This is what i wrote: * Marie Kazalia has a poem in the new issue of Itch magazine, an art and literary magazine published in South Africa www.itch.co.za also accepting submissions... * I was blocked by Facebook from posting anymore, for from a few hours to a few days, with possible permanent closing of my Facebook account. I think I posted this to less than 10 of my writing groups I have belonged to for months and receive lots of message from. I wasn't selling anything. Just announcing a publication, as is often done by poets and writers. Some people in these groups I have known for many years--I've been a poet for a long time. Big brother can be overwhelming at times. I thought I would try my first email blast by posting the same comment to my writing groups on Facebook. This is what i wrote:
