Thank Ceiling Cat and some Big Guns who went to bat for me—and on whom I’ll confer anonymity—my Facebook page has returned. Although it’s still listed as “being investigated,” it seems to work fine. I guess I’ll never know why it was taken down.
But I also learned that I have a public Facebook page, or so a reader said. Maybe that’s just the public announcements on my regular Facebook page, but I don’t think so. At any rate, I don’t know where it is, nor did I start it.
Anyway, that’s one First World problem out of the way.
Congrats! I’m not on facebook but I can empathize with losing something that you’ve put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into maintaining, and which a lot of people use to talk to you/hear your thoughts.
Jerry, if you go look at the squirrel pic I posted in your honor on my timeline, there’s a tag in my comment that will take you to your public page.
OMG it’s there! thanks for the squirrel!
You’re most welcome. I’ll save it for the next batch of photos.
That is strange – Dobzhansky has a page – how did he manage that?!

Melissa Chen noted that several other Global Secular Humanist Movement folks had had there pages suspended as well. At least one other is back. The rest?

I’m not sure. It’s weird because the GSHM site was up while the moderators’ sites (but not Melissa’s) got suspended.
Glad you’re back, especially with minimal potential for disruption to the book release.
Meanwhile, I’m as firmly convinced as ever that I want nothing to do with MyFacerLinkGram+.

What about toot!
What is facebook is it like a book about cosmetics I don’t know what it is.
Facebook is like jail. You sit around and waste time, write on walls, and get poked by people you don’t know. (unknown source)
🙂
What a relief! That was distressing.
Yay! I hope you one day find out why your page was suspended. It only takes a complaint to make that happen.
Makes one wonder…does Facebook have a Facebook page that one can complain about to create some creatively recursive chaos?

Indeed they do.Facebook in facebook.”
“Facebook is on Facebook. To connect with Facebook, join Facebook today.”

Yes, I look forward to the day Facebook suspends itself.
I imagine it’s already friended itself, which seems rather incestuous….

Great! Now backup you site – don’t lose those pics.
Yay! I missed you!

I am glad you are back. I think the work you do in this area I vital to the improvement of our civilisation.
But seeing as it seemingly takes heavy weights to get justice for a heavy weight, this more evidence that ha average Joan wine and cheese, should be very wary and not trust them and not like them.
And avoid them if possible.
So, I have Facebook cos someone made me get it (no freewill!) but I can’t find Mr Coyne WEIT.
Is this because I don’t know how to work it, which I don’t or because it is some private thing?

Houston noticed. Happy for you.
Now, will the twits at Uncommon Descent breathlessly report that Zuckerberg has rehabilitated PCC like they did when he was purged?
