Former Town Councilor John Farrell discussing anonymous Facebook posts at the 7/9/2025 Library Trustee meeting. Farrell asserts that Facebook group administrators are aware of the identities of anonymous posters, some of whom are members of the Leach Library Board of Trustees. He expresses that he knows who has written about him and encourages a more mature and kind approach to online interactions within their community. Farrell implies that the lack of kindness in these anonymous posts is detrimental to what he believes is a great town.
Farrell did not state which Facebook groups are releasing names.
While I am not a fan of anonymous posts these assertions are concerning. Are Admins of local Facebook groups disclosing the names of resident posting anonymously?
