Having gotten nowhere with the "friend" thing, I've recently become rather attached to Fakebook for political causes, there's one particular site I really enjoyed having their informative posts on my wall, but a recurring problem would be the trolls who "like" that page just so they can rant on how much they hate the page and proceed to call us names and hurl insults in all the comment areas.
I naively thought these sites would be a nice place for like minded individuals to come together and discuss issues and concerns without the vile, crude, insensitive, and vicious postings that are the norm on the net.
Well, I'm unemployed and have been posting comments more than usual as a result of my newly acquired spare time, and hence have been running into the aforementioned trolls quite frequently...when one referred to us as "an orchestra of ********" I responded with "well why don't you just leave" and he responded in all caps "f*** you!" After encountering these jerks several more times I confess that my temper was on the brink of spilling over, and thats just what happened a few hours ago...a troll posted some offensive comments and I lost it, I don't want to bring up what the political issues were (because that would make me a troll), basically I countered with some valid points but I also used the f bomb about five times...his response to me was "eat sh*t!" I responded back with "And the same to you." So I foolishly went to that site's wall and posted about how I was just told to eat sh*t by a troll and brought up the issue of whether its fair that I should have to censor myself from this page, blah blah blah...guess what, they banned me!
I was like, whoa, I wasn't expecting that...I've never been banned online before, not quite sure how to take this...
So now there's that little red circle at the top of my Fakebook page indicating I have a message waiting for me, I know its the admin scolding me for my bad behavior...and I do NOT want to read it...why do I feel like I'm ten years old again...
I confess I misbehaved with the numerous expletives...but the other guy started it!!!
So I think with this, my Fakebook experience has come to an end. Nope, I am not clicking on that red dot...
