My Response to the Worst Islam-o-phobe Page on Facebook

This post is NWSF. You have been warned.

Today I got a tip for the worse Islam-o-phobe page on Facebook.

It's called "FUCK ISLAM AND EAT BACON". Just Google it.

Here's my 12-second sound-byte in response to "Doctor Benway" who runs the page with his EDL lackeys from Australia and the UK.

This guy has been deluged with hate mail from outraged liberals who never understand why he mocks Muslims.

He gets death threats from Muslims, too.

Here's an example of the hate mail he posts and his response:

Fuck Islam and Eat Bacon Malak Bazid Writes: You seriously believe all the things the media tries to make you believe? The media has obviously succeeded in playing tricks on you and your mind.

My final response to "Doctor Benway":

I am Vindicated in Not Returning to Facebook

Late last year in October 2010, I stated that I felt vindicated in not returning to Facebook. This was less than 100 days after first documenting the fact that my time on Facebook was over.

With Anonymous set on destroying Facebook on November 5, I am glad for not returning to Facebook.

All the Java scripts on Facebook slow down your web browser, forcing people who can afford it to upgrade to fast yet expensive PCs.

Even I had problems using Facebook with Linux because of those scripts.

Those scripts pushed ad content and kept track of your Facebook experience.

As well, other scripts more malevolent might give you a Trojan that might kill your Internet access instead of merely pushing advertisements.

While I don't necessarily agree with what one faction of Anonymous is doing, this is one time when I am vindicated in not returning to Facebook.

I feel Vindicated about My Decision Not to Ignore FACEBOOK's BAN

http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052702304772804575558484075236968.html

"Many of the most popular applications, or "apps," on the social-networking site Facebook Inc. have been transmitting identifying information—in effect, providing access to people's names and, in some cases, their friends' names—to dozens of advertising and Internet tracking companies, a Wall Street Journal investigation has found.

The issue affects tens of millions of Facebook app users, including people who set their profiles to Facebook's strictest privacy settings. The practice breaks Facebook's rules, and renews questions about its ability to keep identifiable information about its users' activities secure."

They broke their rules before I joined, and they broke their own rules after they assured everyone else on Facebook and informed everyone of their strictest privacy setting.

Facebook also got members to nark on pedophiles, rather than changing security to include sending in or emailing ID like I did on one local dating site.

As well, they denied any responsibility when Facebook was used by criminals to scam other users, steal from them, and even didn't catch wind of the other capital offences committed by a few bad apples, probably despite a handful of complaints.

In my case, I was banned. Was it for posting partially nude pictures of people I don't know, heavily edited with the Gnu Image Manipulation Program (GIMP), usually by degrading the image to black and white and creatively blurring the pictures? Or for adding young people from Indonesia to help me rack up a high score at a Yazuka game Facebook runs? I really don't know.

The usual way to prevent banned users from signing up under a fake name to wreak revenge on the people who finked on them is to refuse to validate accounts associated with an email address and its associated IP address.

In my case, after receiving the email Facebook sent me which stated that I was banned due to complaints from other Facebook member, I indirectly admitted wrong-doing in reply. Within hours, I received the second email from them which stated that their decision stands and that their decision was final.

My response is documented in my blog entry for May 9, 2010, My Time on Facebook is Over.

After reading the article on Wall Street Journal, I feel vindicated for not returning to Facebook.

FWIW all my Facebook friends are spending time online they will never ever get back.

As for me, I'm getting out more often this winter to prevent SAD from turning me into a grumpy old man.

My Time on Facebook is Over

After two years on it, my profile was disabled by the Facebook Team sometime between Thursday May 6 and Saturday May 9.

After I asked why my account was disabled, they stated that my online behavior at Facebook violated Facebook's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities. As a result of recent online behavior, I will not be able to use Facebook. According to their email to me, the Facebook Team's decision is final and cannot be appealed.

This decision means I cannot create another Facebook account using my Yahoo account since FB's Statement of Rights and Responsibilities prohibits me from doing so.

Thank you, Facebook Team, for telling me why my account was disabled.

Thanks also for your prompt response.

After getting banned from other Internet forums (Clubvibes especially) as a result of previous on-line behavior, I plan to make no effort to create a new account on Facebook using another email account.

Instead, I plan to spend my time here editing my blog, and to return the focus on spirituality inspiration based on Buddhism and other faiths.

Sleep Disorder Common Malady of Mild Traumatic Brain Injury

December 8, 2008: According to my experience, mild TBI (traumatic brain injury) began early. I do not doubt that I was quite two when, in a fit of anger, my brother - aged 3 - took the hoe he was using to play in the tiny sandbox we had in the yard.

Since then, there have been numerous mTBI, including a fall down the stairs around 5 years of age, smashing my left temple on the corner of the stone fireplace...

Later in school I once bumped into a fellow student in Grade 2, and got a nasty gash on the back of my head. The fellow who bumped into me, DK, grew up in poverty. His family life was one of deprivation and squalidness.

Years passed. I developed insomnia as a result of antihistamines used for hay fever, and was quite exhausted by age 8.

Recently, a mTBI in July 2004 resulted in a lot of chaos that went away after I became roommates with my ex-GF LJ and her new BF TN.

My guess is, these mTBIs may be the root of my inability to form long intimate relationships with the opposite sex. There just isn't depth to me for a woman to tolerate me for long.

I say it's the TBI combined with the Japanese upbringing. For there appears to be a wall which comes up when I am asked to open up and truly communicate.

It's frustrating though, and yet I carry on, mainly because this blog is the best means of communication for me.

So too is Facebook, especially its ability to use a smartphone's camera to send pictures to the Albums section.

Yet pictures may paint a thousand words, but true communication demands face-to-face communication. Computers do not provide that, even with a webcam.

Only activities which help one to talk with other like-minded people may do that. So I will try to make Meetup meetings when my schedules allows it.

In the meantime, I am happy taking pictures on my KODAK EASYSHARE C763 Zoom Digital Camera.

Update: February 2, 2013

Currently I use my Samsung S II HD LTE smartphone as my main camera since my KODAK camera stopped working. This began during the summer of 2012.

I mainly use the default camera app.

Regarding my sleep disorder, I use flexeril and gabapentin as sleep aids since they both are safe and effective when used as directed.
