9 In response to a concern about this matter from Southern Marches Area
|
|
|
10 Meeting, MfS had asked for input from Area Meetings, which was patchy
|
|
|
11 and equivocal: not so much that this was a problem, and one that
|
|
|
12 concerns us, but more that we have neither the capacity nor the
|
|
|
13 insight necessary to intervene as a Society. A very useful list of
|
|
|
14 organisations who _are_ active in relevant ways was included as an
|
|
|
15 appendix to the item.

|
|

|
20 Finding the courage to challenge lies is hard enough to do in person,
|
|
|
21 it's even harder to do on social media, where the response may well be
|
|
|
22 both many-fold and obnoxious.
