Chevy Chase - New List-Serv

[Anonymous]

I am the person behind THE Chevy Chase Google Group.

the OTHER moderator banned me b/c she said my signature would not go thru. So I told her to edit it out as she had done other posts of mine.
She then said if I don't sign my posts w/o a signature, as she wants, then she will remove me.
(then I called her out for changing her story / reason and lying)

I have had DOZENS of people share stories since last week. Banning a local Liberian for using ALL CASP in reference to reading books.

Here is my one from today:
When she ruined a post about "March for Our Lives" (anti-gun violence) by calling it "March for Life" (the annual pro-life march), but then she refused to post the correction because SHE had made the error. When I asked her repeatedly to please post a follow-up to clarify the mistake, she responded: " Catherine, it was my mistake, not [original poster's]. I don't want to see her get the blame. I haven't seen this mistake any other time on the list so I will make an effort not to let it happen again. Thanks, Mary Rowse, Moderator." Right. So post the correction! She never did. [u]


I am not checking or approving every message. As adults, we can agree to disagree on topics. I will step in if people bully or are inappropriate. Moderating from a far.

ALSO, I sent a 2 question survey:
Would you want a minimally moderated, real time TRUE community list serv?
88.33% of the people said Yes


Are you pleased with the speed and function of the current CC Community Listserv?
79.31% of the people said No

Interested in joining ?

I am so glad you started a separate group. I was kicked off of the CCDC list serv by the moderator when I complained about a racially insensitive posting that basically amounted to racial profiling. So, the moderator blocked me from future posting and seeing the posts, which I reported to the ward 3 councilmember. But, I think he wanted to stay in the good graces of the moderator since she posts notices about anc meetings, I received no reply. She is tyrant. I sure hope someone sends her this thread.

Did this alternate group ever get off the ground? The link goes nowhere. If there is a new "io" group, do you mind posting it? Thanks.

Anyone?

Posting sadly has been pretty light in comparison to the one run by the nutter.

The moderator of the existing Chevy Chase listserve is a total loon and would be more at home in the Soviet Union than in Chevy Chase DC.

This is exactly the case also with the “Cleveland Park” list serv (quotes because it is essentially a NW DC list serv, as only a minority of users live in Cleveland Pk). The moderator spikes messages or twists arcane rules to avoid posting a point of view with which she disagrees. As a result, most serious discussion of local issues stopped several years ago. But if you’re cleaning out your basement and want to give away some old stuff, the list serv is useful.

COVID has brought out some truly crazy stuff on the CC list-serv. Let’s get the Google Groups version more popular so there’s a viable replacement. And enjoy this gem (OMG - hilarious. And sad) https://twitter.com/Best_ChevyChase

I don't understand why adults can't participate in unmoderated discussion.

There is plenty of good material to be had on that listserv, but you're not pulling it off with your creation, if you are "Best of Chevy Chase" yourself, PP. Pretty crap job of pointing out the flaws of listserv members when you are so embarrassingly flawed yourself. Way too much cackling and not enough insight. You sound like just another run of the mill a-hole. Too bad. I was wholly ready to embrace your creation and dig in for a good read. No thanks.

I also notice you're publicly revealing the first names of people on a closed listserv while remaining anonymous yourself. What a coward.

How can we find out who the author of "Best of Chevy Chase (DC) Listserv" is? I'd like to know your name -- at least your first name. I think that's only fair.

Anyone know how to find out who is responsible for a twitter account? I really want to know, and I'm going to find out.

If you do, let us know. I'd like to send the person a gift. A bottle of wine or maybe venmo some cash? Yes, could be funnier, but I thought it was pretty decent given the insanity that it mocks.

I don't. I actually came on here to check out the alternative, but I'm really disgusted by that Twitter account. I'm so tired of mean people, pointing and laughing and trying to get others to join in, like school yard bullies. Gross. I'll stick with the crazy moderator.
