I assume the group has a caveat or rule to not post such things?
Nope. Here's what HOA Prez posted in the thread...definitely used ChatGPT (
and it's 100% TL;DR)
I’d like to take a moment to address some concerns and clarify a few things about the private group’s purpose I started and how we should navigate different perspectives.
In the recent past, I was approached—yes, even yelled at in a parking lot—by someone in the private group who felt I should censor certain posts by others in this private group of a political nature. Let me reiterate what I’ve said before: we are adults. My role as an admin for this private group is not to police opinions or dictate what you can and cannot share, as long as posts adhere to the law and our group rules.
This is a space where everyone is welcome to express themselves. If you want to share a political meme, celebrate an election result, or post something that reflects your political views, that is entirely your right. Some will agree, and others may not—that’s the nature of free expression in a diverse community such as ours.
That said, humor is important for all of us. Life can be stressful, and sometimes a funny meme or lighthearted post can provide the laugh we all need. Let’s try not to take everything to heart or let differing opinions ruin the sense of community we’ve built here. A little humor and perspective go a long way!
I also ask that everyone keep the group rules in mind:
1. Be Kind and Courteous: Healthy debates are natural, but kindness is required. Personal attacks and unkindness won’t be tolerated.
2. Respect Everyone’s Privacy: What’s shared in this group should stay in this group.
3. No Hate Speech or Bullying: Bullying of any kind isn’t allowed. Degrading comments about race, religion, culture, sexual orientation, gender, or identity will not be tolerated.
4. No Excessive Promotions or Spam: Give more than you take. Members may post one business-related advertisement per day.
5. Discussion Posts or Member Removal: Admins reserve the right to remove posts and members as necessary to maintain harmony.
6. Private Group Rules: Rules may be updated by admins without prior notice.
We can disagree without being disrespectful, and we can engage in discussions without turning to personal attacks or accusations. This group is here to bring us together as a community, not tear us apart.
If anyone has questions or concerns about what’s appropriate to post or how to engage with others, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
Thank you all for being part of this group and helping us maintain a space where everyone feels welcome, respected, and maybe even entertained with a good laugh now and then.
