I understand using a handle to be funny, cute, or, witty, but in a small community, word gets out. I don't know much about AI, so I rely on those who do. Thank you, Jen, for digging deep to shed light on this, yet another, reason to be skeptical of what you read on the internet. That's why Jake is my candidate for County Commissioner. He doesn't hide behind handles, he'll talk to anyone including the homeless, and he looks you in the eye while shaking your hand. Genuine. THE reason to vote for Jake tomorrow!!
I see ICE man bad, orange man bad, Jake man bad, but no/none/"0" bad for any candidate that chooses the label Democrat. I wonder if that speaks at all to what alignment the attack dogs might have ? I understand the weak the other guy is bad effort, but what might be good and why ? Anything other than the other choice is worse ?
Here is the issue I see with using Sur Names. Let use Salsa for instance. How do we know he is not a politician or one who holds a position inside the county political system?
He/she/they/it is more than welcome to do address the speculation people make about who they are, the same as I address people’s concerns about my account handle. Since they don’t address it, nor do they print retractions when their accusations are proven incorrect, I don’t expect that from them any time soon.
What it makes me question is that for all the people who willing spread the lies and disinfo from the toxic blog, whether they actually know the person/people doing it since they don’t question the content. If the people who question my handle and doubt what I write because of it, why do those people believe Toxic Salsa when they’re more anonymous than I am? Could it be because they know who it is? Maybe. And for some I suspect it’s because they want to believe it; they want to see Jeff and Jake torn down; they want to believe it so badly they won’t do their own research…which I doubt they’re capable of doing anyway. LOL.
Once people meet me, they’re put at ease when they have a face to go with the name; they see I’m real, I’m extremely normal looking, and that I represent myself accurately online in every way except sharing what I have a right to keep private; yet I still expose myself more than Toxic Salsa ever has and people still dismiss me based on not knowing who Clallamity Jen is. There’s no helping some people, LOL.
(7) FINALLY, I BOWED BEFORE MY SCREEN. CLALLAMITY JEN, ONCE AGAIN YOU PUT THE ‘READ’ BACK INTO WORTHY READING. And I’m sure have saved many arthritic fingers : )
I think some people in charge in Clallam County are so behind the times they don’t understand how social media platforms work, especially reddit. Just look at the county website; so outdated looking and outdated info on it, like the commissioners’ mission statement from two or three years ago. Staying up to date is not a mission in Clallam County, but handing out boofing kits is. LOL.
It’s not that people can’t use anonymous handles, but to me when those people serve in any capacity as public servants, including appointees to government advisory boards, it shows what those specific people really stand for — hiding, not being transparent, and causing chaos rather than working towards proven solutions.
I understand free speech and this state upholds free speech more than other states, so it ultimately comes down to an individual’s ethical choices; and it’s being shown clearly that some people who serve the county have no ethics and they don’t even respect the positions they hold by being transparent about who they are online.
I don’t like what Mike French says online, based on what Jeff shares, but I give him credit for being transparent with his name, so I know why not to vote for him. LOL.
Jamie doesn't like CCWD "tearing down nonprofits" but her wife, "Rae-Rae" Heselbach has launched an all-out attack on beloved nonprofit 4PA. These people!!!
Well there you go Mike French and Lapdogs of the DSA have nothing they can be proud of without support from their own glad handers.
They spin everything they can and it will be their undoing. Most of us who pay attention have had it with their so called compassion, money grubbing programs. They have to have someone to sling the mud for Mike's benefit. His record of uncontrollable spending is in the books. His disregard for safety of our children and seniors with his support of Harm reduction and pool shower vouchers says more than anything that oozes from his lips.
Party politics are hurting our beautiful county way more than helping and that's with our tax dollars! Not donors...
Thank you for not reading the article: Now, if you click on the profile, the underlying URL string still whispers @jaiporter. But in the daily bustle of Substack comment sections, the public no longer sees an acceptable shortened name of an advisory board appointee who helps review program proposals and guide funding recommendations for local housing issues. They just see a quirky, relatable screen name: Chaos Coordinator.
Feel free to see the screenshot I included. Where does it show @jaiporter in the screenshot? Where? It is hidden compared to what you had before. That’s the issue, in case you missed it. LOL.

Oh, I am CERTAIN members of Invisible know who Salsa is. I would bet we see them post on FB in the groups.

Shameful!
Good evening CJ,
Well there you go Mike French and Lapdogs of the DSA have nothing they can be proud of without support from their own glad handers.
They spin everything they can and it will be their undoing. Most of us who pay attention have had it with their so called compassion, money grubbing programs. They have to have someone to sling the mud for Mike's benefit. His record of uncontrollable spending is in the books. His disregard for safety of our children and seniors with his support of Harm reduction and pool shower vouchers says more than anything that oozes from his lips.
Party politics are hurting our beautiful county way more than helping and that's with our tax dollars! Not donors...
Nuff said .
Thank you all and have a great one!
There is nothing hidden about my identity. It’s right there in my profile: @jaiporter. Happy to help you with social media if you have any questions.
