Dear facebook,

Are you getting too paranoid? I appreciate your seriousness on getting the worms and the phishing attack recently but your system should be able to determine what is a bot and what is a human.

I was having a conversation with my friend last night and we were discussing on photography, so I started to send him links of my flickr pages over the conversation and next thing I know pop out a message warning me of spamming him and threaten that my account will be disable (See below image)

So I visited your FAQ page and did exactly as recommended by changing my password, logout and login back again. As I continue on my chat with him, every line I type, I am warned again by that message. What is going on facebook? Are you overly paranoid?

Btw, I’m a human not a bot
