Well, I've been issued a "community standards alert" on Facebook [View all]

It was issued on a photo I posted of a truck with LOTS of anti-trump* bumper stickers. And I am 99.9% positive I know who sent the alert, since my settings are on private, so only my friends (cough, cough) can see my posts.

I have a VERY conservative, trump* loving 3rd (or so) cousin, that came into my life in just the past year. She is the ONLY person on my friends list who isn't, at a bare minimum, liberal leaning and also the only person to ever chastise me, via Messenger, for my political beliefs. I asked for the post to be reviewed so the "jury" is still out. And, really, I've posted MUCH harsher things.

I will be seeing her at a family reunion, next month, so if I'm right, I'll pick up on that vibe. She doesn't know me well enough to have ANY confidence I won't suss out if it was her. Meanwhile, I've set things up so she won't see anything else that I post. I'm pretty sure that, after the reunion, I'll just be dropping her from my list. I'm already dreading this reunion because there are others, like her, I haven't yet met. Unfortunately, not going to the reunion isn't an option. More unfortunately, the reunion is being held at a restaurant with NO BAR!!! Well, on second thought, maybe that's for the best.
