Over the course of twelve years or so here at twc, I have “banned” (or blocked) a grand total of three people, each for being boring asshats (ordinary asshats I don’t mind, as long as they amuse me by giving me fun things to mock; boring asshats, OTOH. . . *heh*). Over the course of six years on FarceBook, I’ve–now–nlocked more. That’s especially interesting since I once had a very large amount of traffic @twc, and I have very few FarceBook friends (I have only accepted perhaps two “friend” requests per year, after the first year), by design.
Well, today someone earned a place on an extremely select list (fewer than the numbers of fingers on one hand): my FarceBook block list. How? A bitter, irrational lying screed proclaiming himself a “holocaust denier.” No, dialog with such persons is not a good use of my time, and even a quick skim of future post by them would be time poorly spent. I wish him the joy of his delusional, hateful life, such as it may be.
It’s not such an elite group for me. I’ve left Facebook behind and don’t think I’ll be returning.
