SAVE THE BEARD!
Says Philip: "It all started when I tried to post silver-wedding-anniversary greetings on my brother-in-law's wall and FB sent me an automated 'you are engaing in abusive activity' warning. It did the same again when I sent Celia Rees birthday greetings. As a test, Kathy posted greetings on MY wall and didn't get accused of abuse.
With me so far? Good. Then read on...
...Mary Hoffman then suggested that FB might have it in for BEARDED people trying to post greetings on people's walls, so Kathy grew a beard and put that to the test...
...still there were no accusations of abuse but, because everyone LOVED her beardedness so much, Kathy decided not to shave it off just yet. I hope that clears things up."
To support Philip, we are all wearing beards too!
