For an extra delicious serving of "that happened", the guy who wrote this posted this message the next day:
Strange Morning...... I went to bed last night thinking things calmed down. I was at 5600ish shares when my head hit the pillow. I woke up at 6 am with about 8200 shares, which was far less a pace considering I slept 6 hours. Just looked, 11K Shares. More on that in a few.....
My Facebook message inbox was full of messages of praise and support. Regular people thanking me for my service. People offering a lot of beer, and a few good meals. There were also fellow handlers past and present telling similar stories to mine. I did receive one negative message calling me a liar and asking why I'd make a story like that up. To those strangers that offered up messages of support I want you to know I really appreciate it.
I jumped in the shower a short time later. When I got out I had a message from a good friend asking what happened to my account. He couldn't Facebook Message me or see anything I had posted.... EVER. I opened Facebook to find my account had been suspended. Why? My name.
About a year ago, out of an abundance of caution due to what I did for a living, I changed how my name was displayed on Facebook. While no specific threats were made, there were plenty of general threats that I had a hard time ignoring. I would be devastated if harm came to my family or friends because of my chosen profession.
Facebook suspended my account until my name could be Verified. The timing of it was interesting. They wanted me to provide government ID. Which ultimately I did not end up providing. End Result? As you can see my profile is back up and running. However, I feel like this won't be the end of this type of "Contact."
Finally, I'd like to speak to my motivations two nights ago. I posted that Hillary encounter while watching her speech at the DNC. I was typing as she spoke. I was simply telling a story I have told a hundred times. Never did I think I would reach this level of popularity. Let me reiterate from earlier posts.... I do not support any candidate for President. I can't envision any candidate doing the job at the level that the American people deserve. I'm still waiting for a Candidate to earn my vote. This regrettably may not happen in 2016.
TL;DR My post went kinda sorta viral, Facebook suspended my account because I had a funky name, I don't support a Presidential candidate.
