A Facebook Dictatorship

      
     I have to admit that I like Facebook.  I don't love it, but I like what it stands for and what it does and is capable of doing.  I have my homepage and about 140 or so friends.  I am certainly not like some of these assholes with 2,500 plus friends.  That is such bullshit and I really doubt that anyone can have such an excessive amount of friends.  Besides, we all know they don't even know 90% of them, but I really could care less.
I do however belong to a few groups. One of them I particularly like and especially enjoy spending some time on. I purposely will not be very specific as I don't want to embarrass certain people and additionally don't want to infringe on the privacy of this group. With that being said, this group is about a certain geographical location in upstate New York that at one time was a thriving area for resort hotels and bungalow colonies.  It is something that both myself and the almost 4,000 members hold dearly and like me either grew up there or spent many summers there enjoying the area.  It is usually a nice, fun, entertaining, informative, etc. group where all of the members are nice to each other..............
Except for yesterday.............Yesterday morning, yours truly was accused of being a dictator, and self appointed head of this group along with making all the rules and regulations......Whoa Nelly.......There was lots of other stuff this person said and none of it was very nice.  I am not the leader......I am not in charge.....I am not a dictator......But......I guess I am that type of person that does push things a little to the edge and probably posts some edgy stuff.  But again, in my defense, my postings usually make for an interesting thread with lots of activity around it.....That is a good thing.
     Well, I really had to do something about that. (BTW, she sent me all this nasty stuff in a private message along with lots of crap about others in the group ) . I really didn't know what to do, because I really did not want to embarrass this person, but then I got another nasty private message.........OK Bitch......Game On......... So I did what any red blooded American guy would do. I posted her private message to me which had reference to many others in the group, calling them stupid, fat, old dumb asses, and several others.  But I was still nice and did not include her name.........Let the war begin.......within an hour there were 100 plus comments from others in the group.  They only wanted to know her name and it was getting wild....I was still being a gentlemen and holding back.........until another private mail came to me calling me a yutz, asshole, etc.......That was it....After all, a dictator should be able to do what he wants.  I posted her other message and then the individual attacks began between this Bitch and some of the other people in the group.

     
Let the catfight begin and so it did.  It was wonderful. It went on til late last night and I am only sorry that I had to go out for dinner and miss some of the fun live. I did however manage to catch up on everything when I returned.  Well, by the end of the night there were some 400 posts in the thread and some were just a riot.  This morning all was peaceful and the bitch seems to have vanished, or somehow facebook stoned or facebook burned at the stake.
Bottom line is, "There is nothing like a good Catfight".
