I have tonight resigned from Facebook.

I'm saying goodbye and sorry to all my many Facebook friends but I have received an enormous amount of abuse, and even threats, from a large group of people on Facebook who think that I am the Soham killer. ( I am absolutely serious about this)

As you all know my name is spelt HUNTLY not HUNTLEY but these "contributors" clearly can't spell and when I contacted one person to explain the difference, I was told I was a Huntly no matter how it is spelt and they want "ME" off !

I changed my "name" on facebook to Ian the TTFAN but my full name is still retrievable.

I was originally introduced to Facebook by my friend Kevin Ago Murphy and I thank him for doing so, but it is a bit awful when my name which I have had for 70 years is anathema to some.

When it all happened years ago I had abusive telephone calls which I reported to the police....All they said was "Just be glad your name's not Adolf Hitler"... That was really helpful.
