At Mon Dec 3, 2012, 06:44 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

I have a different conclusion
http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1114&pid=5635

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate. (See <a href="http://www.democraticunderground.com/?com=aboutus#communitystandards" target="_blank">Community Standards</a>.)

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

"It isn't a problem they are actually asking for solutions to. Sounds crass?"

Actually it sounds incredibly sexist and misogynistic to infer that women aren't really concerned about rape, they just want to argue with the men that are being dismissive, belittling and helping to fuel the problem that DU is currently experiencing in regards to the discussion about rape.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Mon Dec 3, 2012, 06:54 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: These alerts are way beyond fucking ridiculous now. Oh, and the word is "imply".

--Systematic Chaos
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: The alerter is wrong. The poster is referring to specific people who with great joy like lecturing people. He's spot on.
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over the top, and totally sexist (although that isn't a violation of the TOS) and we womenfolk understand that.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: This alert is a waste of time. Merely because an opinion is outside the norm, or not what the alerter wants to see does not in and of itself make the opinion disruptive, hurtful, rude, insentitive or over the top.

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.
