Hello Ray

I had tried to make light of Face Book by calling it Farce Book in a thread here. Well, that comment was taken that I was running Face Book down and why was it.

I could have let it go, but then decided to reveal how some of the posters on FB loved to moan and groan about certain well known OC members and moderators. The same interlopers remain OC members. Consequently this was knocked on the head by the admin of that group. I am not able to name this group or the members who said what.

Some of these members then branched away from the cleaned up group, to form their own group, no doubt to pursue the bleating, the character assassinations and their political right wing ideation. Ultimately these groups often finish up on a path to self destruction. One hopes that the nieve and the innocent picked up or seduced along the way, do not end up getting hurt or brainwashed.

I don't blame anyone for not wanting to leave FB. Having said that I have friends and family around the world who use it to keep contact, share photos and common interests or use it to wear their hearts on their sleeves

You have a point John. The only thing is by the time you include all the exceptions to the rule you've lost the audience. We can only go by the way it strikes us: if that's misrepresentative it's also a measure of just how bad the reputation is. It's easy for fools to criticise the individual rather than the medium - you don't have to provide facts to back up your tirade - and then you can hide until you get the one or two similar minded fools following you!

As an example, what would you think that strangers to this forum might have as an opinion of the way we all generally behave? Somewhat different to FB I hope!

Thanks for that Phil, I'm a bit slow on the uptake recently (health uncertainty now resolving) and was floundering! Agree with all you say. Strikes me as predictable that fifth columns prefer anonymity.

Bingo. It's nice to communicate in a more visual way that a text but it's people's whole lives on it is strange.

Just to point out that I didn't delete the other term for 'Richard Head'. (That was done for me). But seeing the amount of complaints it received it's done it's job, which saves me repeating what I still stand by.....lol.
