After deleting the original statement, we promptly asked about submitting the post for approval through the proper channels so that it could be reposted. At this point, ODP staff informed us that a meeting with Acton was on the table. After thorough discussion, caucus leadership determined this offer aligned with our goal to bring our message directly to her.
They got tricked into attending a meeting without Acton. And some of them weren’t allowed into the meeting.
Ooo you’re getting warmer! Are these specific people banned from posting that specific criticism anywhere on Facebook?
The page where it could do the most good. Why is that not enough for you? It is still a ban.
Now we’re really cooking!
Okay, so let’s work it out starting really broadly: should everyone in the world have access to post anything they want at all to that Facebook page?
That isn’t the question. The question is “why can’t the original posters resubmit through the proper channels”? Because it was banned.
They can.
No. Remember? They tried that:
They got tricked into attending a meeting without Acton. And some of them weren’t allowed into the meeting.
You keep using this quote – have you actually read it?
They asked about submitting the post for approval and they were offered a meeting with Acton.
That’s what it says.
You’re making the positive claim that they were told they cannot resubmit the post for approval. That quote does not demonstrate that to be the case.
Do you understand that yet? Or do we have to loop around again?
…which was ignored. Instead:
…which turned out to be a lie.
Where do you get the idea that they were allowed to resubmit the post?
It was banned.
Does not appear in the quote. If you have another source for that claim, it’s weird that you haven’t shared it by now.
Fair, I’ll rephrase: you cannot demonstrate that they were not allowed to resubmit the post.
