My kid has an IEP for hitting etc. He has a social/emotional delay. He's in counseling, has a good home life etc. So let's leave the home life speculation out of it.
He started having issues in his class with hitting another kid who was having other issues in respecting boundaries. He ended up in the principal's office before I was notified. At which point I kindly reminded everyone involved of his IEP and that I need to be notified sooner rather than later so that I can deal with it at home and his counselor as well.
So... as a parent I'd get more involved with what was happening. Ask for more communication and updates. Ask how the situation will be handled in the future. I wouldn't burn it down, but I'd definitely be more persistent in communication and next steps.
And the more credible side, therefore, is a literal terrorist group.
At the end of the day, though, I don’t even think anyone cares about receipts. No minds will be changed. I’m terrified that this could lead to other Arab countries getting involved (as CNN pundits were speculating), which will then the lead to the U.S. being even more involved.
The digital spokesperson for the IDF tweeted that Israel was behind that rocket. And then deleted it.
Palestinians are a credible source. They are not terrorists.
Was it the real IDF account or one that is pretending to be real?
It's really weird onboarding as one of the few in person office people in an office that is mostly remote. Compounding the weirdness, they just passed their last large deadline so most people are out on vacation. So this morning I'm sitting in an empty office space with nothing to do, no one to contact about what to do, and bored out of my mind. I can't play around on my work laptop because security is so tight.
Congratulations if this is the first time you have found this board inflexible on something that you disagree with. I promise you - doubling down will not change the new board norm. It will just lead to you being more frustrated.
I’m not even being snarky. That’s the explanation - we don’t use Twitter…except when we do. Ok, I guess.
But I am comfortable doubling down on censorship being bad.
As to this, again, we've always insisted on credible sources. Twitter is no longer credible. We're formalizing a board norm like not using Fox news, blogs, or holistic medicine websites. Unless you think we should also allow those without comment or censure?
So seeing as how most feel Twitter should not be allowed. What does this look like? I knowing it was asked prior but I’m not seeing where it has been explained. Or maybe I missed it, but guidelines would be appropriate no?
Is it just a a quick “hey don’t forget to verify your source”, or a delete with no heads up?
For quick reference - the only delete without heads up I do is @ mentions in the non-@ randoms thread (which we don't have regularly anymore).
Other edits I do to posts without notification are adding @ to posts that aren't in @ threads.
Most of the other board norms are enforced by highly effective peer pressure.
My next course of action was going to ask how we wanted to enforce this, lol! If we're all assuming I'm going supreme dictator, then that's what I'll do. (AKA, wtf people.)
Also, we have ALWAYS come down hard on non-verified websites being used. This isn't new. It's happened in both Israel/Palestine threads. This just gives us more leverage to say, "We voted, and decided that twitter/x is unverifiable. Provide a credible source."
I support your villain turn if it's finally time. INCREDIBLE COSMIC POWERS.

I think what you’re missing is that you want to have an intellectual conversation (debate? argument?) about something that is deeply emotional for some of us. I, for one, am not in a place for that, and I imagine others are feeling a similar way, so when you come in hot like you did here, you can’t be surprised that people aren’t willing to engage right now.
I don’t want to have an anything. I’m just making posts. I don’t care if no one engages with me? I’m not shouting or telling everyone they must listen to me or converse with me.
But I care if I’m told I shouldn’t be making the posts I have done, or that they are not ok to make and that im being an insensitive troll. I’m not surprised is no one wants to engage, I’m surprised I’m not allowed to post what I want.
Unsure who you think is restricting you. As with most things, there's always consequences to what you (general) post. Also, per a previous comment, your initial posts did not read as respectful.
Having also been a maid during various times of my life - anywhere in the bathroom is fine. Hanging up, on the floor, in the tub, doesn't really matter.
What always got me was people leaving wet towels on the bed.
