@justinherman: @henrim The effect is that the uninformed, often self-serving #Gov20 commentary is repeated by these unknowing blogs, etc, as “expert” info

@henrim: @JustinHerman I’m w/ u. But what should #Gov20 do root out the fake? I feel people w/in the comm know who they are but don’t speak up

@justinherman: @henrim That’s the problem: #Gov20 leaders aren’t going to cocktail parties bragging about how they’re leaders – they’re behind scenes

@justinherman: @henrim People go into politics for celebrity, not the Fed gov. If someone is drawing attention to him/herself above all, they aren’t #Gov20

@justinherman: @henrim I find it ironic that alot of the nonsense I read on Twitter and blogs on #Gov20 is the exact opposite of what will actually help it

@henrim: @JustinHerman again agreed. my hesitation w/ #Gov20 they are no practicing some of that they preaching.

@henrim: @JustinHerman that being said i’m not calling for public shaming of @fakecheekygeeky or anyone else #Gov20
