scobleizer.com — So, why did they kick him off? Because he triggered some sort of automatic alert that he was participating in spamming behavior.?Did you get a warning,? I asked Comm.?Yes. When we were sending the messages we got a warning and we stopped,? Comm says.?Why did they kick you off then?? I asked.?I don?t know, I stopped after they warned me.

Below you will find one of the comments posted on scobleizer.com in response to robert's post that i have submitted for your digging pleasure...i find that it makes a great counter point-----------begin quoted text---------------Oh and one more thing……don’t forget: “Omnia Vanitas”I know it seems hard to believe but the world won’t end despite the diabolical silencing of Joel Comm by the evil and all powerful facebook.For most of us good ole’ everyday folk, the kind facebook was designed for, the kind that don’t worry about the limitations because we will never ever reach, or even get close to them, the kind that use facebook for what it was intended - networking with FRIENDS (does anyone really believe you can have 4999 of those?) none of this really matters much.If your on the social web to make a noise and promote yourself or your crap - go ahead have a ball. I ain’t gonna stand in your way - god knows I’m guilty of the same sins.If you’re good at it - kudos. Write a book. Hell, I might buy it.My only reservation is: Don’t come crying to momma (or Robert Scoble) when the services you’re MANIPULATING for you’re own private gain shut you down. They were never designed for what you are doing and they have every right to protect themselves from people like you.Joel Comm may have written a positive review of facebook.Good for him.Do they owe him anything?Let’s say all of his 4,999 friends + 900 in waiting joined facebook because of him - that makes Joel responsible for 5,899/120,000,000 percent (0.000045) of facebook’s community. Let him take his friends and start his own little playground. If he sens me an invite I promise I’ll join - he looks like a helluva person to know.Don’t get me wrong - I commiserate - I just don’t think this is the drama you are playing it up to be, and from what you share of Joel Comm’s impressive biography, I doubt he really does either…: )Cheers,Mike-----------end quoted text---------------and mike if you see this... thanks for bringing this issue down to earthand sorry for ripping your comment off pretty much wholesale
