No, there is nothing in twitter that forces them to use their name and nothing on list serve agreement that prohibits them from publishing any communication. If the senders don’t like their communication on twitter then they shouldn’t be sending it to 1000 or strangers (even neighbors) on the internet. So think before hitting that send button.

We're talking about normal standards of decency, not what someone can legally get away with. Whoever started that twitter account obviously has as many mental and emotional (and character...) issues as the people he's trying to ridicule. At least they're willing to post their opinions with their names attached to them.

I think the site is quite humorous. Because it's real and just a small snapshot of what actually happens across all the various CC neighborhoods.

Odd one could say the poster has mental/emotional issues. Perhaps it hits too close to home?

CC is full of 70-80+ people who have decided their end life goal is to complain about everything. Not that every house has such people, just there are a few on every block and all they do is post complaints, go to meetings to complain, and actually yell at people for doing whatever one does in the suburbs. I have no scientific idea why this non-stop complaining seems to correlate to age, but there appears to be a relationship. When you see a number of specific names coming through on an email from the listserv, you just know it's going to be a rambling complaint.

Pp, what you are talking about is an email or letter between friends or colleagues - a personal or private communication and the sender would expect the receiver to maintain some form of decency not to publish it - though that happens. A list serve is not a private or personal communication medium. It’s same like printing a flyer and distributing it to those same neighbors. That’s the expectation of privacy that I have for a medium like list serve or this discussion board. Once you hit send, you put it in the public domain.

No, you have to join the listserv. It is not public.

I am imagining the twitter OP walking around smiling and waiving with his neighbors and all the while cackling on the inside because of some infrerior post they've made to the listserv, that he/she will be uploading to twitter. Gross.

I'm also imagining when they are outed, and wave to their neighbors and get zero response in return. Shut out completely. Which is what someone like that deserves. It is a community listserv. No community needs people like the twitter OP in it.

Today, someone just compared Do the Right Thing and Gone with the Wind as both objectionable - as the first had negative stereotypes of white people and GWTW of black people. Omg!!

Why not a Facebook group?

There is. It's called Chevy Chase Chatter.

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.

Fair enough. I agree the twitter account is mean spirited. And these folks who complain about kids riding bikes etc may seem like cranks but they seem cute to me like a grandma or something. No need to shame them.

Yeah, cute grandma until they say something nasty to your child Or they band together to block a sidewalk on your street where your kid could ride safely.

And don’t even ask about dog parks.

Agree -- but that doesn't justify trying to humiliate people publicly while remaining anonymous. Speak up -- it's a listserv. That's what it's for. That twitter account holder is nothing but a weakling with bad character.

I hadn’t realized they did that.

The 'alternative' list-serv is an actual list-serv, just not moderated. https://groups.google.com/forum/?utm_source=digest...m/the-chevy-chase-google-group Someone posted about the Twitter account there, but it's (probably?) not related.
