What it was that she said must have been awful, or she wouldn't be so reluctant to reveal it.

Your only solution: tell the folks on facebook that you were "in character" while doing your best Sarah Silverman impersonation when you made the offending post.That was Silverman's schtick some years ago. Going into a ditzy character who would compare herself to starving children because she couldn't afford an Escalade, or boasting that she helped starving children in the Sahara by "knitting them sweaters".

Was this in a Facebook group?
Those groups can get brutal if you dont follow the theme, and have (horror!) your own opinion.

Sounds like one of those Autism v Cancer comparisons, which I'm sure I've seen elsewhere (maybe on WP), though not on Facebook as I've no idea what that is.

Edit: though in view of the above statement, which I've only just noticed, the comparison I mentioned is very unlikely to be the one in question...

It's nothing that would get me fired anywhere. I merely decline to state what A and B are because it would only increase your curiosity as these would likely be things you and others here are unfamiliar with and the curiosity would increase.
