facebook public listing is gone

Labels:





THEY ARE OUT TO GET ME...
they know I can get friends from elsewhere to come here.

they don't like my aggressive social nature.
they know I have a marketing history...

it's about money. my public listing is gone.
go to my profile when you log out of facebook

they are doing everything they can to make life difficult because they know they're arguments don't hold water and that I have enough of a public personality that discriminating against myself would hurt they're company...

I am certain they have labeled myself a problem case... because my art upsets the Volvo soccer crowd and I aggressively go out and showcase it.

Why would I be paranoid. Because I'm not an idiot. I know my work is offensive to those with a certain agenda. Conservative and Blue state... they both have a propaganda agenda I don't meet.

....hmmm it just flickered back on again. Been doing this for a few days.
I still have my suspicions. facebook just has been continually suspicious

Mighty facebook crumbles in SPAM

Labels:
I just got a spam on my facebook wall! something about ringtones. the honeymoon with facebook is over.
amazing but true.... I don't get spam at myspace anymore..... hmmmmmm also in myspace when I asked to add a friend the interface asked me to send a message and there is a kind of feed there... could it be? is the mighty facebook becoming a slum? hmmmmmm Groucho Marx once said he would never want to be in a club that would have himself as a member. If Zuckerberg let me come back? ...who else slipped through the crack. East Germany falls? ...and will all bemoan the Stalinist state?

spam is gone on myspace. the problem is people's page profiles sometimes.... but frankly that is a nice filtering agent. usually the self righteous jerks that think they're farts smell better then others have cluttered myspace pages. people that are smart know how to be defined by your friends comments. I actually enjoy the culture.... and to be honest outside of a very few people... my connections and friends were happening @ myspace. now that facebook has become less snobby... it is becoming a more friendly environment. believe it or not I think the whole Scoble Affair & Beacon was a sobering element. It made the admins here realize that they were not g-d. it isn't about technology anymore. social networking is about making people love the place.

when I was a student at Carnegie Mellon University the student center was this fugly modernish building name Skibo (named after Andrew Carnegie's castle). This building was dilapidated and falling apart. there were New York City Public Schools that looked in better condition then this ugly 60's trash heap. At any rate.... it had a very homey charm and though people thought it was ugly and trashy... and dirty and scummy. People just kind of got used to it. It basically was nothing but a cafeteria... not much as far as lecture hall or anything... but it was the location that George H Bush gave his famous "VooDoo economics speech". during my Sophomore year they tore down old Skibo and built a state of the art "STUDENT CENTER". The "STUDENT CENTER" had not only a food court... it had a Gymnasium and sports workout room. It had a movie theatre and state of the art lecture hall. It had it's own coffee bar... this new student center was awesome... and yet... everyone missed old "SKIBO" because it had a history and because it had a soul that was hard to define. The new place had everything and was made of brick and had a classical not modern feel... and yet something was lacking. It was hard to explain... but the new Student Center felt like a shopping mall. It was too high tech. an engineering school like CMU needed to relax... not feel like they have entered the Panopticon of hell. People began comparing the architecture of the "Student Center" to the architecture of Italy under Mussolini. The lesson? Sometimes people just like the shitty old thing.

and then this happened: thrown off myspace
I take it all back

facebook is a BLUE STATE too. Scoble and Zuckerberg

Labels: » »


I'm all fine withe the right wing profit capitalism kind of stuff, but I have seen two promising things this year that broke my heart. One was the 2007 Mets. The other facebook. I got thrown off for the same reasons as Scoble... I know that it was a lie and I got kicked off for etiquette. The administration knew that etiquite was a slippery slope... so they threw information abuse at me. Now Scoble has made our contact information just as arbitrary. Regardless facebook is a government. And any government that runs on "DISCRETION" like the facebook "Terms" is bull dinky. The appeals system is unconstitutional... but being that facebook doesn't have one it is almost pointless to say that. I want to stand accountable for my actions. ZuckerTurd and Scoble showed me that it is a very elitist party. Can you believe that Scoble sent out an antiwar message from his protest facebook group? I don't care where you stand on the political spectrum... Iraq has nothing to do with Scoble getting special privileges. The Leftist pied piper strikes again and sells us the tyranny of a double standard. facebook is A BLUE STATE too!

heard the news by now?

she did not like the comment

Labels:
there was an article in the New York Times where the supreme court basically said "stupid government is not unconstitutional" ...and something stuck in my head about that issue. It is legal for our leaders to pass stupid laws that hurt people? and then I realized that something needs to radically change in the way we think of right and wrong. A certain legal "relativity" and prioritizing. Too much in society is left to "discression" without any means to question authority.

Without going into specifics... I thought that it was something that someone who was going to start a social net should think about. Is sexual innuendo wrong and under what correlation and relative to what and who did I invite to look at it. In other words our concepts of free thought need to rethought in a new context of online social forums.

I had a woman on MySpace object to some art I commented on her profile yesterday. Nothing new about this... I always have these problems, but this was a situation where her forum of friends are a hell of a lot more raunchy then I am. So it isn't so much that I might of not broken a law... but rather I did not trespass the context of the community of friends she hanged out with.

