[quote=Anonymous]Hi Jeff, I'm increasingly struggling with the volume of posts that say don't get delivery or take out for a few weeks. Stop walking your dog.  Too many people are outside.  Those kids across the street stepped off their lawn onto the street and I'm going to report them.  Stay home stay home stay home.  You're an idiot for not stocking up in January.  How do I call in a business I think is operating against the governor/mayor's orders?  The stay at home means you can't exercise!  Etc etc etc all day long.

Here's the one that finally sent me over:  https://communityshare.mitre.org/sites/Contracts/Lists/COVIDDirections/DispForm.aspx?ID=112&Source=https%3A%2F%2Fcommunityshare%2Emitre%2Eorg%2Fsites%2FContracts%2FLists%2FCOVIDDirections%2FALL%2Easpx%23InplviewHash76dc895f%2De2c3%2D464f%2Da23f%2D2e9ee2368863%3DSortField%253DDate%2DSortDir%253DDesc&ContentTypeId=0x0100CCB7D62D3E076842A2AA6F8286AB5BB7

I know people are judgmental, and I know people need to seek some level of control in a situation that feels very much out of control.  And I've read the data on people needing to find fault in someone who suffers a tragedy (thus feeling like they are immune from suffering a similar tragedy).  But my god.  The fear mongering and just total harpy-like behavior is starting ot get to me.

How are you feeling about the general tone of DCUM?  In so many ways there's so much helpful info here.  DCUM is a trusted resource for me (partially because I know I have a good discerning eye and mostly just ignore ignorance).   Is there any point I reporting posts like above?  Or do you think they are ok?  I'm starting to think the general reasonable tone is slipping away into panic and low level hysteria.  [/quote]
