I am Tracy Fulce-Gentle and I am Lionel's wife and one of the 4 admin/moderators of the Facebook group I believe you were referring to. The post was allowed because it is in alignment with our community guidelines.
While I have volunteered to admin the group since 2021, it's not my JOB, but a way that I volunteer to support a subset of my community. A subset of my community with clear guidelines that all members must agree to in order to participate. Guidelines that were created by the members and are regularly revisited to ensure they continue to align with our collective values and priorities. We do NOT police our members and we maintain a vibrant group chat where we discuss issues around posts and ensure that any posts are aligned with the guidelines. Given that I also hold other positions in our community that come with actual/perceived power and authority, I don't often post to the group so as to ensure free communication. That was my choice BEFORE my husband decided to run and remains my choice since he entered the race. If he has not asked me to compromise my principle based approach to administering the group, I certainly won't do it for an anonymous poster on the internet.
I could be wrong, but the place to address and respond to that ‘post’ is the place that post originated from. It is a private FB group, some people have no idea what you’re talking about.
Are you in said group? What’s your name in the group? I’m a member of the group, will you please create a post to address this?
Yeah I don't understand why we need to litigate that group's rules in this comment section. I really don't understand why people can't just leave that group?
I disagree that I called out anyone, but what I DID do is reiterate the group rules and my approach to leadership.
Some folks in our community don't understand community and connection, and approach their decisions from a very transactional place. Evanston is not only my hometown but also that of my parents and grandparents, that continuity requires that I consider the short and long term ramifications of my decisions. So I am not one for throwing rocks and hiding my hand. Showing up with integrity is, was, and will always be one of my core values.
Hi! It sounds like you were looking for me?

That post was nothing but inflammatory mud slinging. How unfortunate that that kind of post is ok with anyone’s “community guidelines.”

I’m asking you to show some leadership.

She’s also now posted something calling out Maria for not using their group in all but name. This is so weird.
