Jan 3, 2014, 02:07 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.
Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: tacky
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Sorry, but I'm getting tired of all these alerts and debates (including the sarcasm) unless there is something new. Some of us who grew up in the 60's are sympathetic to gender-based causes, ethnic causes, and "burn your draft card", but folks have to make up their mind - either get in there an argue your point or else skip the thread. It's impossible to hide one post out of a bunch (like recipes?) that are designed to provoke even if it's a pointless post. If you want, hit ignore. Unless it's clearly agains the rules, I have to let similar posts go...leave it.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Seriously? You think the offense is this post, and not the attempt to derail via a recipe?
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This is in reply to an off-topic trolling post. I think it is okay.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Though obviously sarcastic I feel the poster could have gotten the point across using a less blatant trolling technique.
Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
