Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT

Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Alerter, you appear to disagree with his opinion. That's OK, so do I, but that is NOT a reason to hide something. Or alert on it for that matter.
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: This is simply someone's opinion. Discussion/debate would be more appropriate than alerting and hiding.
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Victim blaming..................

Apologies if this is should not be posted. I'm aware we tend to not do meta threads here, but that post just irritated me. This is my 3rd alert since joining. Just wanted to share and get your opinions. I'll take it down ASAP if I'm wrong.
