[ITSALLABOUTMEMAN] Re: Occupy Facebook Page

Hi Linnea,

Thank you for your interest in my complaint, and I'm sorry I didn't respond before... but I got another post form this group: https://www.facebook.com/OccupyWallSt/?fref=ts and realized its the only one I'm hearing from. I don't have much objection to what they actually have to say, but am angry at being excluded from the dialogue, particularly when I think my only offence was bringing up this sort of issue:

The central role of US law enforcement and intel agencies in coordinating the bloody crushing of the Occupy Movement in cities across the US (http://thiscantbehappening.net/node/2300)

When people would post things praising the Democratic Party as our salvation over the Republicans. I have wondered if it isn't another of those pernicious Democratic Party astroturf front groups.

At any rate, I'd join a better Occupy group if you point me to one... but if this is one of the more official ones, and you have some contact with them, maybe you can advise them to knock this sort of thing off, I've been giving them a lot of free publicity, not the kind they would like, and it makes the movement seem totalitarian, not democratic, when they behave this way.

Can you send me a link to the page? There are a lot of them.

A lot of pages direct their email to us because we're one of the few Occupy groups that actually answer email even though we don't have admin access to most groups or fb pages.

My guess is that the page you had access to has no set of agreements for how they operate and no accountability principles, so there's not much that can be done.

We at occupywallstreet.net aren't really involved with some of the more popular OWS pages and can't change them, sorry.

Nothing has been done about this yet.

I've started to become a little impatient, and I have discussed this
on my blog, and have mentioned it to one Facebook friend who is an
Occupy Wall Street supporter. I have 43 other friends who are also
supporters on Facebook. Am I going to have to try to enlist them to
try to get your moderators to correct their error?

Why do you praise your adversaries, (Obama, for example) and censor
your friends? This is not a program for success.

Please look into this and do something about it.
