Facebook help, please: Ron Pauler getting very weird with me.

[Fire Walk With Me]

I blocked him after being polite, and he somehow Messaged me twice after that, with a veiled threat. I find no way to report the individual messages, and unblocked to report the anomaly. Reporting only asks you to send it to a friend, has no Facebook contact for this, and I'm not finding anything in the Help pages. Here are the conversations with only the names removed. I'm the Fawkes icon. I blocked him immediately after my last message.

Okay, I eventually found to unblock and report the Message conversation.

I know that some Anons are Ron Paul supporters. I ask you, if somehow I have been targeted, and I truly hope not: How would attacking me for not wishing to follow Ron Paul be any different than the government attacking us because the 1% don't like #Occupy? Please do not become the same thing we are attempting to stop from happening! I support Anonymous and the fight for freedom! Freedom to make my own choice is what is important! Fascism from a corporation or from a computer, what would then be the difference?

1. Block the creep and move on.

They're insane.

[Fire Walk With Me]

2. And they're Messaging me after being Blocked, and are "talking with other #OLA members".

I'm taking this more seriously than a Block.

[Luminous Animal]

3. I wish I knew how to help. You are a good guy and I hope someone can jump in

to assist you.

In the meantime, don't respond is the best advice I can give you.

[Luminous Animal]

4. Rereading your OP, they are swarming you. That means you are effective.

Again, my advice is do not respond and keep you eyes on the prize. Pretend they are not there and, ultimately they will leave you alone.

[Fire Walk With Me]

6. So far it's just this guy and what I hope is a Facebook bug.

And one is enough, talking about enemies and contacting #OLAers...perhaps theyr'e all having the same results with him as I have.

[Luminous Animal]

8. Just sit back and relax. You've got the knowledge of a a proud history of

revolutionary history to back you up. He'd be a Tory during the American Revolution. A slave owner prior to the civil war. A sweatshop owner during the industrial revolution. A Jim Crow bigot during the civil rights movement.

Don't engage him, no matter the provocation.

[jberryhill]

5. I've managed to avoid attacks on Facebook...

...by not using Facebook.

[Luminous Animal]

7. I've written letters to the editor (published in the print edition)

and received hate mail. I could have avoided attacks by keeping my mouth shut and not engaging in a public forum.

[Starry Messenger]

9. Paulites=political Scientologists.

Utterly relentless.

[Fire Walk With Me]

10. This was my final reply to him:

I am not an anarchist, I am not "using" it (Occupy), and you are out of line here for attacking me because I don't want to watch your videos. You're not giving me a choice and that is incredibly insulting and worse, unAmerican. I believe in freedom and you are telling me what to do and attacking me when I won't do it. How am I supposed to even begin to explain the problem here? If you were banned somewhere, please consider that it is because you are demanding respect but giving exactly none.

11. I wish I could help, but I can't even reason with my mother

I'd post the crazy-ass email she just sent me, but it's too embarrassing to admit I'm related to someone who would write that.

12. Ron Paul is a racist at best and...

panders to racists at worst. That is really all I need to know. But, he is also on the Republican ticket and hasn't denounced the general insanity of the party. It seems some people have just latched onto a few of his ideas and they think that makes him up in the entirety and it most definitely does not.

[ornotna]

13. "Oh so you only latch onto other peoples opinions that you agree with."

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black.

[JVS]

14. I'd be kind of worried about anyone who indiscriminately latches onto other people's opinions.

[B Calm]

15. My advice: Get off Facebook!

[Fire Walk With Me]

17. This guy knows my ID at DU. Would I also run from here?

I use Ignore; if there is gossip and FUD, it is up to others to also Ignore it.

[customerserviceguy]

19. At least here

you would have the moderators and/or administrators to back you up. It's a violation of the TOS to back a Rethug candidate, and right now, that's what Paul is.

As for Facebook, the only thing it's good for is maybe finding dates from where you used to go to high school or something like that. It's a sewer, and you should expect to find turds like this one floating in it.