Which brings me back to my point of legal relativity. It would seem that there are many issues these days that exist in a murk of grays... and we need some kind of framework to prioritize what temporal boundaries are.

I sound like a Williams Burroughs novel: but some women really do sometimes try to break off communications... often times the ladies are elite social bays... if you friend a woman it can open up a whole cluster of opportunities. I consider the loss of a man a friend... and the loss of a woman's friendship... the loss of multiple men. On a quantitative scale... (and not a spiritual one) women are a much better connection. I spent five years working in marketing. Selling a product to a man meant selling one man. Entering into a cluster of Betty is a much better opportunity to benefit off of an immediate chain reaction of profit. On the other hand if you friend a man... there is a greater chance for a repeat business.

What's necessary in friendship is the ability to not necessarily understand, but to accept all aspects of the person who you are trying to make friends with. Can you accept those parts of me that you can't or refuse to understand, without it turning into a battle of the sexes?

I understand that sexuality is an issue for you with me... but I do not feel that it is sexuality that upsets you. I think you are milking this for what you can. your circle of friends have some pretty raunchy stuff... which leads me to believe that you are not asking for sensitivity... you are asking for a double standard. I can accept the part of you that isn't playing with power issues. I do not think gender and sex has anything to do with this. I understand this perfectly well. sexuality is a red herring... you are trying to assert control. I don't think you expect this control with other people. It is not me that is objectifying you. It is you who is dissecting me. I posted the same image on multiple accounts... many were people you know. they didn't complain... in fact they liked it. I think you liked it too.

Did I say that I can accept all parts of you? I only asked if you could do that with me. Had this been dropped long before this, I probably could have. But in all honesty, Noah, I don't come here to be critically analyzed or berated. You believe you know me, when you haven't a clue. You make mass generalizations which are entirely and you attempt to lump me in with them. I don't need it, Noah, nor do I need you. Cya!



IN CONCLUSION:


"Did I say that I can accept all parts of you? "

(1) WHICH CONTRADICTS THIS PREVIOUS STATEMENT ON YOUR DEFINITION OF FRIENDSHIP:

"What's necessary in friendship is the ability to not necessarily understand, but to accept all aspects of the person who you are trying to make friends with. Can you accept those parts of me that you can't or refuse to understand, without it turning into a battle of the sexes?"

BELOW THIS POINT YOU THEN DENY SAYING THAT YOU CAN'T ACCEPT ALL PARTS OF ME... THEREFOR YOUR THE ONE WHO HAS TAKEN CAUSTIC AND UNFRIENDLY ACTION BY YOUR OWN AXIUMS. I'M ENGAGING YOU LIKE A FRIEND SHOULD. IT IS CALLED DIALOGUE.

(2) WHY SHOULD I DROP THE FACT THAT YOU MAKE NO SENSE? AT VARIOUS POINTS YOU HAVE ASKED FOR ACCEPTANCE. THIS REQUEST HAS NOT BEEN STABLE... BUT IT IS HARD TO DROP SOMETHING THAT IS CONSTANTLY CHANGING.

(3)YOU WERE THE ONE WHO STARTED CRITICIZING MY POST

(4)YOU SHOULD TRY GENERALIZING A LITTLE BIT BECAUSE IT KEEPS YOUR LOGIC STABLE. YOUR ARGUMENTS FLUCTUATE SO MUCH THAT YOU DON'T LEAVE ME ANYTHING TO WORK WITH

(5)YOU MIGHT NOT NEED ME... BUT YOU SHOULD GET A SECOND OPINION SOMEWHERE ON WHAT YOUR SAYING HERE... BECAUSE I THINK A THIRD PERSON MIGHT SET YOU STRAIGHT ON THE FACT THAT YOUR NOT STABLE IN YOUR ARGUMENTS.

just ran downstairs. there was a birth control pay commercial that used the Twisted Sister song "We're not going to take it" as it's theme song? Had some Grrrl Punk rock group singing it. Is nothing sacred? Talk about subverting the angst of my generations fight against feminism. ack Tipper Gore strikes again. I'm not against birth control... but I just don't want to hear the BLUE STATE voice singing my song.

I just joined a group for the 8 month pregnant marine who was killed in Iraq... and I realized for once I had some kind of strange liquid in my eye when I read about a pregnant soldier who was murdered. I left a post... that asked for some details and realized that I was leaving behind an image of myself popping out of toilet. This idea that we universalize our image to where we leave a post is a bad thing. People might think I was insincere for the picture.

(it should be noted that facebook did respond to this and fixed this situation)

the next letter in to one of to Applications of facebook:
facebook informed me that my old account on facebook was disabled because they didn't like me inviting people. I had a lot of friends 
 and was not marketing anything. at any rate I need to update my
 FLIXSTER account to this facebook profile
.
I stopped using this account when I lost access to it on facebook.
 you need to fix this issue. I have talked to other services that
 work with facebook for example Yedda... and they have the ability to do this and did. I happened to know the people who ran Yedda...
 but I know for a fact if you wanted to you could fix this issue.

ah now the truth comes out. but the truth is facebook has been doing things that are not respectable. I was thrown off for using my own contact list to contact my own people. Can I help it that I know 7000? I was social before social networks.

