It's generally made worse in primary and election season, and after high-profile and/or mass shootings.

IMO alerting on it shouldn't be anything like an organized campaign. That would be seen as trolling or worse.

Skinner's second response was clearly stated, he felt bigotry about the mentally ill was covered, even while leaving it up to jurors to deal with alerts.

So if DUers encounter insensitive language that is bigoted toward persons with mental illness, they should feel they can alert on it and make choice in the alert that best name the problem.
