Thanks, DM. Of course, now my post below looks out of sync, since what it is referring to is gone.

But it’s better than keeping such an inflammatory post on the site.

I’ve taken down the post in question because I have a real issue with people who blanket my site with the same damn “look at this” link on multiple posts.

If you were so concerned, you’d forward it to the Chief, not post it on a blog…multiple times. To me it just looks like a smear campaign.

J. Doe,

That’s a very strong accusation. What you are seeing is the result of a couple of quizzes he has taken. So he didn’t write that on his wall; it was the results of those quizzes. I can understand why this would upset someone, but without knowing the officer personally, it’s safer to err on the side of caution. Are you sure you’re not inviting a libel suit?

Officer,
If you’re seeing this, you might consider changing your Facebook settings so that only friends can see your information. When you join a network (in this case, Atlanta, GA), it automatically allows others in that network to see your information.

Everyone,
I recommend extreme caution on making blanket statements like this about anyone you don’t personally know. Facebook is not a good place to get to know someone.
