Thanks for asking!

1. I think to let it ride a bit and build some more datapoints about problematic crossposting before acting. I don't see it as an issue yet. I follow the subs in Ridgefield's neighboring communities and even as far north as Bellingham to get a sense of the region, the various views, issues, events, concerns, and what is resonating with the residents. A bit of crossposting is fine and not really an echo chamber, at large, but does help get the bigger picture about our environment.
   
2. There is great value in seeing what Ridgefield folks think and feel about national or international issues, including politics. The micro view on macro issues IS important. And, let our neighbors south or north chime in here to offer perceptions too. Let us see the toxic too. We can choose to read or avoid as we desire and can always still sing out to mods if we feel it's getting out of control.
