I understand you made a sub to discuss topics that interest you but you post duplicates or cross post things here which have been discussed here already and you are often a few days later, rehashing discussions that have already happened.

While not a bad thing in and of itself it seems like rather then engage, you a looking to drive a conversation or narrative rather then discuss an event. It seems topics and conversations like that with a blatantly political slant a better suited for the sub you created and less interesting here in a general context.

With that said, I agree that off duty leo need more controls on off duty hours.

Thanks for saying this. Echoing the polite request to Rama to please stop just reshashing previous posts. You’re not going to get the attention you want, but you will develop a reputation for being irritating. Then you’ll wonder why people troll your comments.

In the latest Commentary, written by OP, published in VTDigger on 1-27-23, he describes himself as a "tireless advocate for good things" in the by-line.

OP clearly likes to share news and opinions and stay relevant. https://vtdigger.org/tag/rama-schneider/

OP crossposts many news stories across a number of VT and New England subs. Most of the time it's just a link to the story, with the implication that redditors in that sub should take it and run with some kind of discussion. OP seems like more of a shit-stirrer. Not that I'm any better with my comments, but I don't crosspost stuff in the hopes of creating controversy or getting votes. And I don't re-post stuff that's already been posted 2 or 3 other times and has already been discussed. Please see my comment linked below about the types of people in VT. I think you'll notice where OP fits.

You're not going to be crossposting in rural regional subreddits if your goal is imaginary internet points. You're not going to be crossposting from a political-focused subreddit unless you're interested in discussing politics, which I guess could be fairly called shit-stirring.

Last VT Politics subreddit I knew, r/vermontpolitics, was run by powermods just making a run on state + politics subreddits.

Or perhaps if you're desperate to be relevant and be portrayed as knowledgeable, as a pillar of your community, and to have your fingers in all kinds of pies. See link to one of my previous comments above.

I am torn because i both agree and disagree with your points. I have engaged with this person on other platforms and without any doubt they absolutely have a political bias and agenda. I disagree with saying this stuff has no place here though. I have had more than a few points brought to my attention in .. charged conversations from posts like this far more often than i have in the ones that occur in the field and stream/***spam posts,lol.

Granted the opposing POV's i have encountered did F-all to change my mind but they did show me where many of my fellow Vermonters stand on issues. Again you all would never have revealed that in the kind of posts that you seem to want to cultivate here and i think that would be a dis-service to public discourse.
