Status Unknown
From what I understand this happens to people from time to time. My facebook account has been disabled for no reason whatsoever. None. No warning. No reason. Nothing. I was on there. I changed my status. I refreshed the page, and I was locked out.
I’ve emailed them three times since it happened last night, but I haven’t heard anything from them. It’s very unsettling — perhaps more than it should be.
So, if you really are dying to know my status, you’ll just have to wait until this whole mess gets sorted out.
I could simply start over and create a new account, but I really don’t want to do that. It took me quite a while to amass 800 “friends”, and nearly 400 people read this blog via the networked blog feed on facebook. Not quite Scot McKnight numbers, but this is one of the more popular Christian blogs on facebook.
Or it was.
Anyway, I’m headed out of town for the weekend — taking the family and visiting some good folks in Sulphur Springs, TX. Let’s hope this is all worked out by the time I return on Monday. Until then, my status will have to remain unknown.

Have a good trip. Hope everyone is well.
That facebook problem is strange. I am not always happy with how the page (mine) is working. I could go back to email very easy, even thought about it. Making special groups isn’t all that hard.
I’ve had a crazy problem with my curser, it seems to go all over the page if I am not watching. So when I get done typing, the words are all mixed up.

I went and looked for you on facebook and you seem to have disappeared there! Not only were you not on my list of friends but you don’t appear in a search at all. Something very weird going on. Hope you get it sorted.

I’m sorry, John. Seriously, this is a concern I have about Facebook. It’s as free as the air, and, therefore, who do we complain to if we have problems? Who’s accountable and why should they care? I had a couple of issues with profile pictures a while back. I went to the tech support page. I saw that many other people were experiencing the same problem, but what are we gonna do? Just wait, I guess.
Who are the people who run Facebook? It’s all just up in the cloud. It’s an increasingly important part of our lives, and we’re just kind of at their mercy.

And I read where they own whatever you put on it

I have never had any issues or troubles of any kind ever with face book.
I don’t have a face book page.
