If I were the type of person that wanted to go a-stalking across the Fakebook world and a-hunting down former acquaintances and sending out invites to them so that I looked like the most popular woman in the world, I would.
If I had the inclination to irritate Fakebook users who were just sitting there, minding their own affairs, by prodding them and making it impossible for them not to add me as a friend, that option is available to me.
In reality:
I'm not.
I don't.
Why then am I being inundated with friend referrals from people I probably didn't want to add in the first place??? Clearly it's not enough that a person's existence is validated when they are added as a friend by someone they haven't spoken to for 10 years, probably wouldn't cross the street for, and don't even give a shit about... Now they have to have their own friend choices validated!
You're a fully grown adult!!!! Also, I'm not in highschool anymore. I'm too old for this peer pressure shit!!
Also, how do I get rid of that absolutely ridiculous box that tells me that because I know Suzie*, I probably want to add Daniel* as well? Here's a news flash: I don't bloody know Daniel*!! I probably don't even know Suzie*!!!!! This is not a bookstore, your opinion is not informed, and it's no bloody good to me!
Arghhhhhhh!

I get it now.
It's not good. That I get it, that is, not Facebook itself - Facebook itself is pure evil.
I completely understand why it is called stalkernet.
Riss the... just lost an hour of my time. Where did it go????
