Facebook Comments: Blog Page v. Personal Page

 

For several weeks, Facebook has been erratic when publishing posts to our blog's page. Most now have a generic icon, leaving readers to check the date or miss blogs altogether. For that reason, we've begun posting our blogs on our personal page also.

While one would think it should go without saying, it apparently doesn't: If you wish to post a highly critical remark, please do so on our blog's Facebook page and not our personal one. Comments will be deleted from our personal page and in some cases bring about a block/ban.

Our blog yesterday on Andy Betterton's inane response to bringing new businesses to the Florence Mall brought several critical comments. Yet, they were most interesting. Some who commented were not from Florence or the Shoals. What interest did they have in Florence's new mayor? Others were college students, while still others could be classified as living on the fringes of society.

What did this collection of posters have in common? Upon closer look, all proved to be members of Project Say Something, a group big on having a voice, but apparently only one that parrots its mantra. The next question is what interest did this group have in such vehement defense of the mayor elect when he's humorously criticized for his nonsensical answer to a very real problem?

Just what has Handy Dandy Andy promised this group?
