(8,879 posts)I'm sick and tired of fat jokes around here. We might hate republicanism, but I thought we were accepting of the obese.
JURY RESULTS
A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Thu Jan 9, 2014, 08:42 PM, and voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I think this could be a play on "that's a big fat lie." I'm not much on weight jokes, but I'll give poster benefit of doubt. Plus, I just don't like hiding most posts. Let others post putting offenders in their place.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I'll let this one go. The body of the post indicates the joke is about how big a liar he is, not how big he literally is. Considering what juries allow to stand, this is ok.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: Agree with the alerter. There are lots of others like this not getting hidden, but that doesn't make this post right.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Making fun of fat people is a thing here on DU, and seems to be acceptable so I guess this stands.
