Facebook doesn't discriminate regardless of politics

In response to this interview (dialogue?) about facebook punishing pro-abortion militants for spamming (re: the Great Canadian Wish List).

I got the same treatment.

I got nailed for spam for posting articles.

I got nailed for spam for typing my messages ahead of time on Wordpad, then pasting them in the message box.

I got nailed for spam for adding people I knew as friends.

I got nailed for spam for deleting a message on my group.

I got nailed for spam for responding to messages that were initiated by another person.

I share some of the frustration of the people in this discussion. Facebook does not provide written guidelines on acceptable behaviour. I looked and ask their customer service for such a list.

I began to understand that facebook was meant to be a way to look at status updates and have conversations on groups. It was not meant to be a way to contact several people at the same time.

Happily, I figured out what not to do before my account was permanently disabled.
