Meta call outs of other posters is uncivil and makes DU suck. he's not even trying to couch it in terms of discussion of an issue. It's a direct call out of another poster complete with a link.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Fri May 29, 2015, 12:42 AM, and the Jury voted 2-5 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE

Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: I don't think the alerter knows what a "call out" is. I think we are getting a little alert crazy here.
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Just too crass.
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: We are all adults on here. Leave the post alone!
Juror #7 voted to HIDE IT
Explanation: Silliest post I have seen in quite a while. Even from Bonobo.
