The momentum behind this effort has grown beyond my initial expectations. It is clear that many people recognize the injustice of forcing Soapy to abandon his name. We are now preparing to bring these concerns directly to the attention of the platform.

Please Give Soapy his name back. Although he is an only be friend I know him as Bly as Soapy and want to see it back on my timeline.
A few days ago I awoke with a chill, I didn't know what it was at first. Colours seemed less vivid and food tasted bland. I logged on to facebook and the only difference I saw was that the once great Soapy Soutar had been reduced to some pencil pushing bore called John. It must end,
I have a strange man called John on my Facebook friend's list. I don't know him.
This is a disgrace!!! I've lost my husband and had him renamed as someone called John, who I don't even know.
A "free to all" social media site of supposedly casual disposition should not create obligatory rules that make playing with others conditional under some 'game masters' dull shirt and tie rules.
Gie soapy his name back!
too many johns, not enough soapys
