Dear Commissioner Fritz,

Thank You so much for your frank and honest disclosure. I found the Angela Greben Twitter Censorship studies very interesting.

I was bullied very heavily on twitter in 2008 and 2012 depending on the nature of my campaigning.  Once i deleted the account to stop the harassment.

Another time i felt forced to block certain accounts.

Currently i am bullied by David hennessey regarding an activist Hart Noecker who is accused by multiple women of rape, date rape, forced drugging and abuse.

I am being bullied for daring to ask him what happened as the DA doesn't take such crimes seriously.

I try to ignore the panic i caused by daring to ask.

Of Course you don't have to respond to  me, but i appreciate your sharing.  The entire community was devastated by your loss, and some of us may share our commiseration in confusing ways.

The little Twitter scandal i believe is a good one, and when i am at my primary computer, i may seek to shed light on some of this.

The reason people care what you do/say/think/listen to, is because we have already given up on Charlie Hales, but it puts more pressure on you to be the good Iconic Heroine!

I hope i have not in anyway upset you by engaging this debate.

After i was blocked by the alleged rapist friends to hide his bullying, i unblocked almost all of my blockees, for the principle of how socially isolating people can hurt their sense of justice.

On my Youtube comments as well i tend to allow free flow of thought, but Youtube holds back potentially offensive comments, and do not like being a vehicle for sexisim or racism of any kind.

The Oakland Police scandal surrounding the sexually exploited teenager and her sexual abusers at the Oakland Police, has put the spotlight on how public figures engage on Facebook.

Ultimately we are all 3 Dimensional Human Beings, with feelings.

I am the first one to be put off by Foul Language or condescending tones and i feel we need a public discussion about how we can both engage in dialogue and show respect.

Many of the male journalist and activists act unaware at how offensive their language can be.

They still expect to be listened to.

What to do?

If You don't mind i want to share this with Laura Vanderlyn who feels very very hurt by Mayor Hales and Nick Fish blocking her on Twitter, after she was brutally arrested and harassed about her Mexican heritage and immigration status for attending the COAB meeting.

None of us expected COAB to be a sting operation where we would be ridiculed or abused or retaliated against.

Interestingly, the Multnomah DA dropped the fake case against me, in which i was falsely alleged by John Chandler of g4s to have a corkscrew brandished at city hall. This was a license to hurt abuse and bruise me, and the closest i've felt to a direct death threat in such a high profile way.

Politics is a dangerous game. and I want very much for you to have better security. If John Chandler of g4s, or Charlie Hales through him, will lie about me, they would lie about you. Same for the officer Engstrom who is under investigation for crushing my wrists and covering me with bruises and tearing my shoulders.

Barry Stull's trial is underway. The judge Leslie Roberts began screaming at me, when Young DA Emon McMann attacked me for passing a note to Barry Stulll during a break about John Chandler having no credibility due to his track record lying about and to me.

As the Judge (Leslie Roberts) screamed at me so unprofessionally, i volunteered to leave, and she raged so loudly the jury would hear her. She (screaming Judge Leslie Roberts waffled and then finally) asked me  to leave as per DA request.

I then ran into Rod Underhill and asked him why Cody Berne the killer of Keaton Otis is working for DA's office. I asked him why Engstrom is facing no consequences for bruising and crushing me.

Poor Underhill was exasperated by me, but i shared with him my grief about NYC bombing the day before.

I do not like the lack of manners or decorum from professional figures in Oregon, and will complain to proper channels.

It is so personally devastating to be rewarded with such brutality for sharing my enthusiasm for public service. It is a small honor, but such suffering.

Thank you for your message, Mary.

I use Twitter mostly to find out information on current events, and for sending out information that I am not allowed to use City email to disseminate, such as political campaigns.  My Twitter page clearly states that it is my personal account.  I am meticulous in copying my City email for any email interactions that should be on the public record.  As you know, I try hard to respond to emails sent to this official address.  When I can’t, the information on how to get a reply is in my auto-response, and the email is archived on the City server.  I don’t respond on Twitter.  Twitter is not automatically archived and part of public records.

I don’t recall why or when I muted particular accounts on Twitter.  Some were spam or advertising, some overwhelming number of tweets, some continually on traffic crashes – particularly hard for me to read, given my husband was killed in one.

If Mr. Bivins desires a response on an issue, he is welcome to email me at this address.
