FED UP WITH FACEBOOK

I usually don't post or share these blog post with other forms or social media i.e. Facebook or Twitter. However, I made an exception for my last blog entitled THE VOICE, and posted a link to it on Facebook. Evidently either it offended someone or it hit on a banned word or two.  But to make a long story short, the post was removed from Facebook and I got a warning message about posting inappropriate links in violation of the Facebook Terms or Service.

I'm Not sure how I violated the Terms of Service and send a message to Facebook. Almost immediately I got back an automated response almost identical to the original message. So I still have no idea what was inappropriate or how I violated the Terms of Service.

Then to compound matters, one of the administrators in a private Facebook group filed a complaint with Facebook that I was spamming the group. I checked and in past two weeks I had made a grand total of three post to the group, two YouTube links that pertained to the subject of the group and one photo that also pertained to the group subject. 

I also looked back and found that during the same two week period the same administrator who popped me with a complaint posted more than 100 times, anything from video links to links selling t-shirts and flags. 

I message the group administrator about the issue three days ago and have not heard back from her.  I don't think I will as it appears that she wants to hijack the group for her own personal use. 

Long story short it appears that I am in Facebook Timeout and while I have been able to read posts I am not able to post or comment. I don't know how long I will be in timeout but when/if it is over I am strongly considering ending my Facebook participation and moving on to something else. We will see what happens when I cool down a little. But never the less I will be leaving the closed group even if I decide to stay on Facebook.

With that being said, nothing much has been happening here and I have been staying close to home. I did make a little day trip down to the NASCAR Hall of Fame in Charlotte. While I am not a fan of the current NASCAR, I do enjoy looking back to NASCAR's glory days when men were men and cars were cars. NASCAR today is so sterile, with no character.

I did get the final Dallas Video edited and posted. In this video I attempted to follow the footstep of Lee Harvey Oswald immediately before and after the assassination of President Kennedy.  The only site that I did not personally visit was the Ruth Payne House in Irving, Texas.

I did visit Oswald's Oak Cliff Romming House, the site of the Tippit Shooting and the Texas Theatre where he was eventually captured.  I also managed to visit the the Graves of both Officer Tippit and Oswald. I think it is a pretty good video and hope you will take a look. Here is the link to the video.

Anyway I don't have a lot planned for the next few weeks. I will be just chilling at home editing videos and getting ready from my Amtrak trip to Arizona in the middle of October.
