I find the idea of an anti-FB blog ironic and hilarious. And he accuses Facebookers of "wasting time?" At least we're wasting time on something we enjoy instead of wasting our time urging others to conform to their beliefs. The guy must be a Christian Conservative. :D

Wow...let's call this "drip painting logic." :blink:

Really, you don't think it odd that someone has a blog about something that they don't like and don't participate in? That's like someone starting an "I Hate Jazz" page that ridicules others for liking jazz. Why bother?

What I find odd is your implied notion that blogs are started just for the purpose of converting others to their beliefs.

There may be something "hilarious" about it, but "ironic?" - no I don't think so. Maybe an "I Hate Blogs" blog could

be considered ironic, but even that would depend on the content.

That is the reason blogs are started....especially the political ones.

This absurd thread is still going?

You're always good at reminding me how much your cheese has slid off your cracker.

Can someone please tell him that his and his wife's Facebook settings are a disaster waiting to happen....especially with people knowing his name or how easily it's to find and him being him.

Another solution is just not to bother with Facebook at all. Then you don't have to worry about settings, and lo and behold, you won't die without it either.

Couldn't have put it better myself :g

Thank you. The obvious is lost on many here.

I have received great pleasure from Facebook in reconnecting with old friends who I knew decades ago, but lost touch with. They have now become some of my closest friends again. This has added to the quality of my life very significantly. It would not have happened except for Facebook. One can be glib about dismissing something, and ridiculing others, but there can be more than one credible way to look at an issue.

I was not ridiculing anything. As you may recall (if not, look it up), my first post was a response to someone who wondered aloud why anyone could possibly find anything wrong with Facebook. AFAIC, you do what makes you happy, and I'll do the same. I'd hate to be the guy, though, who signed up for Facebook only to find out that the person(s) I was looking for was not a member.

My thoughts too. I also think that an enlightened "consumer" is good as well,

so I think it's important to know how the "boss" of your desired convention

is treating you as a consumer of his product. People just decide whether the

game is worth the candle, I suppose.

As for reconnecting with old friends: I seem to remember something called "email" -

something that hasn't stopped more than enough "old friends" from getting in touch.

The female friends who take on their husband's last name can be tricky to find in the white pages and the like. It's much easier in FB. A phonebook/database with photos (all depending on one's settings regarding searches of course), along with the way it shows friends of friends etc. is a pretty powerful search tool, even if you loathe everything about it.
