Rant #3,365: My Mistake

Well, I done did it again.

As many of you probably know by now, my G-rated post was banned by Facebook yesterday.

I guess I riled them by talking about what is happening in the Middle East, but a good portion of the Rant was about various problems my family and I are currently facing.

That gets banned and worse--and I do mean MUCH worse--gets by on Facebook?

The explanation is that the post went against the seemingly all-inclusive "community standards" reason, which is questionable, at best, when I see what posts slip by.

Completely ridiculous, but I have been down this road before.

You might remember that after my mother passed away last September, my posts were blocked, again because I went against "community standards" when I spoke about her.

And since I had the nerve to question it, I was banned entirely for about three months--

All over mention of my deceased mother.

(You might remember that they also banned me for supposedly putting up lewd photos on my sites, which, of course, I never did, and they actually rescinded that part of the ban when they found that they were wrong about this.)

So this time, I won't question Facebook's decision to not allow yesterday's post to go through, but I will monitor the situation again, and then see if I can do something about it.

I probably can't do much about it, so I am just going to have to take my poison--

And like it.

Hopefully, the ban lasts just one day, but I am going to tell you, it won't derail me from saying what I feel needs to be said.

Funny, I just told you that I put up a comment about inappropriate posts on certain sites, and right away, I was cited for a G-rated post thst fits the littany of topics that I regularly talk about.

And again, I go through Facebook and see what they consider to be OK, and I just don't get it.

I guess the target is on my back, but the arrow being shot at me is completely misdirected.
