Jostein, I don't understand how it come to be that you inferred from my reasoning that common sense and law don't apply somewhere, say on FB? I would appreciate an explanation, even if off-list.
Then, I did not mean to imply that FB were criminals. I meant to illustrate the point that this specific lady struck me as a very special kind of individual - one that is more preoccupied with righteousness than with anything else. I may be wrong, but at least I tried to clarify my view. I think that FB is too big a community to have it change their practices based on experience of a single individual. It is in fact a very interesting issue, because FB is not democratic by design. The rules are not produced by mutual discussion of FB members, but rather are given. But I sense this will lead us even further off the original topic. Cheers!
