Thanks, mermaid. No, I wasn't saying YOU were anonymous, wasn't even thinking about you, don't know your real name and not sure it matters to me - I was just saying that we can read names on FB and can recognize board members and ex-board members and what sides they're on.
The thng I said about board being told (not sure by who) that they are not supposed to comment or communicate on social media was posted by Ms. Blyth. You'd have to ask her what she meant. I took it to mean exactly what she said. There was a rather long discussion about it with people saying, What?? We want you to communicate with us! They are determined that all input from the public be made only at meetings. I argue that our input on social media is perfectly acceptable as input. If you have a hundred people on FB say they are pissed about road maintenance and only 20 people show up at meetings, those hundred peoples' opinions matter.
All communication betw. the board and the public should be open and honest and transparent.
