For those of you without fb, this is the result of trying to engage with people without an ounce of argument, debate, wit, fact, research or respect, i.e the nuggets that are the true cowardly keyboard warriors.

Following an evening of my friends and family being bombarded with threats and abuse by people they have never even met, the Rishton First page will be closed as of this morning.
Unfortunately, we have a group of people who have pried into my personal life over the past 18 months with almost obsessional fervour and it just isn't worth subjecting my nearest and dearest to the constant abuse of people we don't know simply to remain on Facebook.
Privacy is being eroded to the point where personal messages are being copied, taken out of context and shared far beyond the original recipient while visitors to my house are reported on Facebook before they have even left.
As we enter election season, my political opponents and their supporters have begun the dig for dirt and quite honestly I have no desire to descend to that level. Aspects of my private life which have no bearing on my Council work are being reported to the legal department on a regular basis in the hope that I can be removed from office and allegations are now even being made that I am responsible for criminal damage to the property of anyone who disagrees with me.
All of this stems from Facebook which is why it has become more hassle than it is worth. I hope you can all understand my position.
Come and argue with proper folk, although you may get a rough ride for sticking your head above the parapet, you will get 'none of the above' disgusting crud from us
