FERNBROOK RESORT FREELTON: Why Couldn’t Caroline Cope With A Facebook Comment? Part III

FERNBROOK RESORT FREELTON: Why Couldn’t Caroline Cope With A Facebook Comment? Part III

How did the Facebook community of Fernbrook Resort react to the post of a Purple PT Cruiser with a black top’s questionable driving habits?

“When driving the sometimes perilous roads of Fernbrook I take care. Especially when pedestrians are present. Tonight, as I was walking to the clubhouse, a Purple PT Cruiser with a black top zoomed by me very closely, approximately 3 inches away. If I had extended my elbow I could have hit the car. Nice driving Bobby Rahal – you’re a sure bet to win the Fernbrook 500 next spring.”   

There was at least eighty reads, a number of thumbs up and one quasi-supportive comment which also received several thumbs up.

     But not one thumbs down.

     Not one negative comment.

     Nothing.

     So it seemed like the community at large were in complete agreement. That drivers should be courteous when driving. That walkers should be aware when walking. And that all should be respectful of each other. Share the road. 

"Eat my dust Fernbrook Losers," beeped a triumphant PT Cruiser

As we are going to learn however at least one person found that Facebook post to be distasteful and chock full of harassment. Because when I went back to the Fernbrook Information and News site I noticed that the post was gone. It had lasted bout 40 hours, there were no negative comments or thumbs down, yet the post had disappeared.

Was there a problem with what was published? Even though there were no negative comments or remarks.
