Re: Policing.
In my opinion, there's a member here that might be regarded as a loud mouthed misogynistic
twit. Do I police that person? No, I scroll on by. There's a person here who time and time again, doesn't or can't read the room before posting, and manages to offend at least one person per post. Police or ignore? There's a person here that believes they are the height of wit, but whose jokes I find majestically flat and bland. Police, ignore or scroll past? There's one who, at the expense of other's intelligence, delights in correcting them. Police or ignore? There are people here who are so intelligent, I'm in awe and feel humbled by them even looking in my direction. But as intimidated as I sometimes can be by them, I stick around in the hopes of learning something, and have! There are yet others so cleverly funny that I hope to emulate them, and can't, because I'm not even in the same league. There's a couple of anothers who have slapped me into the ground so hard, I'm sure they thought I'd never get up again... ignore? Police? Scroll past their response? Actually no. It's been bloody funny, had me in hysterics and I respect them for even trying. I'm positive I've made it onto quite a few other people's ignore lists too. Their choice. I could be catty and say their loss as well, but so what? We can't all be liked. I too have tried policing others in the past but am trying to do better. But for all our faults and occasional missteps, we can remain united in one thing... our pure disgust at the behaviour of Stephanie, her obvious misappropriation of Patreon funds, her highly distasteful grifting, her monumental cockups (including her hitching herself to Philip), and her appalling lack of transparency. This is our focus and what binds us together. For everything else we can hit ignore or there's the choice of scrolling by.
You know who the infamous 15 Tattle members are? No-one and everyone. 15 is the average number of fellow members on some other Tattle member's ignore list (jk).
Freedom of choice is an excellent concept when there's actually 100's of us. Feel free to scroll on by.
