Dear Turq, I ain't muck raking and I certainly ain't making this stuff up neither. It just happens to be journalism reporting.
Well, you see there was a big entertainment event last nite on the Fairfield square where lots of community folks turned out. This town is a very fun crossing of folks. Townies and rus. In the community here I know folks bridging back four decades. Old friends. Lots in the crowd I've known for decades. One old R&B guy playing bass in the last set last nite on the square is of a group of some of my oldest friends here, Iowans who started TM back in Iowa City together back when. Well, you see in checking up with and interviewing the people I ran across, this account of the "facebook dome bannings" came out. The people who told it in mixed company with-held the names involved but if pressed they could give them as the people involved were known to them. I didn't need the names to know so I left it. Apparently it was two people who were banned from the domes from their Facebook comments. The account was quite credible enough. The TM-taliban evidently is tightening things up again the way they see things. That is noteworthy. -Buck in FF --- In [email protected], "authfriend" <jstein@...> wrote: > > --- In [email protected], turquoiseb <no_reply@> wrote: > > > > --- In [email protected], "Buck" <dhamiltony2k5@> wrote: > > > > > > More recently they've taken to mining Facebook pages of > > > people on the Course, looking at the "Most Admired" lists > > > and then taking badges away by following up on that. > > > > To be perfectly honest, "Buck," I have come to take > > the things you say with more than a grain of salt.
