I don't particularly like to be pushed into using Facebook at all! In fact, I opened a page ONLY to be able to access Alan's sales on his page; nothing else. And I'm finding membership in Facebook to have many downsides and no upsides for anything else I care about.

Alan has his own business plan, and I gather this isn't his primary business from what he's said about himself. So he probably is using Facebook for ease of posting/responding to his customers, rather than for any other reason. His website seems to be taking a backseat to his Facebook for now.

Then there's "mission creep" on Facebook. People feel free and even compelled to explain themselves, their views, their politics, their likes and dislikes in nauseating detail. Once you do that, the genie is out of the bottle for sure!

But it is his choice. And like all businesses, he will find out from his sales eventually how his customers feel about his views that he publishes.

His products appear to be what he claims they are, which is pretty good for this niche market in my book! I'll take him at his word for those and excuse him his personal excesses (if any).
