i was a bit disappointed that people admitted to hiding fb status updates of people with whom they disagree. i have a lot of good friends who are progressive liberals, but i wouldn't block their status updates just because I disagree with them on a few issues. that seems awfully intolerant.

He doesnt ALL the time, but he knows I am nosy and that I do it. If there is something I shouldnt be reading (especially with christmas order confirmations right now) he will tell me not to look and I havnt. I think it really just depends on whether the person is bothered by it and whether they know.

I see what you mean, but IMO there's a difference between a disclaimer and a command. I read it as, "I don't want to hear your views on gay marriage, so don't even read this if you're conservative/against it."

Eh I don't mind YIO defending herself. My guess is that when you're a single mother you are just fiercly protective and maybe not totally rational about it. Dating is probably a whole different world than it is when you don't have kids. YIO is totally growing on me - she's good at taking flames and I like that.

Another grievance... the whole Divorce thread over in E. I seriously wanted to gouge my eyes out reading it. I got sucked in and got into a religious "debate" which is kind of fun, but some of those posts just made me absolutely crazy.

[QUOTE]In Response to Re: AYG : Meh, this is not FFF on E (not that anyone plays by the "rules" there either). She was flamed, she justified it. I don't see the problem. Why aren't you flaming Renee, then? Not only did she defend herself, but she called someone else dumb in doing so. I'd say that's way less classy than YIO.
Posted by J&K10910[/QUOTE]

Admittedly, I didn't pay too much attention to what Renee said, other than that she'd never seen Twilight, and she wanted to protect her anonymity. I also didn't bring class into anything that I said, but ya, I would agree. Calling someone dumb for having an opinion is incredibly dumb.

My reasoning for flaming YIO, was that she decided to justify her flame, based on a movie where everything that COULD happen, DID happen. It just seemed a little ridiculous.

Ok, but you didn't say that. You said take your flame and move on, justifying doesn't make the flame go away. You didn't say "it's kind of ridiculous to be scared a guy you date is going to molest your kids just because you saw it on a movie." That would not have gotten a second thought from me, as I said something similar, as did Steph.

rhodesign · December 2010

I've hidden friends who are on the opposite political spectrum as me, but not merely because I disagreed with them. I did it because with these particular people, they actually posted some rather offensive things (example: one posted that he thought racial profiling was okay to prevent terrorism on planes) and did so often, maybe even daily. I'm still their friend and think they're good people, just misguided in their rationale. I blocked them so I wouldn't hold too many things against them and keep the peace, ya know?

Oh Sarah, go watch the movie again. Natalie Portman played the girl who had the baby in Walmart, with the guy who got hit by the train,and she hooked up with Forney.

Ashley Judd is the nurse with all the kids, who dates a guy who is a pedophile, and she catches him messing with her kids, and he beats her up to the point she move in with Natalie Portmans character.

I did the exact same thing with a woman I know. I know that I'll just gradually lose all of my respect for her because of her judgmental closemindedness, so I choose to make her invisible. That way, when we go on our annual summer trip with her, I don't need to feel the need to slap her.

So because it happened in a movie it couldn't possibly happen IRL? I saw the movie and it put the thought in my head that it could happen, so I feel I took the proper precautions to protect my child.

Well...that makes sense. I'm sorry your friends are FB nuts like that. If I had a friend that said "ZOMG WHY DIDN'T YOU COMMENT ON MY HILARIOUS STATUS?!?!" I would just say "because it wasn't funny and my life doesn't revolve around FB." Then they'd never bug me again.

But I get the feeling that I'm more of a bitch than you, haha. So I can see why you'd want to do what you ahd to do to avoid that. Because hello, irritating.

"Kid" is so much more offense than stinkbutt

Seriously, I don't get the "kid" flame. Is YIO's child a kid? Yes? Okay then. Why does it matter? It's not like she was calling it "The spawn that Satan put into my uterus."

J&K10910 · December 2010

I had a coworker that calls her baby her "kid." She also poked herself in the belly and said "hey, whatcha doin' in there kid, that's uncomfortable, cut it out!" a lot. She loves her baby and surely doesn't mean anything offensive by saying "my kid..."