[Fire Walk With Me]

22. Oddly and sadly, this has been my only negative experience at FB. Shame it involves #Occupy. nt

[Fire Walk With Me]

16. I believe I need to clarify:

When I discuss the GA replacing the government, I am talking evolution and the will of the people as they regain and utilize their voice. I love America and I am non-violent. What I don't love and wish to see changed to represent the will of the people, is this fascism: "We’re seeing Washington and Wall Street working so closely together that you really can’t tell the difference between them...The government officials we are trusting and paying to look out for Americans are using those positions to get really nice, high-paying jobs in private-sector places, including Wall Street, that are effectively being used as bribes." - Leah Goodman, The Asylum

www.zerohedge.com/contributed/twas-friday-christmas (Thank you to DUer elehhhhna for this.)

I am not saying we need to be violent. I am not saying we need to storm the government. I AM saying we need to continue to STAND UP AGAINST THE GOVERNMENT AND BE HIGHLY VOCAL ABOUT IT WHEN THE GOVERNMENT HAS BEEN PURCHASED and we have descended into true fascism. Those who have bought the government will attempt to use it to stifle all Constitutional rights, so they may continue to be able to control and prosper. They have overthrown our government, the government of the people, for the people, by the people. They are treasonous. We are demanding an end to this. They will resist. We will resist with even more strength. Or we will have fascism, with its corresponding iron fist into the faces of the average American (see the bills these very people are attempting to pass to create THEIR laws, such as SOPA, the NDAA, etc.).

#Occupy.

18. My wife is the resident FB expert in our household and she tells me that,

even though you have remvoed someone from your 'list,' they can still participate in threads that you both were previously participants in. So there may be no practical way to 'block' this RP person from this FB thread.

However, if you simply ignore him and don't engage further on this particular thread, he'll be speaking to him- or herself in a FB vacuum or echo chamber.

[vaberella]

20. I don't get your post and I see no veiled threat.

If the blocking method didn't work; all you have to do is ignore the guy and he'll stop. Not to mention if he's on your friend list then you can minimize the access he has on your FB.

Additionally this just proves why I try to move a bit away from OWS crew. I am sure many there are caring people---much the way some in the tea party started off as. But there are some in that crew who are and have become devoted Ron Paul followers---- which fits perfectly with Ron Paul---since he can use the OWS people to turn on the FED if he wanted too and this would turn into his cause giving him a good following.

And anyone supporting that racist is a racist in my book.

[Fire Walk With Me]

21. This guy is a true piece of work:

Him

Keep us down on their level

You should have kept me blocked. You are the one harassing me.

You are the one wanting to stay ignorant to the facts.

Me

Stop messaging me.

Him

I would have never known that you had unblocked me if you has not messaged me this morning. So we will continue to chat.

After you blocked me I deleted our corispondence.

Now you open more dialog.

Why is it you refuse to see every point of view before making a decission? What are you really protesting? The right to stay uninformed?

Me

I have reported you again. You are showing me through force what RP and his followers must be all about. You are the example and education for me in this regard. Congratulations at permanently turning someone away from him.

Him

You were already permanently turned away.

You had already made the choice.

My intention was to never convince you of voting for anyone.

I was just sharing an

I was sharing another point of view.

Which you refuse to consider.

Me

You refuse to consider my repeated request to stop messaging me.

Him

So go ahead and report me but I have never cursed much less said anything offensive.

As I said you should have never messaged me in the first place.

You sent me, a stranger, a friend request.

[Fire Walk With Me]

23. It gets better: (You have to unblock someone to report them, and then you can't reblock for 2 days!

Now you want me to stop messaging you.

The best thing you ever did was block me

the worst thing you did was unblock me

so get used to it

(snipping much nonsense)

Just maybe you will think twice before friending strangers on a social networking site.

strangers that must agree with you or be silenced.
