This is another follow up post to the talks about "Abuse in Camelot and Other Small Towns..." a few days ago. When I copy and repost from FB some letters get cut off.. My apologies, but hope the message is still clear..

I would encourage people to think twice about sharing too much online and trusting it will be received as one intends with no legal

repercussions. We have free speech yes, but then there are 'libel suits' and something called 'vexatious litigation' which means there is not enough evidence or thereabouts...

In case someone wants to clarify concerns, I'd listen. The overall courage of people to discuss things is not common..and since some had a strong opinion ..what were some things you find inappropriate or concerning.

The victims and their families and so on (maybe for generations, etc) can be targeted...Should they be?

Of course not, but it's more common than not.

Whose Game to Go "Off Topic" in a Comments Section or In a Post? That'd be ME and hopefully You 2 (or U2) even if once in a while...

I know some little fellas who liked to jump on the bed...But it wasn't allowed for the most part..only "Once In A While." Same for the request for cookies (maybe Before Dinner...) Absotootley Not..usually, #OOIAW (Only Once In A While.) If we're talking about dangerous stuff, say drunk driving or cliff jumping for minors or others who do not have the skill and permission from legal guadians...well, there really shouldn't be a #OOIAW unless not doing so would be worse..say being caught in a fire zone or chased by a bear with no options.

Bragging About the Berkshire Co-Op since some are not sure about the new parking..It's fine and dandy!

There's a contest to win over 900 bucks of groceries from Sunflower Health Foods in Rhinebeck I think...and you can enter to win right thar at the handy dandy Co-Op. Maybe have your next mini meeting (or post or pre meeting gathering there with some of their nice fare.) Check out more on WKZE 981kze.com

We even had a 95th Birthday Party for the now late artist (as of January 2018..so 99 years of livin' and often enjoying the Co-op) there with our Southern Berkshire Toastmasters Group (another Best Kept Secret...so be choosy when you bring a friend and visit at their lively, respectful meetings

Tricky 'stage craft' can convince us real strange things to create conflict...but worth learning about soon

Stranger tales you likely haven't heard but no reason not to give a serious listen. These are important theories..and let's see what unfolds with our increased awareness. Check out Steven Greer's talk on https://youtu.be/8L6_Vq4MJr4 Watch out for a False Flag Event...and not be fooled again!
