If someone insulted you repeatedly on YOUR Facebook page,
what would you do?
We are blessed to have so many advocates within the Native
Hawaiian community. We do however have a
few aunties who like to exaggerate details. Exaggerating details can sometimes be fun. Exaggerating helps provoke emotions in people to
get them to do something, or to choose not to do something.
Sometimes, exaggerations need to be pointed out so that
people can understand things more clearly.
Below is a screen capture that actually “captures” how
one particular auntie exaggerates. While
blogging about Kanaiolowalu she wrote,
This blogger’s comments were either removed or hidden from
the Kanaiolowalu Facebook page.
According to her, removing Facebook comments somehow results
in people being “deleted out of existence”.
Does this make sense to you?
This same blogger has posted numerous negative comments and
juvenile-like “doctored” images of Kanaiolowalu and Native Hawaiian Roll
Commission members. Basically, she
insults people.
So, I ask you again, “if someone insulted you repeatedly on
YOUR Facebook page, what would you do?”
Would you delete their comments?
If you did, would that “delete them out of existence”?
If someone came to your house insulting you, you’d probably
ask them to leave. It’s not unreasonable
to delete insults that people make against you.
The Kanaiolowalu Facebook page moderators simply did what all of us
would have done. They peacefully deleted
her hurtful insults and she lived to blog about it so obviously, she wasn’t
deleted out of existence and she’s still free to insult other Native Hawaiians
fighting for Native Hawaiian rights.
