Report Inappropriate Comments

The Leader has suddenly changed format regarding comments. It seems Marge Samuelson is now absolutely anonymous. I think the comment with no tag "She had not been vaccinated? Why was she working?" sounds like Marge and matches the removal of any tag or name on all her comments going back years that now have no tag at all. As always I stand to be corrected.

Others such as myself, Harvey W have had their tags changed. I was blocked and unable to point this out when it first appeared in the "Hundreds leave WSF State Patrol and other agencies as vaccination mandates take effect" story. I don't know until I hit send now if I am still unable to bring this to the attention of all. I know many will not see a problem. That is the problem. In issues local and national that cannot be openly discussed.

I am now, decided by the Leader, to be forestgems19, in all past comments. I think that is or was a p***word. Justin Hale was briefly loudonna80 then changed back to Justin Hale. Some who commented anonymously such as myself on a very few occasions, are now outed by the Leader. No shame here, but a betrayal of trust has happened for those wishing to be anonymous. Our friend Tom Camfield is still Tom Camfield. No change, no consistency in changes. An announced change and consistent change in advance might have been less of a blind side to many. And not raised questions for those who question.

Dcc and ****her commenting here are anonymous and new to me. Did new commenters get to choose handles, will they be outed in the future by the Leader? Could they be an organized effort to cheer on what is happening? What prevents the Leader from in house anonymous comments? There are obviously different levels of trust for the Leader, and "facts" presented by the Leader. These are the times we live in. Some lay down. Some stand up.

Harvey W is now forestgems19. Forest Gems is my business. No secrets, but a change that obscures Harvey W's comments. I stand by the body of work over the years I put time and thought into. Open government and free press are the consistent subject. The leader has censored many times, entire online articles and letters to editor. If you don't see a problem, that is the problem.
