MLU on facebook

[Jordan Baker]

Wow, you guys need to calm down a wee bit. I know three of the people on that page and two of them reasonably well. I'll send them a msg to find out some more about this group. They are all plastic military model makers. I'll get back and post my findings here.

In the mean time, put all the negative energy to something usefull like restoring Canadian WW2 vehicles.

Yes I'd agree with Jordan.
The reason I came across the infringment is because I'm a member of facebook.
Why? I live in the country and have a young daughter so I find it hard to stay in contact with my friends on a regular basis. With facebook I can stay in touch and see what they are up to.
I have not passed any info to facebook apart from my email, just like MLU.
I do not list much private info on facebook because you never know who is watching.
And I'm not one of these weirdos with 800 people on my friends list, just 8.
Facebook is good, just depends on how you use it.
I've even pointed a person I came across on facebook ( a movie armourer ) onto MLU as I thought he'd enjoy sharing his pics with us which included Lee and Stuart tanks and jeeps.
I don't agree with people however calling themselves MLU and using the logo on facebook. However, if it's not trademarked I don't think there is much that can be done.
But let's drop the rifles for a moment and start talks.

Hi all - out of the millions of people subscribing to Facebook, hundreds of thousands are members of criminal organisations, pedophiles (however you spell it), identity theft trawlers and every manner of freak that cannot communicate verbally. Unlike the Australia Card that had many safeguards, Facebook entries are easily hacked into that allow the above groups to access personal information. Australian MLUers would remember the Stranger Danger campaigns to protect children. Where is the childrens protection allowing them to place communications world wide for everyone to see. Don't tell me Facebook is secure. We have already had one murder here in South Australia that involved Internet communication.

It is a sad reflection on society that cheap impersonal options such as Facebook, Emails, Twitters, Tweets, Blogs and the rest has taken the place of VERBAL COMMUNICATION.

Nobody had better place me on Facebook as I will come down on them from High.

Do not link MLU with Face book..If you want to have a Face book page..fine..have it ..If you want to be an MLU member..fine..so be it....BUT DO NOT JOIN FACEBOOK AS MLU>>>YOU DO NOT OWN IT AND YOU ARE STEALING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY CREATED BY OTHERS>>

I'll stick with MLU>>

Please calm down guys. There could be a valid answer to this so let investergations take there course as I'd hate to have to lock my first thread

[Bob Moseley (RIP)]

Hi Cliff - I think the discussions have veered away from MLU on Facebook, that will be sorted out. More to the point is that Facebook itself should be abolished as it is a nightmare as I described previously.

Guys,

I am not on Facebook, so it probably is not very easy for me to find out what this group is up to. Can anyone on here who's a Facebook member too find out? I'm sure it's not a group which is mis-using "Maple Leaf Up" and the things we stand for?

Meanwhile, check http://www.mapleleafup.ca/whatismlu.html, they have a Facebook page too. The more the merrier, as long as we strive to attain the same things that is.

Regards,
Hanno
