I had a few doctors apts today and a migraine that just wouldn't stop, so I'm going to assume this serves as our Weds Green Room? =) I was just coming to post an evening edition, but I'm glad it got there! I'm going to be in the dentist for like... hours tomorrow (*booooface*), so I'd be happy to Green Room us for Friday, if that'll help, hon!
Sorry to hear about all the crappy stuff that's been going on here. Even sorrier, of course, about the poverty, politics, and fear other people are facing. It's tragic. =(
Just seeing this now. I hope the doctor/ dentist appointments are all for relatively minor things! You’ve been doing great with the Green Rooms and I’d love if you could continue them starting again Friday (since you are busy today). I just felt it necessary to address the current situation and let people know there was a backup plan.
I've been told that it is morally indefensible to stay. I've also been told that it would be a bad thing (they didn't say "morally indefensible" but they did indicate that it wouldn't be "the right thing") to leave and abandon the platform and give it up entirely to those trolls and propaganda accounts that have been popping up over the last few weeks.
Honestly, hon, I didn't ask. I'm pretty sure both would say that you gotta do what you feel is the right thing, you know? That's the really bad thing when you're working with a company that wants to move its services to another so they can "take advantage of that country's laws." That's never for the betterment of the people.
I know what I am! I'm a pirate. I've done things I certainly can't share in the open, so my moral compass is a little wobbly, anyway. But -- for me -- there's one thing in sticking it to the man, and there's quite another in raping and pillaging.
All's I'm saying is that I'm not sure I'd trust our compasses when making such a heavy decision (and I'll defend us a little here, by specifying that the stuff we've done has been for at least one of three reasons: to learn, to protect, or to inveigle the bad into the open), but if you want me to hit them up about it, I can!

Did they offer any advice about that angle?
