That makes sense. Thanks, Jeff. Wasn't flagging for deletion or anything, just wondering if it's a lot of the same people over and over. Sounds like it may be the case! But obviously I do realize any thread could be that way.

Assuming ACPS is Alexandria Public Schools, it does appear to be the same cast of characters. The main one that concerns me is the troll who lives in Del Ray whose posts I try to remove regardless of what they say. That poster is a blatant racist and his main contribution in the Alexandria schools threads is to blame problems on minorities. Outside of him, there are posters that post a lot, but I don't consider to be problematic. One poster appears to be listening to a scanner 24/7. That seems odd to me, but nothing with which I have a problem.

I'm curious--are they often the same people writing the same messages over and over again whenever ACPS is mentioned? It always seems like the same exact things are said. I'm not an ACPS apologist--I have children in the system and share similar concerns. But I've noticed curious similarities and wonder how much it is an echo chamber (though obviously same could be said for any thread).
