> I boycott a fly shop because of posts that the owner made on Facebook. I never would have seen them, but I’m FB friends with one of his FB friends. They were posts of racist memes about Obama. I commented that I’ll never spend a dime in his shop and I’ll make sure everyone knows about these posts. The posts instantly disappeared.

Too late for the damage to be done.

Never assume that anything you post on Facebook, or online for that matter, is private. You’d think people would know that by now. :smack:
