Utterly laughable that GNE allowed Ian's initial response to stay on. Obviously are doing this Facebook thing very half heartedly
I've said it before but again, I find both Ian and Andy's attitudes disgusting and I'm appalled by the pair of them. I may even write to GNE (I never write/email to companies) to pass it on. They are acting like trolls to be frank
I don't blame you. I've just written to them, but I'm not holding my breath. I'll post the response once I get it.
I know of one instance when he commented on a young girls query, mocking her because of her spelling and poor grammar. GNE were told, nothing was done. It was only when GNE were advised that Facebook would be informed, that action was taken and his comments removed.
Obviously a ban wasnt forthcoming.
At the time, it was pretty obvious, even by looking at her profile picture, she was under 18 and the spelling, grammar etc indicated to everyone, she obviously had some sort of learning difficulty.
Rather than contact customer services, who will be aware of him - anyone who doesn't like his posts, comments or attitude, maybe the best form of action is to take it higher.
please see copy of extract of message below sent to GNE which I have seen personally.
xxxxxxx: Hey GNE I normally dont get involved in the petty 'remove the post by...' comments - but the post by the odious, arrogant and ignorant Ian Hignett regarding Morgan Mad Dodds and her spelling is offensive and needs removing. He seems intent on winding up and causing offence with his blunt comments, but he has gone too far this time - bearing in mind, it looks like Morgan has some sort of learning difficulty. Pretty sure if anyone else had discriminated against
him, then he would not appreciate it one bit. 24 November 2012
xxxxxxx: I notice you havent removed Ian Hignett's post re Megan Dodds. Please be aware that I will be contacting facebook regarding his blatant breach of Facebook terms and conditions and your failure to act on it. The poster is obviously under 16 and has some sort of learning difficulty, you have been notified of the post, the inflamtatory nature of the post (bearing in mind his previous history) and have not acted on this. Had the post been directed towards you and included swearing or obscene language, then I am sure it would have been removed...