I don't know if you were following the news... but Robert Scoble beat facebook on this same issue... so they are now reviewing the situation. If they do not take my side.... I WILL take legal action, because I believe that disabling someone for using their own contacts when they are not marketing a product is a form of Libel. It might be a good idea to work with me here... because your company could be seen as cooperating with a very illicit operation. Believe it or not... I'm not the only one who is very upset with the way facebook is treating people's information.

maybe you didn't hear about the "Beacon" either... but facebook is not loved by people right now.

the social networks need to understand that our contact information is our own... and we were just nice enough to share it with you. as I am speaking the industry is splintering because people are very tired of being bullied. Big name A-listers are talking about creating their own social networks with the new open social platform being proposed. I'm friends with many of those people and believe me they might like to know how flixster operates with it's users.

It's not that we can't do this; we simply choose not to. We respect Facebook's decisions to shut down individual users' accounts, and will not build an interface enabling banned users to migrate data. Whether to allow this is up to the discretion of each individual application.

ACK NOT PALESTINE AGAIN

Labels:

Method is a bad thing. Applying the same expectations in one place... as another or with one person or group as another is a huge mistake. IT SAYS THOUGH SHALT NOT KILL. Nothing is absolute. We defend our families from an attack. WE PROTECT OURSELVES FROM LETTING THE HOLOCAUST HAPPEN AGAIN... that does not mean there is no such thing as a just cause for war. When we apply a method in such a robotic and objective way... without looking into our hearts and realizing that often times there is a fine detail we can not see... we risk doing an absolute moral wrong because we could not see the truth in the axiums that were right before our faces. It is hard to understand today that the axiums of Nazi Germany made perfect sense... (they were using objectivity to make their society run smoother). Today when we use that same logic to try to say the fight of the Intifada is in parallel to the suffering of six million Jewish deaths... well then we are stuck in our own logic and not looking at the reality of the situation... which is that the enemy suffers too. They still deserve to be our enemy. We can empathize with their children... but when a missile launcher moves in next door to my house... I'm going to complain. For example the people of Lebanon did nothing. When all you see is cold logic. The monster is in your own face and in the person you think is wronging you. Yes it says... "THOU SHALT NOT KILL"... and in a greater sense occupation is wrong as well. So then I ask you... using pure logic should we let free murderers out of jail simply because they make babies? The logic of the left for the decade has been yes... and then they sit back and cry that they lose elections. You can't force people to not protect they're children. There is no justice to the Palestinian struggle. We have heard they're side of the story. We have given them a chance to appeal. DENIED! try again in forty years when your truly ready to make peace. In the mean time... the rest of the world should do everything they can to offer financial incentives for cooperation.... and not cash. If the rest of the world has so much sensitivity for the fate of the Palestinians... send your people to help and see how they get treated. In the mean time... tell Amnesty International to FUCK OFF! Because millions were dying in Darfur while they were looking at Israel. HYPOCRACY... and no sense of proportion are the true signs of racism. WE KNOW WHAT THE LEFT WAS UP TO... and we are holding the leaders accountable. That is why they lost power around the world. NOT JUST IN AMERICA.

It isn't just America that needed to protect it's children... after all the griping it turned out France did too and elected Sarkozy. You might think that Great Britain has turned to the left. It is a mirage. Blair is out... but the next government will be a conservative one. When you guise Leftism as hatred.... the people will reject your tyranny. That is why the Soviet empire fell. It is why all moral tyrannies fall. In the end if the Palestinians want peace, It is in their hands. The rest of the world likes to point to Israel to avoid their own responsibilities. Makes it easier to oppress their own constituents. The truth came out... and the sad fringe that is left of the LEFT is still crying like the Palestinians cry now. How much more will they be counter productive before they realize that Israel has nothing to gain from their suffering and everything to gain for their cooperation. I talk every day with Israelis. I'm telling you they don't want this... but we will be talking next year about how peace fell short again. Jerusalem was on the table... they didn't take it. WHAT MORE DO THEY WANT? well BLOOD of course. Nothing would be easier then mass murder. I WON'T LET IT HAPPEN.

I WANT SOME MORE OF THAT CHEESECAKE. I DON'T CARE IF STRUMPETTE.COM IS ON A DIET

COWARDLY LION

Labels: » » »



as far as crying in politics. I saw Bill Clinton do the "I feel your pain" bit and we saw Bill Clinton cry when he apologized about Lewinsky's pizza party, but "Defensive Crying when taking a loss" remains a technique that no man has ever done in history. Hilary was definitely "ACTING" like a woman when she broke down in New Hampshire and said her run for president was "DEEPLY PERSONAL". I thought she was supposed to be represent all Americans? How much more are we going to accept her double standard? If any man behaved like she does we would label them a "COWARDLY LION".

Apologies for not offending you yet... I'm working on it
