Fair enough, you guys. I can see why some people wouldn't want to divulge all the ins and outs of what they do each day for the whole world to see. I'm not really interested in knowing about that stuff anyway. Of course, they wouldn't know that.

I just think it sort of defeats the purpose of what that site is aimed at, doesn't it? It's a "social network" site for being social, so if you got blocked and picked on by everybody that uses it, that is not going to achieve your goal of finding new friends. Although I must say, Facebook isn't always the best way to go about doing that. This is why you can use alternative things like Meetup. Sadly, I don't have the courage to do that regardless of how often I've suggested it to other people. I'm sure these tossers can smell a loner a mile away. Maybe what you say is valid. Maybe they just care about their privacy, or maybe they really are just arrogant. Well, I suppose in either case, there's no certain way of knowing (unless they start firing insults your way, than I'd say you would know it's on purpose).

To be honest, I think the Internet is overrated. People are so glued to their screens now that I think it's made the population turn obnoxious. 30 years ago, nobody even had instant access to Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Tagged, Blogger, Wikipedia, Outlook, Friends Reunited, and all these other similar sites. YouTube I like, because it should be educational. However, to arrange a get together in the eighties for example, you had to have the phone numbers of your mates, and you couldn't even send text messages, because that too came later. Now it's so easy to digitally store your friends, and get rid of them like an old pair of shoes when their usefulness is no more. It's just a way of giving someone the cold shoulder in virtual terms, because it's simple to do so. I'll never fathom why some humans are so mean-spirited like this.
