Well,
I don't understand why people react so negatively to some thoughts I'm expressing from time to time.

- Today, I was tired to see some shopping related post on my facebook newsfeed,
So I said to the guy "again some shopping ? why don't you show some nature ?",
Well bam, unfriended "I'm free to show what I want im my wall..." and I couldn't read remaining message as I was blocked.

- An other "friend" , was complaining of some rejection by society because of his Rastafarian hairstyle.
He said , that because of his hairs , he is often accused of taking drugs. I answered him "that I rather cut my hairs, than being rejected".
And bam, unfriended/ blocked.

- An other "friend" a bit racist, despite that he think he's not racist. Once I made him the remark, that french are better welcomed in Morrocco, that moroccan in France,
and there's was never any problem with "hallal meat".
Bam unfriended.

Aaaarg, why this facebook "social network", makes me feel so asocial ?
I'm already not much social in real life, but I feel with facebook it's much worse, with people rejecting anything contradicting their thoughts, and reacting by unfriending.
I hate this.

Good riddance of these "psycho rigid" people, anyways.

It's...facebook. It's the internet. Do not ever take anyone as a true friend, or think that you matter to them in anyway. 99 percent are maggot eating trolls who take any chance to call you nasty and stab you in the back. The other 1 percent will just fuck you in your sleep. But, knowing that going in....you CAN make and keep some rewarding contacts. Jusgt know that folks these days think they can say or do anything they want, and somehow think their view of the world is the only right one. Don't take it seriously, have fun and no worries.

The first one doesn't strike me as a negative reaction. The friendship-removal might have been... Excessive, but the person simply stated a fact, it's his/her wall.

True enough.People can post whatever they want to their wall (within the guidelines) and you are free to like it or not, read it or not. You can edit the settings to only show what you want to see from any person. All you have to do is edit a few tags and poof problem solved. Hait guy has a point. It's his hair. He should not have to conform to anyone else's whims to be accepted. That you would rather conform than be rejected would make an interesting conversation, but I suspect it'd just offend you.

It seems, since you know the third guy was a "bit racist", that your comment was almost an attempt to egg him on a bit.

Just my 2 cents. But I am nasty and stupid, so you probably should ignore it. :)

I'm fine, I just find some people unfriend a bit too easily. I almost never participated in his wall, so when I decide to "participate" this is how I'm rewarded.
I wished he could post something else, it's as if he was advertising every restaurant or shopping mall in his country.

A lot of people I know do. It's a thing. I don't get it, but it is. My friends post pictures of every meal they ever eat. From all angles. With captions and descriptions. I block that too......It's facebook. It is the way it is. Doesn't make a lick of sense, which is likely why they do it.

I deleted my facebook account.

Not deactivated, but actual takes a few days to completely remove all trace according to administrators DELETION.

Made a generic new one with nice block list. Nothing personal on it, not even my name.

I use it only to keep tabs on a few movie-based pages and nothing more. Other than that, Fuck Facebook. Up its ass. Hard. With a jagged rusty metal dildo. Until it bleeds. Bleeds from the shreds and tears of its smelly shithole.

Now THAT is "butthurt".

Watched monday's episode of Bones. The psych...Sweets...diagnosed a killer with - and I am serious - Post Traumatic Bitterness Syndrom.

JH I love you, but this sounds like you could have this terrible and underdiagnosed syndrom. I fear for you. Because when Sweets said it, the boss agreed that killer was a "sick bastard" due to the bitterness. I don't want you to be sick, or a bastard and certainly not a sick bastard......

While I gave up on "Bones" early in the season because I simply wasn't interested anymore (in that or in "Castle") in 'procedural' shows and had enough (despite my enduring love of David Boreanaz) you aren't far off.

My bitterness stems from the fact that I became a target for hatred, rumor, outright lies, death threats and a lot of disgusting accusations. I even moved to a different city because of it. I couldn't take it anymore from a bunch of well, immature teenage wastes of time. I was the older darker (in a racial term) outsider who wanted to be left alone and mind my own business and therefore was an easy target. I was basically a victim of online and text and face-to-face bullying.

