I disagree. Silence rules are in effect to keep chapters from placing pressure on a PNM and her family. They may be “artificial” and imperfect, but they’re what we have. If you can recommend something that’s legitimately better, go for it. If all you are going to do is complain and offer no workable solutions you can ride the bitter bus on out of here.
The fact remains: most people don’t know if their daughter/niece/granddaughter has a bad reputation. It’s probably a generational thing, because sisters generally do know of one another’s reputations. Like I said: I'm not calling little Suzy's mother/aunt/grandmother and telling her that little Suzy might look good on paper but she's really a skank.
