BOUNDARIES AGAINST PAINFUL SLANDER

The BBQ is such an enormous service to our community. Frankly, I don’t know how we would get along without it.

That said, I was painfully disturbed be a recent post in which a resident of Wheeler slandered specific members of our community amidst expressing concern about the troublesome presence of theft and drugs within the area.

My post here is an appeal that we self police ourselves in BBQ posts and restrain from serious, negative comments that identify specific people. Rarely is GOSSIP productive. Often it can be harmful and hurtful. Rarely is it a fully informed account. In regards to the post that upset me, I know two of the people mentioned; I was alarmed by the misrepresentation and lack of accuracy.
