Another day, another drama

The nameless, faceless drama on CL continues. A while back, it was over someone thanking people for helping during an emergency. This time, its nastiness being posted over another person asking for help.

I grant you, the local Craigslist is not really the place for these discussions, but it happens as it serves as a community bulletin board of a sort.

Most people are now afraid to post contact information, never mind their names if they are smart. I have heard all sorts of stories about threats, slams, and attacks being made via CL postings using the CL remailer-no wonder folks stay away. Over the past two years, things have really gone downhill on CL, which is why AlaskasList was created and flourishes.

I hope the person needing help, finds what they are looking for despite the responses. It's just unfortunate that they chose CL to go looking for it :(
