Perhaps you would suggest just how you would "communicate to everyone" the pertinent information. The fact pattern seems to be that two unidentified, unknown, anonymous women
may have seen a man in the women's locker room shower at the Lake Miona pool. Staff apparently immediately checked the area in question but could not locate any suspect or victim in the facility. When staff returned to further question the women who reported the alleged incident, they were gone. All appropriate notifications were made to management and police. To date, apparently no victim has been located by staff and no victim has emerged to validate the report. Given the facts as reported and the inferred rapid response by staff, you would have thought an "attack" victim would have been evident at the scene.
Should local TV have broadcast a warning based on this info?
Should the Daily Sun report the incident and warning based on this info and absent an identifiable victim and/or witness?
Should alert posters, based on this somewhat vague, unverified report, be posted at all mail stations?
I'm not being facetious, but I do not understand exactly what you mean when you seem to suggest fault for communicating the info to "everyone but residents".
While I support your right to express your opinion, I believe I am entitled to take exception to your characterization of my friends, neighbors and TOTV posters in your somewhat bombastic "wisecracks", to wit: "
Alas, this is not the first time this has happened on TOTV. If someone posts anything deemed "unflattering" about TV that person is immediately excoriated as an "enemy" of TV by the "safety patrol" on TOTV". (Annabelle
)"In my opinion, the "agenda" by some (not all) on this site is to protect their "investment" and/or their "fantasy." (Annabelle)
The issue here has nothing to do with "unflattering", "enemies", "agendas" or TOTV "safety patrols". It has everything to do with the search and need for credible public information to dismantle rumors that may cause undue alarm and/or anxiety. The case in question does highlight the positive impact TOTV has as a conduit and median for Villages related information. The selfless, stellar efforts of 784caroline, as well as many other contributors who take the initiative, the time to research and the concurrent effort to post important. accurate information, demonstrates that TOTV is a limited but effective tool for exposing damaging rumors and conveying accurate information to subscribers. From recent reports regarding subscription increases, that limited aspect is shrinking as more Villagers participate in the dialogue.
