46. That's good advice, and I agree with much of it

But several posters here who have been through several days' worth of reading (or perhaps less) have been able to see that some people like to come here just when there is advantage -- or possibly just delicious DRAMA , yum, yum -- to be gained from their intermittent participation.

There is the strong likelihood that our ultra-shy host Neoma is being manipulated and used by -- well, I don't know who. But if she shared what she very well knew was private, privileged materials with others, and some of those who received her information (tho not from her directly, they insist) have volunteered that as fact -- then she is clearly serving as someone's or some group's "informant" and pawn.

Is it REALLY a good idea to put those who may be part of this on ignore?? Is it a smart to believe they "share our goals and hopes for the future?"

And surely you realize that there are many, many posts that get made in such a situation that would never be hidden, so alerting is pointless. In fact, you're probably aware that jurors are now admonishing alerters for alerting! Further, in this type of situation, if you don't know something about the whole story, you don't know squat, and the juries aren't designed for that either, so it's pointless to alert.

Nor am I willing to let lies and mischaracterizations or mere misunderstandings stand. And there's a load of them out there.

Finally, it would be of interest to start noticing who exactly is doing the fanning.

Now, if you'd like more info, I have a boatload of links I could share.
