Yup, maintaining one of FBs group pages DOES take a lot of effort, which is why many pages have many people helping out with the research, the making of photos, writing posts, moderating etc...

I do it all myself...

During the Earth Summit in Rio, back in June, there were over 100,000 folks reading the page on a daily basis...Usually it balances out between 4 to 10 thousand, depending on what's going on with Belo Monte...

But I'd not expect most of the folks on here to understand any of that, nor believe it...but of course, they visit many pages themselves without any thought as to who, or how many, are maintaining and creating those pages...

And yes, I agree with Bruce, this is no 'debate' at all, just the Old-Fashioned Mudcat Days of 'See The Prey and Pounce'

But then, again, I did NOT start this thread, or this 'debate'...see previous explanation above.

Close the thread if you so wish...I couldn't give a fuck any longer after many of the things that have been said in here..

I'm off to do far more important things and the great thing about my FB page is that when The Bastards come-a-callin' I zap 'em, instantly....

Racist Bastard? Zap!
Bullying Bastard? Zap!
Condescending Bastard? Zap!
Patronizing Bastard? Zap!
Anti-Leonard Peltier Bastard? ZAPPPP!
Tiresome "Why do you post so much, it upsets me and I may leave this page!" Bastard - ZAP!
Bossy "I really don't like it when you say bad things about the Christian Church" Bastard? - ZAP!!
Intolerant "You should ONLY post about Belo Monte!" Bastard? - ZAPP!!

And so, I'm left with one helluva lot of GREAT people who do ALL they can to spread the word and bring others in, who phone up and write to Embassies, Newspapers, TV and Radio Stations, who phone the White House on behalf of Leonard Peltier..it's bloody WONDERFUL...and most of the feckers in this thread couldn't do ANY of it at all, which is why they get their knickers in such a twist, for all they can do is throw insults, as a group, on here, feeling buoyed up by each other and considering it Hunting Season Time...and no, Jeri, that's not me going "WHAAAA!", it's just me stating 'fact'...

I'll leave you with Andrew Windyboy

Have a good evening...
