Update on "Maria"

I guess one of the benefits and pitfalls when residents post to ND and they post to all neighborhoods is the peanut gallery always chimes in.

WELL, Someone put Maria on BLAST.... They pointed out how their comments were highly inflammatory and teetering on defamation and slander.
They also pointed out that their accusations can land them in boiling water. They even went as far to tell them if they made the complaint to the
Ombudsman office that the is noting for the Ombudsman to investigate.

Maria apparently tucked in their tail deleted all the comments and deleted their account POOF they're gone.

Glad it worked out.

I figured this would happen sooner or later - people think they can yap and yap with no consequences whatsoever (I gotta right to free speech!) Yes, you do, but you also have to take responsibility for what you say, as my dad used to say "don't let your mouth write a check that your ass can't cash."

Without naming names, the board could use this as a teachable moment by telling homeowners they're always welcome to ask the board about association issues, offer comments, criticisms and - offer to help the board do research or participate on an advisory committee commissioned to address them. That makes more sense then just getting mad and then catching a case of diarrhea of the mouth.
