It's possible I read your comments as more vitriolic than they were given the crossfire that's going on in there.

And why I can't seem to comment on any posts now?. My comments were on the FB post, I don't feel like I broke any guidelines, I certainly wasn't offensive- on a post regarding the use of the word 'animals' to describe humans, I feel I articulated my views politely and respectfully. I'm aware it is an emotive topic, I did not insult any race or religion, I did not abuse any other commentators on the page nor did I justify Trumps actions in a context. The only thing I did on 2 comments was say that I believed that those who are part of dangerous gangs like that have no humanity and therefore don't deserve to be called human. Another comment showed about how words have power, I emphasised that yes words have power but it is important to know that people also have power, within context I used 'n*****' (exactly like that) to show an example of changing language within sub-cultures. If somehow that is offensive then I apologise .<br /><br />In short, I'm wondering what I did wrong as I've been stopped from commenting on that post and others, my comments have also been deleted.i also cannot message the page directly so I'm having to do it on here. No warning or justification for this has been given. As a long time fan of your page and all the amazing effort and energy you put into the community, I'm confused and find myself quite disappointed..it certainly wasn't my intention to distress anyone if that has been the case? <br /><br />Thank you,<br /><br />Carrie Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07806144077358823821noreply@blogger.com
