But not surprising given the people she is calling out.

All it means is she can’t see posts from one particular person. That person is perfectly free to engage with everyone else, but she is not entitled to have the attention of that one person. Maybe she should consider, though, why this person felt the need to block her in particular.

But if that fragile flower starts an active thread about a topic she’s interested in she won’t see it.

Either engage in the group or don’t. Don’t be a twot.

It's pretty obvious to me that someone blocked her because they did not want her to comment on their posts. That seems wrong to me.

I've never blocked anyone but apparently some have blocked me because I can't see all the comments either. I didn't realize why until today. I had no idea that others could control what I see. Now I'm annoyed.

Yup. She called APE out so they found a way to shut her down.

Yes. I agree. It’s basically a “public” forum. You can’t silence another parent at a school board meeting. No matter how much they yell and throw a fit.

If someone is out of line the moderator should handle it.

If you are too fragile to handle other opinions don’t post.

CF is a sanctimonious twat. Blocking her would make AEM more useful. Dont blame whoever did it all. Now why did CF turn this into a APE rant. She has an agenda and wants to paint them as extremist and drum up some conspiracy bs.

+1. I'm just enjoying this whole thing, both on AEM and DCUM.

My personal fave: APE saying it's not "coordinated," it's just our Board members doing it individually. Why didn't you just come talk to us about it?

Thanks for getting me through another boring Covid weekend, folks.

So? Don’t read her posts if you don’t like them. .

BUT if you want to start a thread in that group it shouldn’t only be for a subset of the group.

But this isn’t silencing someone. It’s just walking out of the room when she’s talking so you don’t have to hear her. She’s still free to share every thought she’s ever had on FB with everybody else.

It is standing up in front of the room to speak but putting headphones on a subgroup so they can’t hear or participate.

^ silence wasn’t the correct verb. You can’t exclude a subgroup of parents from hearing the discussion.

So, join a group and you’re morally obligated to unblock anyone you’ve ever blocked because they might join and want to hear what you have to say in that group?

Do people really block all that many people? I didn’t realize so many people were that fragile.

I didn't realize it either. I've only blocked one person who was physically threatening toward me, but I've been blocked by a few people who just don't like me. Oh well.
