B & I thread locked, but I had this to say . . .

I understand what you're saying.  But, by coincidence, I'm rereading 1984 right now.  In that depressingly prescient novel, people are "disappeared" on a regular basis.  When it happens, the citizens are not allowed to discuss it, or question it, in any way.  In fact, they must immediately start acting as if the disappeared person never even existed, so as not to even potentially question Big Brother's decision.  I disagree with the idea that the people who know Bill and Ivy, either as friends or acquaintances, must not make any public mention of what happened to them, because the state might conceivably use it against them in some way.  Or that discussion that has already taken place should be "tossed down the memory hole".

I don't even know who this TresJay person is.

How I'm dealing with the thread over on NH Tea Party.

Remember that's a closed forum and not accessible to certain people. So I have no idea what you're talking about, for instance.

Yup. Sandy has an account. You don't, but that's not my doing...

Yep, and I have no intention of logging back in. If there's something somebody wants me to know, they can just tell me tomorrow.

Ivy also posted a response to all of this over on that forum. If you have an account there, please take the time to read it, especially people who want to speculate and gossip.