So yeah, fucking right I'm bitter.

and one that applies to the workplace:

Indeed it is genuine. Wasn't work related in my case but still.

I hate it when people react negatively when I tell them I don't have a Facebook.

? I don't use it, never have. I also do not own a cell phone, tablet or laptop. I have never tweeted or picto-whatevered. I have the desktop a tv and and a landline. I cannot be reached if I am not here. I can not be beeped or texted. When I am asked for my cell and I tell folks I don't have it, they basically act like that's an impossible hing. They are genuinely offended that I'd dare venture out without a dozen electronics to wire me in.

Oh, and for game fans, I have no system. I had no Atari when it came ut. (yes, I am old enough to have been there), I have never played a single video game ever. I am enthusiastically proud of this. Much like having never seen an apisode of Barney, Digimon or pokemon...

Oh, and I had only had a pc, or any experience with one for about 6 months before my join date here. So I had never been on the web before a little less than 5 years ago. I swear I was happier then....

will just fuck you in your sleep

im interested in this

Storm in a tea cup. Anyway that guy wasn't laid back enough to be a real rasta. But you raise an interesting topic of discussion which has a broad scope beyond facebook. It's impossible to agree with someone else 100% of the time. Being de-friended for such minutia you experienced is weird-city.

It doesn't sound like you're complaining about fb. It's people that are the problem. Maybe you need some new friends. You just don't like the fact that they can shut you out in an instant if they disagree with you.

That is social media and the internet in a nut shell. I mean even here. Small disagreements lead to blocking, cursing, flaming, etc. Internet "friends" typically are such only as long as you all fall into line with each other. I am not going to dis it though my only social contact at all is through the pc, and my best friend was met here.

Internet people are distilled humans; unencumbered by the checks and measures we usually impose on ourselves in real life, as a result of conflict avoidance / not wanting to get punched in the face.

As for Facebook, well, part of the problem is with people who are obsessed with collecting "friends" for kudos. They're not friends - they're statistics. Friends talk about stuff, disagree, argue, and stay friends. If somebody tosses you out of their life permanently and decisively because you disagreed once they were never worth your time in the first place.

One of my friends has 800-odd friends, and others have many many more - and I have 39. This guy has only actually MET about 60-70 of these people, and of that only speaks regularly to a dozen.

'Tis the nature of things.

i only add people i know.
OR those who want someone to talk to.

Ugh, Facebook is kind of a dirty place anyway....it sorta always felt to me like a public bathroom that hundreds of people are running in and out of all the time.

Don't let people on FB get you down. I think it makes a lot of people jerks. :)

Yeah, you should've just blocked them or something. No need to start Facebook drama for no reason.

it�s easy to get in trouble anywhere,if you have asperger�s.
if taste for beauty and social intelligence are learned intuitively from a loved one,or two,they come easy and naturally.
if you have to think about these things,the results are often devastating,because there are so many possibilities how to do and look at things.
societies function on a basis of silent agreements,which change over time and from location to location.
in other words,if your social intelligence is well developed,life is easy,even if you are an idiot,without significant talents.
if you are a genius,without social intelligence,you need a manager.

Well, I got de-friended b/c I checked in Chick-fil-a (via FourSquare), and b/c [according to him] "there's too much hate here".. I got the click..

I hate Facebook... waste of time and bandwidth...

Friend of me in the UK defriended me BC I made a bitstrip

i pee in the shower

I think the best thing to do on Facebook (as well as with any website community in general) is to stick to communicating with those people with who you have good experiences talking with and ignore the rest! ;-)

I deactivated mine. It was full of useless pages.

It was neat to get updates on products (games, movies, tv shows) but when you have more than one page, you get repeated material so often it becomes useless.

Plus, spoilers. Millions of spoilers from book readers who just have to prove they read the books. :rolleyes:

For real people to communicate with, there's always back channels of communication established at various places so it's no big deal.


Plus all the photos the pages were sharing were all poorly compressed JPG's with no HD resolutions or bpp's.
