Mae West: Facebook Bounced Mae

MAE WEST [1893 — 1980] bid farewell to Hollywood on November 22nd, a date that is fast approaching. If any of you delightful Mae-mavens would like to write a commemorative piece for the Mae West Blog, please let me know right away.
• • Facebook Kicked Me Out • •
• • Those of you who belong to the spirited Mae West Group on Facebook, a cosy circle that's been so much fun, and where I had worn the hat of the Moderator, have perhaps realized that FB disabled my account today without cause nor a warning. I will be doing a follow-up post on that topic.
• • No, I did not "unfriend" you! • •
• • However, for the moment, I did not want any of my delightful friends or followers to harbor an inaccurate notion, for instance, that perhaps Mae "un-friended" you. I did not leave my FB flock willingly. Instead I was given the boot and had no say in the matter.
• • You can always reach me right here. Thank you. To be continued. ...
• •
By the Numbers • •
• • The Mae West Blog was started seven years ago in July 2004. You are reading the 2117th blog post. Unlike many blogs, which draw upon reprinted content from a newspaper or a magazine and/ or summaries, links, or photos, the mainstay of this blog is its fresh material focused on the life and career of Mae West, herself an American original.

    OMG. THEY BOUNCED YOU?! SOUNDS LIKE ANOTHER RIGHT-WING CONSPIRACY - JUST LIKE THE OLD DAYS WHEN THEY ARRESTED YOU FOR "SEX" - OR WHATEVER THE NAME OF THAT PLAY WAS!!! THIS IS AN OUTRAGE - CONSIDER THIS A FORMAL COMPLAINT. FB ARE AHOLES. Other than that - how's your morning? ~Willy Boy.

  3. • • Yep, Facebook showed me the door and then locked it, William. Unfortunate and unwarranted and quite annoying, eh? Thanks for thinking of me.

  6. • • Romain, mon ange, how I miss you! Facebook said they disabled "Mae West" because they are sweeping the site of all accounts with a (ahem) "fake name" — — but I believe this to be inaccurate.
    • • In my opinion, Facebook wants full names + legal addresses on file so they can SELL the information to corporations for profit.
    • • Mon amour, please keep The FB MAE WEST GROUP humming, will you? Thank you. I send my love!! xoxo
