The Washington Snitch List – Inslee’s Informant Herd

Well, I was referring to what you said last week, where you didn't appear to like the court of public opinion if it didn't favor you.

But yes, customer-driven market forces are what needs to happen here, and as long as the playing field is level, I don't think anyone really has a problem with that.

Unfortunately, small rural communities such as ours will likely not be able to support two otherwise identical shops catering to different types of customers, so it might be that one group or the other finds itself without a local option and has to buy elsewhere.

mmiller: Oh? Let's see how that might sound from someone on the other side:

"If an [individual] doesn't give a rat's ass about me and my [safety/livelihood/life's work], or about allowing the community to function as close to normal as possible, they need to be hauled before the court of public opinion."

Wow, that seems it is exactly how this particular topic here can be viewed.

So why are you apparently against those listed in the article above being "hauled before the court of public opinion", as you put it? But fine with doing so to those you don't agree with?

mmiller: hmm, well in a sense, I agree with you. And further, I have a solution to the problem.

These lists are being created, encouraged, and promoted by the governor and his office. It needs to be stopped there, at the source.
