I use a different name and several of my family and friends also do or use nicknames. We all do this for several reasons and I'm glad we do. We also do not use our real birth dates.
These people are using their real name and have wide open, public facebooks. They just are not on Holly's friends list.
(snipped by me....)
MsF - do you mean people who DO have Facebook pages but are not listed as her friends, but are friends of her BF's or brother's? Or are you talking about people like yourself who just don't 'do' Facebook? 'Cause I know lots of folks who don't do Facebook, so I wouldn't consider that alone to be hinky.
And can you tell me more about what you mean about '..changed their profile pictures....' ? This is an interesting angle.
Within 24 hours of Holly's abduction about 25% of her (over 600) friend's list had changed their profile picture to her missing poster... or a picture of her... or some other "Holly" item. It was amazing.
Yes, they have (public) facebooks with their real names, pictures and are friends/family with her brother or boyfriend. Of course I wouldn't think it was odd if say her boyfriend's brother or best friend didn't have a facebook at all.
Holly has over 600 people on her friend's list. So she isn't keeping it down to really close friends. THAT is why I found it odd that some people closest to those closest to her, were not on there. If she had 25 people on her friends list, it wouldn't strike me as odd that those people were not included.
Am I making any sense yet?? :waitasec:
To clarify another point... it wouldn't be odd for Holly to not like her boyfriend's best friend or a family member. In-laws, many people don't like them. I cannot stand my husband's sister. I
despise her.
BUT, if I had a facebook that I used, especially with over 600 friends on it... I would feel "obligated" to add her. Just like I feel obligated to get her an awesome personalized Christmas present every year.
Does that make sense? :waitasec:
Probably not... my thoughts only make sense to my own brain. Really though, in my head it is perfectly logical. The relevance, I don't know. It just stood out to me. :innocent:
