    I hope you don't mind but I quoted the first post on face book. I removed all idenfifters and just said it was quoted. ( including raypublisher's name and your name- it has no identifers at all but retains quote marks and I clearly said it is quoted.

    I have never seen this wirtten out so well and I thought it was worth sharing.

    Thank you. I don't mind at all. Lately, I’ve been distressed over my decline of writing ability which has taken a hit over the last two years. The older I get, the more I feel like the character in Flowers for Algernon.

    Since we are all using psuedonyms, I doubt it would need to be anonymized.

    Lets not forget "Public Reproof" where an announcement is read from the platform: "The matter concerning So and So has been handled and he/she has shown repentance." How mortifying is that for a person? Usually the "friends" don't socialize with that one for a while. That's why in the old days they called it "Probation" and those poor souls were given a VERY wide berth.

    In particular, in the next few weeks if a local needs talk is given, everyone usually can figure out who did what. And then there are the instances where a reproof is given one week for one person, and a marking talk is given for another, and people think they know what the person who was reproved did.
