rostasi Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 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. Wow...let's call this "drip painting logic." Quote

Wow...let's call this "drip painting logic." 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? Edited June 26, 2012 by RDK Quote

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. Quote

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

Blue Train Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 (edited) 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.

JETman Posted June 26, 2012 Report Posted June 26, 2012 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 MG 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. Quote

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. Quote
Blue Train Posted June 27, 2012 Report Posted June 27, 2012 Facebook draws user ire with email switcheroo For anyone interested. Click on your avatar, or go to the upper right and click on your name/handle. Click edit profile. Look on the left for Contact information. You can set your settings for your actual email and facebook to what you want. Quote
Quincy Posted June 28, 2012 Report Posted June 28, 2012 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.
