1. Yeah, it's not good.

[oxymoron]

2. I've alerted it several times

I'm very concerned that it has been up all day. Wtf?

[oxymoron]

5. Thanks for the back up. nt

[Skittles]

3. I believe you are correct, and withdrew my rec and comment

thank you

[oxymoron]

4. Thanks!

Should I alert it again?

[surfered]

6. IMO: I didn't see it as grouping LGBT with pedophilia. I saw it as grouping MAGA / Epstein with pedophilia

[oxymoron]

8. I still think it is a net negative.

Thank you for responding. I just don't know why we would open up that discussion.

17. I'm a gay man

And I agree with you. I don’t see this as grouping us with pedophiles- quite the opposite.

[surfered]

18. As in all things, the eye of the beholder, and we each see things differently.

7. I saw it as the Pride flag and trans flag were not acceptable but TSF's flag was just fine according to MAGA

Not being from the Gay community, I didn’t take it as offensive but if it is, it’s definitely your right to have it alerted. Maybe its purpose was to generate discussion, if so, it worked. Just my opinions..

9. Hey, thanks Deuxcents

I appreciate you responding. Could be. I speak with many voters, and I hear people equating it every day. Thank you for your support!

10. Not good at all.

Offensive.

It's a bad "One of these things is not like the other..." originating from a bad place, even if its creator was simply naive and unaware of their own prejudices.

It's also possible the creator isn't naive and is playing mind games.

[oxymoron]

12. Totally agree

I've alerted it, but the mods left it up. I'm shocked.

11. The first time I looked at it, I chuckled and moved on. 2nd look, I see your point.

Then I get to where I disagree with you if I understand you correctly. You alerted on the post several times?


I believe, one "alert" on a post is enough. If the jury disagrees with you, move on. And from the evidence, several juries have disagreed with you.

[oxymoron]

13. Actually, I thought my browser was blocking me.

I alerted it several times with 5 mins or so. That's it.

[oxymoron]

14. It's been a long time since I was a mod.

I'm not sure how it's changed. It went to several juries in 5 mins? Wtf

[3Hotdogs]

15. Otay.

'nuff said.

[NNadir]

16. I thought it amusing and pointed to hypocrisy. However, I'm not...

...gay and now that you mention it, I could see how it could be taken differently.

I saw it as contrasting respectable flags with a flag not worthy of respect.

Of i were on a jury, "I'd probably vote "doesn't quite break the rule."

I do understand I might be in error.
