In January, I posted a quote by Michelle Obama. I don't even remember the context, but apparently this triggered some sad little leftist and I got reported! *****rollingeyes*****
I just now (in April!) got a report saying that no one at Pinterest could find such a quote.
Here is part of the notice I just got from them (the bolded text is my exact post):

Thanks, but may I exchange it for a large queso and some chips?

Hmmm........ If I get to be young and beautiful again, I hope they never apologize.

Just checked and my apology hasn't arrived yet. Any minute now, I'm sure. wink777

Pinterest, Facebook, whatever. They seem to spend their days going through posts from years ago to make sure no one ever said anything negative about the Obammys, the Bidens, terrorists or other criminals.

I got my apology! Or as close as I'm going to get to one.

That's good and I'm glad about that, but I wonder why they couldn't locate that clip. Also, I really would like to know if they told whoever made accusations against me that Michelle did say those things. Oh well. It's not a big deal. I just wanted a little satisfaction of seeing a crestfallen leftist learn that I'll still be around. Heh heh heh....

Was it Twitter (pre-Musk) or Facebook that always went after people for alleged violations of German law? Seriously? German law? I guess it's appropriate, in a way.

At least it wasn't a knock on the door at 3 AM from guys in long black leather coats.

WRT the reason you were "dinged":

How is quoting Mooch-chelle harassing anybody?
