FB is so frustrating. I got in trouble for saying “I’m not going to argue with a racist”, but when I have gotten violent threats made against me and reported them every single time the response is that they didn’t find the comment “to have violated their rules.” I know someone with a transgender child who gets several daily death threats directed at not only her, but also her child, and same thing. Nothing has ever been done about any of the threats. It’s total BS. Anyways, all that unfortunate stuff aside, I hope you enjoy your travels!! Thanks for always keeping us updated during these crazy times.

The Senate candidate likes swimming in the stupid soup.

Three days? When I get put in FB jail it is for a month! Kind of glad it was you though, because I missed you on FB and thought you might have blocked me! Enjoy your week!

Hmmm, do you think bullying is connected to name recognition. It hurts when a known entity calls you out.😉 Have a great vacation.

Your comment was extremely mild compared to what I've been called. But I "debate" trolls as a stress reliever & for fun. Been 3 day banned many times. I recently got a 5 day ban. After seeing a basketball sized Huntsman spider that lived on a guy's wall, told him to 🔥 it with fire, house & all. He laughed. Fabo didn't. They said I used threatening language.

To a spider.

They must have to report you to be banned, I've seen open hate speech, insults, extremely foul language, threads FULL of packs of trolls. I think they message each other & gang up on people. With the same weak GOP messaging.

PS There is a typo in the copy of your post that comes in my mailbox---but the typo doesn't show up here at the top of this page. Hmmmm. The "s" on travels is missing in my copy. FYI.

I got a warning for being sarcastic on FB. That's what we get for believing that algorithms can actually replace human linguistic understanding. Well, welcome back from "jail" and enjoy your trip. Stay safe and greetings from the other side of the world.

Have fun on Fire Island and I look forward to your even more literate insights. The J6 Hearing tonight should stimulate your writing. Hopefully Trumpism takes a fatal blow.
