I ignored the first time I saw it happen here. Clearly you can't imagine what it felt like to be told your dead friend was posting. I rushed over to FB. I wondered if someone had hacked her profile. I realized it was just a stupid FB glitch and that there was no activity. Then, it happens again. Now the person is casting aspersions on the politician and party my dead friend supported while posting details about her FB. So yeah. I found it upsetting. For many reasons. I guess, since I actually really cared about her, it's kind of a turn of the knife to be reminded she won't be posting any more. I think about her enough already, to have someone posting inane inaccurate stuff about her Facebook is painful. I don't expect it to be painful to you- you weren't best friends. But if your kid died, and some of your kid's friends started saying things like "Hey, I got a text from <your dead kid>- and it says he LOVES Obama, and really hates wingnuts" You might find it upsetting. It might be more annoying if the kids involved started telling other people about it, people who didn't have access to your kids texts. It's an analogy. It's not perfect. And as for posting the crap to the little ones who follow me? That doesn't reflect on Rambi. She wouldn't care. She's gone. She wanted the thread clear of conflict because when she was alive, that's what she liked. Since she no longer exists, except in our memories, it really doesn't matter. She cared about guarding her personal information- not protecting her thread. So that's pretty much that.
