Following in the footsteps of La Coacha and Lindsay Lohan, Fred Turd’s facebook account was deleted without warning. WTF!? Facebook is the devil. Here is what they wrote to me:

Hi,

Fake names are a violation of our Terms of Use.  Facebook requires users to provide their full first and last names (i.e. no initials).  Nicknames can be used in the form of FirstName ‘NickName’ LastName, but only if they are a variation on your real first or last name, such as ‘Bob’ instead of ‘Robert’.  Additionally, please note that impersonating anyone or anything is prohibited.

If you would like to use this profile again, just get back to us with your real name, and we will reactivate the account for you.

Thanks for your understanding,

Fake name? What gives? Fred Turd is my name; talk about discrimination. Here is some of what I wrote back:

…Lindsay Lohan recently told us Facebook deleted her account as well. This is incredibly outrageous and you really need to alter your rules a bit. This isn’t Nazi Germany, it’s a website. Perhaps a slight warning before deleting someone’s account will do. You owe your devoted users that at least, but it seems you don’t care much for your users. Now, I would love to sign back on, but only as Fred Turd, because that’s my name. If that can be allowed, fantastic. If not, then I guess Myspace will have to do.

Facebook can suck my left nut!

  2. Coacha, my advice is NEVER email Facebook about anything. They’ll just delete you. Be VERY careful.
