Well, I'm sure we are all aware of the FACEBOOK networking website...If not then you are missing out! FB is great as far as networking, catching up with old friends, keeping in touch with family, etc. However, one thing I have noticed is that although many users realize this, if you post something to your wall, AND have allowed everyone to see it (this is in your settings) then its public knowledge AND others can and often will respond to the posting. Apparently there is some issue with "trolling" peoples pages and perhaps reading things they may otherwise want kept private....for those persons offended by comments on their walls and what is being said, please don't post them out there for everyone to view. If you want things private the internet probably isn't for YOU. I found this very entertaining yesterday when reading a very simple posting by a friend who was complaining that there are many of us who are not educated in the ways of the Mormon beliefs. When asked to elaborate his wife stated that his mother was one of the people with misconceptions--leading his response to be "hence the education" comment. Now, his mother was hurt by this, and when confronted about his statement, he told everyone "not to troll his posts and mind their business". This of course is what prompted this discussion. Not only is it amusing, but if you are publicly posting things, how is it that someone is trolling a post or suppose to mind their business, you just posted it on the WALL for all in your network of friends/family/etc to view, hence making it their business.
The moral of this post--private is private; but if you post it publicly--you just lost your privacy!!! DUH!
