(154,021 posts)I was an eager participant.
I have seen it used over and over again for vendettas, some directed at me, so I am not a fan of it.
I have disqualified myself from the system, and except for ONE recent alert, a nasty personal attack that was let stand. I no longer trust the system.
So I do not jury duty, or alert for that matter. And yes, we do have cliques. It is worst than Hight School.
And some of us no longer post anything of significance here, that I wrote. I no longer post LOCAL news either, never mind other posters do, and some of them are covered by me.
Some things that I no longer post. We had a school strike, first since 1996. It was an unfair labor practices strike. In another era, that might have interested people here, but given I will be attacked by a band of merry brothers and sisters for the who wrote it, I did not.
We have E Cig issues tomorrow at the county board. I will not bother posting the story here when it runs. Mostly it is part of a national trend, but I do not live in the same country anymore, Magically my county moved somewhere else cause I live here.
We had one of the early stories on Draper's little plan to break California into six states. Hell, we considered the economic consequences for my county, well before HUffpost did such for the state.
We have had local coverage for the Fight for 15, never mind.
We already had our first fire of the season. No reason to post it here, mostly. I did post a couple photos in the California and Photo groups, because a few people might be interested. I took those near the fire zone as to how dry the ground cover is.
So you could say that this merry band of bullies has essentially silenced me, and I do not expect management to do a thing about it, they have yet to admit they have a real problem with cliques or cyber bullying. We have any news from my town, my county actually, people can look for it on CNN.
