One homophobic and one transphobic alert, both allowed to stand, thanks to the wonder that is DU now [View all]

several du members, said there was nothing homophobic about it, although if you put it in google, here is one of the first things that comes up

apparently juror took the time to look up the posters history but not the history of the actual words.
Juror #1 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: "Limp-wristed" also means ineffectual. There's no indication, in this post or this DUer's history, that it was meant as a slur.
2. This comment in reponse to Caitlyn Jenner 'Got a dong? Then you're a dude! Sorry if I'm being old-fashioned'
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: Post is inappropriate but not really an attack but an opinion, a very wrong one but people are allowed to have that. Skirts the line though. It would be better to leave it and converse with the poster as to why it is wrong, no ill intent seemed so maybe some headway as to why it was wrong could be made rather that just censoring it. Hopefully.
Juror #7 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE
Explanation: no, he is being old fashioned, and pro-science
