They&#039;re disabling accounts of people who speak up, if you didn&#039;t quit they probably would have forced you to for writing this.</description>

		<description>Shit welcome to the party. I quit a while back and every one thought I had gone off the deep end. I did quit for a couple of other various reasons, but privacy and the direction of Facebook has been bothering me a good while. Before I quit, I saved all of the photos I wanted that I could no longer find on my HD, and got everyone&#039;s contact info.

I returned to FB about 5 months after quitting, and I still don&#039;t use it other than the emails for people&#039;s Birthdays, and the occasional contact with people who refuse contact by any other means. Even when I have plenty of other ways to contact them. Now that you have to opt-in to all of this stuff just to show your interests and hobbies and stuff that is now all liked out side of facebook, I decided not to opt in to that ridiculousness so now my profile is pretty much blank. Whats the point of keeping it? I&#039;m pretty much ready to leave again.

Reliance on Facebook is pretty much shit. I see some value in social networking but Facebook has pretty much debased the way we interact publicly and privately with people. Stalking, bullying, the incessant need to know everything going on in someones life - without ever actually asking yourself, its sad. I want slap the crap out of the next person, who in a face-to-face conversation, asks me if I recently saw their facebook update, or recent pictures additions. What happened to real conversational skills?</description>

Never hurts to hear dissenting opinions.</description>

		<description>Hilarious picture.  There are ton of less than glamorous photos of him floating around on the internet.  A bunch of them got out when, ironically, he moved his profile from private to public.  He has sense switched it back to more private options.</description>
