You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Tue Dec 11, 2012, 03:00 PM, and the Jury voted 3-3 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #2 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #3 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: I said leave it alone because despite their being right wing hacks, it is not clear to me that linking to right wing hacks like this is a violation of standards. Why not just point out that they are right wing hacks as part of the debate?

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