The only reason I use Facebook is to keep in touch with family and friends overseas. 

So what, like, email is broken somehow? Skype has been deprecated? Phone service is passe (i.e. PennyTalk.com)?

Email is like so 1990's and stuff. 

yes i guess keeping in touch family and friends is a good use. but that could be the start of problems, as whatever they do or see may spill over into your world. not really sure how it all works, but can't you have it set up so you only receive or see stuff from those sources you wish? i never see anything other than from software/hardware companies, musical instrument companies, bands etc that i have chosen to see anything from. i remember a lot of settings saying things like "receive from friends" or "from friends of friends" or "everyone" etc, and as it is a fake account, there are no friends as such, everything is set to "friends" or whatever the lowest setting is from memory.

I wonder how long a ban one would get for calling it "arsebook"?

be thankful i say, and voluntarily extend your ban indefinitely
 
imo facebook and it's ilk are a blight on the face of humanity. i have a fake/anonymous account to keep up with certain software/hardware companies etc, but befriend no one as i'm not interested in how many cups of coffee bill smith has had this morning or whether jane doe farted when she woke

...for "harassment." Because I called someone a "buttercup" in a comment. THAT'S how ridiculous it is. 
 
I mean how buttercuppy could you possibly be than to report someone for harrasment because they called you a buttercup. I love it when I'm proved right 

Must have been ... nahhhhh forget it ... yeah, the ability, noise and desire to do the right thing on Facebook, is all about words ... not what they mean. Remember, it's a database and they are not interested in the context of its use!
 
You search for words and ban for using it. 
 
You might have put up a recipe for buttercups of some sort, and see if you got banned. I would like to find a good lawyer, because that could be considered harassment! We need to find some of the young guns at Stanford or Berkeley ... they love mindless idiots!

Hey Rain...you don't happen to have the address of that there Engourgement thingy do you ;-)

That's pretty interesting stuff compared to what most of my "friends" post.

I'm attempting a life-time ban of Feckbook.
