Whoa...I got mentioned in a Facebook group

On Facebook, there is (high school person lead I should indicate) this group. I don't know if you can access it without an account but let me highlight some goodies if you can't see it:

"Further, after being booted out of the "First name Holland, last name..." group, I came to realize that [my last name] Holland (also erroneously known as "Holland [my last name]") is the root of this terrible nomenclature epidemic. Please help her through this time of need by endlessly friending her and inviting her to our wonderful community. If we sway her, we may just win the battle!"

Ah, high schoolers, I didn't even know I was in a battle. To be known: I have yet to be "endlessly friended" or invited to any community (I *think* this means I win) but I admire their trollish ways. But I give him positive kudos for using the phrase "nomenclature epidemic." It made me giggle. Me thinks we have a future chemist on our hands.

The thing I liked about Facebook, was that it was originally a college site. This meant that immature teenagers that sign up for 100 "groups" didn't have to troll around the site.

I like how he now calls you by your "real" name "[Surname]Holland" - because he insists Holland is a surname.

What happened? Did he post something on your wall? Did you kick him out for having a surname (v. a first name) of Holland? Did you make your wall private because of him? Too bad, I wanted to read it.
