By now you all know that W.C. Gibbs has been locked up after admitting he had ricin in his car. What can we say other than he's a bloody idiot. We can only imagine his reasons the same as the police would. If he'd asked any Creator about whether he should or should not proceed, any of us would have told him a definite No!
See https://creativityalliance.com/forum/index.php/topic,9424.0.html
That Gibbs was new and some of us had noted some odd behaviour by Creator standards, only meant that he had much to learn. Nevertheless, nobody expected anything like this.
Further, we have good reason to prevent our own from committing planned criminal acts, and we typically expel them from the Church should they not be dissuaded. If we don't, we all become subject to state persecution because of the stupidity of one Creator. Well, we didn't know what Gibbs planned and he's going to be locked up now for anywhere from 16 years to 25 years - that's providing they don't hit him with further charges, which will lead to him being locked up for anywhere from 40 to 60 years. So, no matter what we intended to do, the JOG have taken Gibbs off our hands.
Those are the facts.
They are not up for discussion.
Now to the point of this topic: Less than 24 hours after Gibbs' arrest hit the headlines, I was notified that I was in breach of Facebook's terms of service for an image I uploaded a couple of years ago. Another 24 hours later and I was blocked from using Facebook Messenger. As you all know, this is extremely unusual behaviour, even for Facebook. Sure, they block our accounts regularly enough that we learned not to rely on them, but to wait 24 hours and then block me from Messenger as well is odd.
In response, I have taken the liberty of Deleting all conversation histories from Messenger. I have not Archived them, I have deleted them from your system as well as mine. Although we have nothing to hide, I simply do not trust the JOG and I will not give them an inch.
As for Facebook, we would have to be insane to trust a business organisation that boasts that it reports everything you say and do directly to government agencies the world over. If the FBI are not interfering with my Facebook account, you can bet your balls that the Facebook monkeys themselves will, if only in order to get their rocks off.
@Cailen.Note: Within 24 hours of my being blocked from FB Messenger, and at approximately the same time as this text was posted, Gibbs' FB profile was closed - presumably on orders of the FBI.
Also, by sheer coincidence and another first, I have apparently run out of bandwidth with my own home Internet Service Provider. That means my internet access for the next week will be limited. Update: At least that problem's been rectified.
