Same. Please clue us in. Is it recent?
I just noticed EJ showed 0 rep points and no sig and such and so wondered if he had been banned or left of his own accord or just what happened.

But I have seen more than one life basically shot to hell over what people choose to post in facebook. One person my wife is acquainted with got jail time since she posted that she hadn't paid taxes in 5 years, bragging about how much she would owe, so someone turned her in apparently, not sure of the whole story but I know it started with a facebook post. Another threatened to come to work with a gun and kill their supervisor. That person had a cop in his friends list who reported it and I gather he was arrested at one point over the whole thing and lost his job, and had to move out of the area (relatively small town in NV) because then he couldn't find employment since everyone heard about it. I try to teach my kids to be very very very careful what they post on social media, and I just plain do not participate (other than google+ for ingress, but post nothing personal on there, ever). It can have far-reaching ramifications.
You can hide your rep points with a settings change.
I will leave it up to him to speak. I will not be telling takes out of school
Sent from your moms room.... While she was sleeping.
There's a saying out there in the interwebs. "Myspace is how people cheated on their exes...Facebook is how they got caught." If you think about it, this saying does not just deal with relationship issues. It touches on the concepts that the internet is forever and that everyone is on the internet. And the latter part of that sentence is the most important part. By everyone I mean, killers, pedophiles, deranged folk, depressed folk, angry people, everyone. And since those people are online, you have to treat the decisions you make online, the posts you make online, with common sense. Doxxing is a reality on the internets and it happens all the time, just like a type of justice happens as a result of the internet.
Many people have yet to adjust their outlook when dealing with the internet and end up paying dearly. The internet has no conscience.
Imagine how many people were pusing over rock formations in Goblin Valley and never got caught, because there was no Facebook or YouTube. Now people do it, post it, and get caught. It ain't rocket science people.
But back on point:
I've noticed Trout's absence as well. But then again, I knew about it already.

I say give em a hefty fine, at least 30 days in jail and demand a public apology(or cut their ****ing hands off either one). This type of vandalism should not be tolerated.

Or you could just teach your kids to pay taxes and not threaten people with guns....

Logs point is a valid one.
For instance many employers are checking peoples facebook now. Posting something even slightly crude might be the difference between getting hired and not.

I get that, but the examples he used were not about employers checking Facebook. They were about tax evasion and murder threats.
I never understood how an employer can check your faceboook page unless you have no security whatsoever on it.
