Comment:

 There is no way to request that something be retroactively "made private"
 - anything you post here (as indicated at the bottom of every page, among
 other places) is publicly accessible.

 That said, I deleted your log file.

 The following is the relevant portion of your log file:
 {{{

 Your inability to connect to facebook is caused by a dns problem -
 `chat.facebook.com` doesn't resolve successfully (and it should).
