JURY RESULTS

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 27, 2011, 09:19 AM, and the Jury voted 4-2 to HIDE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Sexist
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: I'm voting to hide this BASED EXCLUSIVELY ON THE FACT that DU has always had a zero tolerance level for the word "bitch." It's like the "n" word, often referred to as "the "b" word," because people have become so afraid to post it, regardless of the context. But it's obvious that the poster intended its use as a derogatory descriptor for Democratic women who are less than team players.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Tasteless, but I don't think it violates community standards.
Juror #6 voted to HIDE IT and said: Unnecessary reponse, insensitive to others.

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



if just one more poster didnt give a shit about sexism, blue bitch stands. too many people dont care about sexism. too many people embrace it. i have had more odd reasons to allow sexism to stand on du3. a joke about bluehealer dogs = blue bitches should be an anonymous hide.
