Unfreaking Believable

Today, because one of my facebook friends has had her account disabled for no good reason, I have been googling ....


and getting more and more angry.


How is it possible that companies like Facebook and Zynga can just keep taking our money and then - without warning, without explanation, and without recourse, just wipe out our accounts, games, farms, whatever?


How long would YOU keep buying clothes, a car, furniture, whatever - if the people you buy it from retained the right to come and take it back for no reason whenever the hell they wanted - and you wouldn't have any way to argue it?


Any company that worked that way wouldn't be in business long, would they?


Would you buy stock in them?


Nope, me either....


and I'll no longer be spending any money on FC, either.....    so once my current cash is gone, I will be done with the trees.


Not a huge loss, anyway ... now that they are swamping us with 20 or more trees a week - some of which we can NOT buy ... it's impossible to keep up and impossible to maintain a complete collection anyway.


It is too bad no one at Zynga can be bothered to spend an hour thinking about how and why their players play.


It is too bad no one at Zynga can be bothered to spend an hour thinking about how to keep their loyal players loyal.


And it is too bad no one at Facebook can be bothered to redesign their warning/disabling system so that it is FAIR. Clarity around the cause of being kicked from the site would be a damn good place to start - but they also need a fair review process.


Both of these companies IPOs make me laugh - they ain't worth a pinch of coon shit given their current (lack of fair) business practices.


Who the hell is buying these stocks?
