I think overall my life is better for it but if I have that kind of drama going on among my friends I don't recognize the digs and such. I do see a lot of political debate and trashing of general but not personal things (like climate change, health care, etc) and I won't get into that with ANYONE on FB because it does get really childish. Still I don't consider that personal so that is different. I had 1 guy I went to grad school make a totally rude snarky comment about my hair color (of all things) and I deleted the comment within minutes of him posting it. He is also guilty of the most obnoxious political BS I have seen so all of his posts are hidden in my news feed (out of sight out of mind, right) and I have made it so he can not see my status or wall. Why not un-friend him you might ask? I considered it but really I think that would produce more drama than my solution and I doubt he has even noticed that he can't see my posts b/c FB is awesome about privacy so if he were to visit my profile he might just think I have not been posting rather than something obvious like 'you are blocked b/c Dana thinks you are a loud-mouthed jackass'. Anyway, my suggestion is to use these things to filter out the drama. Maybe you already use them but most people don't. You can also hide all that farmville and what kind of wine are you BS!

Sounds like a good plan though Mel, avoiding the drama and forcing my friends to just email pics of their babies. <br />I still have faith though that we will collectively evolve past 13...it scares me too much to believe otherwise!!crystalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15144330347406193919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1104815458753282422.post-23437915463451547872010-03-01T21:01:33.366-08:002010-03-01T21:01:33.366-08:00Sorry I have no answer to your question.

Maybe in the future we will never mature mentally past the age of 13. :)Mel's Way or No Wayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05846210428557304528noreply@blogger.com
