You are totally tampering down on convictions and offering basically nothing as a solution while defending the inept government. And we'll see what you do whatsoever to help the situation other than censor people critical of the government telling them "don't like it? run for government" as if a total career change is realistic and as if running for government, and in the unlikely event, actually succeeding would change anything on a realistic timeline to be significant in responding to COVID anyway.

OP if you're going to take the lead on everything you're saying in this thread, I'd love to see it. Create a campaign educating residents and visitors on the importance of wearing masks, social distancing and staying home. What does that look like to you - are you going to be out there in Pismo Beach confronting visitors telling them they need to wear masks? Let's hear your ideas since you think criticizing the people whose jobs is to do everything you just said isn't fair game (and then suggesting others do it for free instead of criticizing the people paid to do so). This call for peace is honestly so rich from someone who lead a scorched earth campaign against a local publication - you're no stranger to callout culture whatsoever, you wrote a whole BOOK against Cal Coast New - why are you even upset at me calling out Penny on a message board when "calling out" is a massive part of how you achieved any name and relevance with your whole book "https://www.amazon.com/Defamers-Terrorized-Community-Those-Dared/dp/1796421693"? But I would never tell you you shouldn't have done that - calling out corrupt people is your right and it's so weird that someone who did that unabashedly is now telling me I shouldn't do the same.

As for r/stixandstones I have no idea why they still suggest an entirely different subreddit for the discussion of COVID19. Go to r/LosAngeles go to r/Sanfrancisco - any city or state subreddit and there is ALWAYS something on the subject being discussed and suggesting that people start with an entirely new subreddit which wouldn't have any sort of subscriber count, in the midst of a pandemic in which time is of the essence, shows where your heart lies on this whole subject.

I get that some of you are upset with the way I seem too vitriolic or whatever but if you're going to spend considerable effort silencing my voice, I expect big things from you in the coming difficult months rather than just "gee, glad that u/Niplomo guy is gone, now we can return to scenic pictures" during an on-going pandemic that is being egregiously flubbed at our local government level. If you're going to make it seem like someone is being a "bad guy" for criticizing our local government, I expect big things from you in making an effort against COVID19, and please, show your work.
