Good morning.

Our next town hall meeting will be on Saturday, March 26th, 3pm at [location].

Attendance is not mandatory in any way, but everyone is very welcome. We will not be doing any lengthy introductions this time, but if anyone has not attended before and would like to introduce themselves to the community, you are encouraged to do so.

If anyone would like a copy of last month's minutes, you can let myself or ~~Miss~~ ~~Citizen Becket~~ Liberty know and we can arrange that.

I have noted already that we will be hearing from Applejack regarding agricultural needs, and Dr Cuddy will be speaking on behalf of the medical staff. If anyone else has any points for discussion they would like raised, you can let myself or Katherine know in advance and it will be added to the order of business to ensure we cover it. There will be time set aside for open discussion, so don't worry if you don't get your point 'in' on time.

Maryanne, are you able to provide snacks again?

Maria, are you able to set up the holographic interpreter again?

- Alexander Hamilton.

No one is attacking you. You don’t need to jump on the defensive right away. It gets peoples backs up and things escalate. Take a deep breath, go for a walk or something.

And then let me know if he can control who he alters it for or not, and if not we’ll simply make people aware that it is happening. People don’t like having their kids heads messed with however well meaning or unintentional.

	It would be one thing if she was attacking me, but she's asking something of my child that grown adults have problems with. He can't, and it's not their minds he's messing with. It's hard to explain what he's doing, when I only know he's doing it because he did it for me when I got reverted to four years old. It's kind of like selective hearing.

From an outside perspective, I don't think she was initially. She was asking for clarification. We can't seek to understand what we aren't even aware of.

A perception filter, then. People still need to be made aware that there is a perception filter in place, intended or not. I can put up a notice without naming names, or leave it to you to address. Whatever you think best.

Okay, I will concede that point. But if Miss Pitchforks and Torches mentions my kid, it will be her final word. I don't care what will happen to me afterward.

A notice without names would be fine with me. But he only filters people around his age, everyone over eight, probably doesn't hear the changes. Because he thinks his big brothers are old, and his brothers are nine years old.

	Why would it matter if I mentioned him when you've just explained it all to everyone here on the network all by yourself? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Because he's my child. And I didn't explain it all here, I explained one thing. He's not your child, and you know jack shit about him. I doubt you could even point him out in a crowd of children. But my child will not be treated like a freak because you're a coward. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	No one is treating him like a freak. We are simply trying to understand better. We are not all from worlds where these powers exist. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I'm going to paint a picture for you. Imagine you're in my world. You're a mutant. And everyone that isn't like you, that isn't a mutant, wants you dead. And damn near got their wish. What would you do, if your child was like you, and someone threatened to tell the world? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
