Dear LincolnTalk Neighbors, Let us remember that we are neighbors. Let us remember to be neighborly.
And let me tell you the moderator's motivation for LincolnTalk - which will help you understand our goals and perspectives and which may inform your actions moving forward. Imagine a public bulletin board. Maybe you see this outside Town Office, maybe you see this down outside Donelan's. You get the idea... it's a community bulletin board where people can post things for sale, lost items, services offered, etc. Now picture a public square where people can bring boxes (ie soapboxes) to stand on. Those within hearing will hear, those who are interested will stop, those with opposing views can offer responses. *LINCOLNTALK IS INTENDED AS A COMMUNITY BULLETIN BOARD. That was and is our motivation. We tolerate soapbox moments as a community service. This continues to be violated...* Back and forth. Back and forth. This side, that side. You haven't heard my voice yet. I need to have the last word. ENOUGH! We are exhausted having to remind people of this every single time a new topic or discussion comes up. Richard Pannetta has kindly offered a platform for continued and in depth political discourse. HIs motivation is soapbox... do not post your lost cat there (unless your cat votes differently than you and you suspect that's why it ran away). Richard, will you please post that link again? Specifically to this moment... STOP POSTING ABOUT BEMIS. Right now. Enough is enough. If there are continued posts, we will put everyone on moderation. When the moderators have a free moment during the day, that's when posts will be cleared - we have extremely busy lives and will take care of this when we can. Yours, Margit (for the Moderators)
