REASON FOR ALERT

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

YOUR COMMENTS

Incredibly rude newbie alert. Personal insults galore.

JURY RESULTS

A randomly-selected Jury of DU members completed their review of this alert at Tue Feb 18, 2014, 09:47 AM, and voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT ALONE.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I vote leave since I did go back and read the conversation. The post seabeyond replied to very rudely was fine. Seabeyond came in and was rude and got rude back. Also, I don't hide for being a newbie. We've all been there. EVERYONE play nice if you want the rudeness to go away.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: While the poster freely admits to being feral, I think there is a better person deep inside. I hope this isn't how they truly conduct themselves and can use this lesson as a turning point in their life on du and in the outside world. Poster, please find a more productive outlet for your anger. Thanks.
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: So, penalize a noob for responding to an insult with an insult? Why is it so many of the alerts I'm called on to judge involve seabeyond?
