Independent journalist Michael Yon, best known for his work during the Iraq War, has accused Facebook of deleting his posts and his users' comments without reasonable cause. Yon now says that Facebook suspended him for a week after his complaint made the news.
Facebook has previously come under criticism for banning links to its competitor Tsu.co, suspending political cartoonist Ben Garrison for his "Crybabies" cartoon critical of campus protests, banning atheist cartoonist Bosch Fawstin, removing a comment calling for the strict separation of church and state, and blocking access to The Federalist article "Microaggressions and Trigger Warnings Meet Real Trauma".

Solids can be wet. I think that you meant water can be dry? It is pretty dry at forty below zero F.

I know of one technical context for "wet" --- liquid in a solid container either "wets" the walls or not (for instance mercury at normal temperatures does not "wet" glass, but water does).
The OP was most likely referring to the sensation of wetness, which I believe comes from supersaturation with water vapor. In that sense, when you touch ice, it will feel wet first of all because anything you sweat out of the relevant pores will stay there, second of all because there will be a bunch of water that liquifies on contact with your skin.
And then you talk about -40 degrees, when I believe most human hands would freeze themselves before successfully melting a little bit of water... so I assume all of my above discussion can be ignored in that context (probably for anything below -37 centigrade in fact).
