====================================================================== Rule #1: YOU MUST clip all extraneous text when replying to a message. ======================================================================
Am I to infer that Sebastian is leaving Facebook? If so that would be a real loss. There is NO-ONE I know who shares such incredibly valuable material. I don't know most of the nasty, childish commenters, but if they're all like the one I do know -- Sam Charles Hamad, a reactionary, openly anti-working class Muslim Brotherhood supporter and Pham Binh sycophant -- they can all kiss my ass.
