Trolling Facebook.

[JustinR]

All this time, I had figured it was so you could annoy a much wider audience than just your family and friends in meatspace.

HA! Where's the like button for that?

Since we're talking about annoying things on Facebook (and yes, I'm on it to keep in touch with mid-level friends), I REALLY detest getting posts about fake things that can actually be found in Snopes or other sites. Check your "facts" before you post some idiotic thing. This also applies to e-mails from families and friends.

A-freaking-men. Some people really do believe that all you hear on the internet is true, except when it's Snopes, because they're liberal and can't be trusted. Someone's aunt's best friend's brother who worked next to someone who says they "know" - those people believe that. Never learned the lessons from forwarded emails even after all these years. I'm surprised I've not been unfriended for debunking that crap and pissing off the debunkees, which amazingly, is always the same people.

That admins have to spend their time pursuing kiddie pornsters and would-be molesters isn't a slam on them, it's a slam on the place, and the sort of people whose presence such a site attracts like beetles to a ball of dung.

If anyone finds it useful or worthwhile, best wishes and all. I just find it like heading to the crap side of town, because there's a great something or other, and always feeling like I'd need a shower when I got home. As if I don't get enough of that, or hordes of perennially adolescent self-important jackholes with no discernable brainwave activity, just by working in Hollywood on occasion.

You live in a far more septic world than I. Obviously there are things about FB that get under my skin, but by and large I enjoy the interactions with the folks I know.

Just got myself suspended for the use of "Niger."

Because I can tell the difference between the entire worldwide web, and one dysfunctional septic tank therein,
as well as being able to tell the difference between actual friends and acquaintances, and the cyberfraudulent variety.

OK, then what are you doing *here*?

The country or the river?
Let's not tell them that there have been phD's awarded for analysis of that literary work of art, "N****r as Narcissus."
