No problem, but when you speak to your elected representative, please also say that they should have local police adopt a policy that all police officers carry business officers with detailed contact information.
At the meta level if someone "gives me a card" and it's just... the phone number to whoever gatekeeps access to them and an email some assistant monitors, then don't expect the same level of trust, deference, or respect as someone like me who hands out the email tied to their real name, the phone number for the SIM in their phone, and the Signal number tied to the phone number they've held onto since they were 16.
(You might notice some of my more recent posts seemed rushed, or erratic. That is because I was posting like a literal dissident: drafting things, posting, then immiedately changing locations.
A lot of the rhetoric around "community standards" of speech is more about things like, well, yeah, someone might stand up a server with Mein Kampf or something on it, and that's ok because sometimes people want to read that for academic reasons.
Anyways sorry for the wall of text, but when folks spoke to me informally, when I was debating certain roles or... companies... a lot of them spoke of things like "analysis paralysis"[1][2]
I see a lot of people nowadays who seem to take the view that if they prominently display a contact phone number and unique identifier, they can move to more of a model where anti-social behavior is the default, and challenge others to report out to some... entity... to come and deal with the issue.
(Versus making a good faith effort to follow the guidlines, and being willing to accept sincere feedback.)
Anyways sorry to wall of text you, but it's been really interesting seeing how people react to me versus others on the internet, especially when I take a long pause from posting here on the orange website ;-)
