Yep. If he just wanted to announce the outcome of the petition, he would not allow comments. It's obvious he wants the comments. By posting it on Facebook, he's basically inviting his fans to show their "support" and sadly, most of them do that by bashing Glenn and Don. Felder does nothing to stop them and thus seems to tacitly approve. Obviously his fans have the impression that their comments please him.
Now that Glenn is gone, Don Henley is bearing the brunt of the ugliness, but there are still plenty willing to kick dirt upon Glenn's grave in the name of "supporting" Felder. They have also started attacking Tim and Joe.
Here are a few gems from the comments to his post, taken from just the first 250 (there are over 1300 at last count but I wearied of reading them). I have posted them unedited, which means there is offensive language. I apologize, but I felt the comments should be left as they are so you can see for yourself what they're like.
While not all of the comments are like this, from the sampling I saw, they make up a considerable percentage.
[WARNING: VULGAR LANGUAGE]
Bruce: "F-k Henley. Frey was a total a-hole. Greedy f'ers. You are Eagles as much or more. What stupidity."
Scott: "Glenn Frey and Don Henley, are the ones responsible for all of the crap, that The Eagles went through. Greedy, arrogant, assholes."
Mellie: "People will find a way to punish Henley. Maybe his Walden Pond project"
Michael: "Henley is a dick. End of story."
Paul: "Glen Frey was a prick. Period."
Murray: "Henley is a cunt"
Chad: "Fuck henley and frey"
Guven: "You are one vindictive gentleman Mr Henley... Probably got a cash register where your soul should be..."
Kevin: "Henley doesn't deserved the title of gentleman...greedy prick is more like it"
Jeff: "
#donhenleyisahater"
Frank: "Henley is portraying himself as a self obsessed egotistical cxxt in bed with the management (az)"
Tim: "Seems as if that dirtbag Azoff manipulated things to his benefit. Also Frey was obviously a narcissist who felt threatened by Don Felder and acted accordingly."
Dylan: "horseshit, Don Henley can suck a dick"
Randy: "Don & Glenn turned out to be backstabbing ego-maniacs."
Pat: "I hope Henley doesn't live to regret this."
Paul: "Henly is calling the shots and this just continues my opinion now and when I met him that he is an arrogant egotistical asshole !!!"
Paula: "henley is dispicable.. and everyone should start boycotting his shows and cds...."
Rudy: "Don henley is a big cock! His solo stuff now is irrelevant and has been since 1998. His ego needs to be deflated. He basically flipped off the fans. Bullshit"
Monty: "Don Henley is a horrible human being"
Paul: "Frey and Henley (were) are douchebags."
Mark: "Henley's a Bastard."
Scottie: "Is don Henley that got dam fing stupid!! Fuk you don! You're a washed up hack never was has been that wasnt sh! T without don felder! Eat sh! T and piss off henley"
As mentioned earlier, it's not just Glenn and Don getting trashed:Greg: "Too bad Henley had both testicles removed. And from The sound of it, so did Joe & Timothy. Disgusting."
Mark: "As for T. Schmidt, all he ever did was be in the right place at the right time. His 'contributions' are few and weak."
Peter: "re Schmit. IMHO he just wasn't/isn't the talent that Meisner was. Get a haircut mate and eat some meat."
Kenneth: "joe Walsh Tim scmidt Just ride the originals coattails. Political dumbasses."
Martin: "Aren't Walsh and lil' Timmy brave enough to tell Henley that he's being a dick, or are they dicks too?"
Paul: "Piss on the Kennedy Center and piss on the current Eagles band. Stinking, greedy, arrogant pigs. Yea, Joe Walch is such a poster boy for the band. A drunken/addict, hotel destroying, idiot that never became a partner in the band as Felder was. Absolutelty deplorable. Glenn Frey...Rest In Pi..!"
Felder isn't even standing up for his "friends" Joe and Tim. He allows ugliness like the above (the last one I quoted was especially appalling) to go unchallenged on his Facebook timeline.
I hope Felder deletes that post. If he wanted validation from his fans, he's gotten it. The post really serves no other purpose but to be a platform for vicious comments about the remaining Eagles.
