Pussycat Catnap Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 Even if this were not April 1st and full of people who think they're being funny... Anyone who is fool enough to cancel an account to something because of something said on a third party unverified blog kind of deserves it, and really shouldn't be allowed online without supervision anyway.

On the SL forum the word "Facebook" is basically the equivalent of words like "Communism" at a country club or "Broccoli" in an elementary school - it's a concept of fear and disgust far outstripping its real-world characteristics.

Perrie Juran Posted April 1, 2014 Share Posted April 1, 2014 In Breaking News Facebook has threatened to sue CarolinesTravels unless she promptly prints a retraction of her Article. Shortly after it's publication, Facebook stock plunged 25 points. Facebook is claiming she has done irreparable damge to their reputation with her false reporting.

0seagypsy0 Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 I'm pretty sure the idea of her being sued is yet another april fools joke. It's not like she was picking on Prince. Then you could believe a lawsuit threat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may never be able to post a link here again if you keep this going. I did feel I needed to check the Hoff Crotch one in your earlier post (just to be sure of things, of course) but these last three look too dangerous even for a wary browser like me :-).

I would probably have to move the site to a more powerful server. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Caroline Takeda Posted April 3, 2014 Author Share Posted April 3, 2014 Ok, this was meant to be an Aprils Fools joke.
