2. Recommended, even though it didn't show. Yet.
For shame, facebook.

3. I suppose they have the right, but it really pisses me off, too.
These pics SHOULD be seen!

(And as another DUer posted on a different Jesus-as-pepper spray-victim 'cartoon') -- Jesus? How apt.

6. It is still in my wall album, but the Wall post and another are deleted by someone
Hackers? Server error? Who knows, but they are gone!

9. Why on earth would facebook remove only yours? That makes no sense.
I posted one myself, and I see tons of those all over facebook! Something may have happened, but it wasn't deliberate censorship. I would like to say "get a grip", but it sounds ruder than I mean it to be. But how about it, get a grip.

11. Apparently, I posted it too many times on Occupy sites, and It is bundled into text only now
but that does not explain where the other post went. Those were share posts, so maybe someone else deleted the originals????

15. My spouse sees about two dozen of Lt Pepper Spray offerings each day.
I don't think those are being censored.

17. So, I reposted and all is well.
My impression is Facebook reduces multiple posts of the same image to a "photo" link to save themselves bandwidth.

If they were "censoring" the reaction would be FATAL to their business. Easier to get Congress to do the dirty work on this front!
