Very brave to post this in AA where any serious rebuttal will get pounded. BillZBubb Aug 2015 #1

A person outside a protected group shouldn't be able to alert on a member's post. pnwmom Aug 2015 #72
Why would anyone bother stalking/alerting in safe havens? Don't like the group? Trash it. That's Tarheel_Dem Aug 2015 #87
