Good day all. It\u2019s time to put politics aside for a bit and talk about something really important. This is Facebook\u2019s habit of banning people for saying something they think is offensive. There\u2019s just one small problem with that. What they find offensive isn\u2019t offensive at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Now what had brought this up you may be asking? It\u2019s simple really. A good friend of mine was banned yesterday for 12 hours because he used the words \u201cChigger\u201d and Faggot.\u201d Now a chigger is a small biting insect ((Trombiculidae<\/a>)). They are pests. The problem seems to be that the word \u201cchigger\u201d sounds an awful lot like a racial slur using the letter \u201cN\u201d instead of \u201cCH.\u201d<\/p>\n

Then we have the word \u201cFaggot.\u201d Now it can refer to homosexuals in a derogatory manner, however the word also refers to a bundle of sticks used for firewood. There are variations on this of course, but the word\u2019s original meaning has been around almost as long as the English Language.<\/p>\n

Facebook has also banned people for using the word \u201cNiger\u201d as in the name of the country Niger in Africa. They have banned people using the word \u201cBoobies\u201d when referring to the sea bird ((Booby<\/a>)). Facebook has also banned people for using phrases that the Progressive Liberal idiots don\u2019t like, such as \u201cSecond Amendment.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"faceban\"<\/a><\/p>\n

One person on Facebook has run afoul of the badly written Facebook filters is world renowned author Michael Z. Williamson<\/a>. Mr. Williamson is a veteran of the United States Army and Air Force and has served in Iraq. He is very literate and is anything but a Progressive Liberal moonbat. In fact he has very little use for the non-thinking liberal moonbats that infest Facebook like a swarm of Chiggers.<\/p>\n

This is one of the reasons Mr. Williamson has been banned 13 times to date. Since then, Mr. Williamson, along with his friends, followers and allies, have begun a campaign to get Facebook to wake up the fact that they are managed by idiots and morons. To protest all the people being banned for using the word \u201cChigger,\u201d Mr. Williamson has created a Facebook page called Facebook Chigger Protest Day. The goal of Facebook Chigger Protest Day is to so swamp their system that the admins will actually have to take a look at what is being said.<\/p>\n

\"Ban<\/a><\/p>\n

When Facebook bans someone, they are basically put in a from of \u201cTime out\u201d for 12 hours. They may or may not be able to read what\u2019s going on, or they might be prevented from logging in at all. The excuse Facebook uses when they ban someone is that a \u201cViolation of Community Standards\u201d has occurred. What are these standards? Whatever some idiot in the back office decides it to be, usually to the detriment of people who are religious, politically conservative, constitutionalist or libertarian in their views. Basically, if you offend some pantywaist liberal, the Facebook Ban Hammer will be used.<\/p>\n

Mr. Williamson has collected a small, (Yet growing), list of words that has gotten him and other violently impacted with the Facebook Ban Hammer. They are:<\/p>\n

Chiggers
\nNiggardly
\nFaggot (a bundle of sticks)…
\nSecond Amendment
\nNiger (the country, complete to a Wikipedia link<\/a>)
\nBoobies (a type of bird)
\nGrow up<\/p>\n

Anyone who is literate will know that not one of these words or phrases is derogatory or racist. Telling someone to grow up is simple way of saying \u201cStop acting so childish and use your head for something other than toilet paper.\u201d However, Fascistbook is run by a pack of illiterate Moonbats who think that George Orwell\u2019s 1984<\/a>was a training manual.<\/p>\n

Many people have tried to abandon Fascistbook. Twit.tv\u2019s<\/a> Leo LaPorte made a lot of noise about closing his Facebook account, but was forced to return to it for business reasons. When Google came up with Google+, many people added that socialist network as a backup to Fascistbook. To my knowledge, no one has been banned from there for using the word \u201cChigger.\u201d The problem with Google+ is that it was designed by programmers and is a little…stiff. Fascistbook is a lot \u201cprettier\u201d then Google+, but that is all that Fascistbook has going for it. As more and more people get banned for not being politically correct, overly sensitive moonbats, they will say \u201cThe hell with this\u201d and move off Fascistbook all together. I know that Mr. Williamson has a Google+ account<\/a> as do I. I almost never use it,<\/a> other then posting updates from Anger Central, but I may spend more time on it.<\/p>\n

One of the problems with Google+ is they won\u2019t allow the use of alias. I had to create a fake persona in order to create the account. If the link above doesn\u2019t work, try doing a search for Jonathon A.W. Smith. You will see my smiling visage in full rant.<\/p>\n

One of the things I\u2019ve heard is that younger people are abandoning Fascistbook in droves. If Fascistbook continues driving out people capable of actual thought, in fairly short order all they will have left is a left wing echo chamber. Fascistbook has enough problems with monetizing their system, and driving out the people who actually, you know, work for a living, isn\u2019t going to help their already rocky bottom line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Fascistbook needs to bring in someone who studies and teaches the Constitution of the United States and tell those blithering morons running their filters that they need to lighten up. While I know that Fascistbook is a global company, the people running it and the corporate HQ is based in the United States. They might like to know that the Constitution protects speech. There is nothing in there about a right not to be offended.<\/p>\n

\"man<\/a><\/p>\n

I will be attending the Facebook Chigger Protest Day, and if I\u2019m suddenly unavailable for a day, well, you will know why. Chiggers for everyone! Lets play with Boobies on Facebook Chigger Protest Day!<\/p>\n
