CHUCK LORRE PRODUCTIONS, #378
I do not interact with Facebook, Twitter or any of the other social networking platforms. My reasoning is simple. Why in the world would I want to share my private thoughts and feelings with the world at large? What good could possibly come from me having a convenient outlet to express myself to millions of people? The more likely outcome is that in a misguided attempt to be funny or cute, I'd say something stupid and wind up getting publicly raked over the proverbial coals. Which is why I think the wiser path is to keep my opinions to myself. For example, if I were to feel moral outrage over an organization riddled with pedophiles expressing their moral outrage over contraception, I certainly wouldn't tweet about it. And the photographs I've taken of myself wearing nothing but oven mitts and a tiara will never be shared on a Facebook page.

You may be missing a bet.(: Worse, you may be depriving others of entertainment.

I knew there was a reason why you dropped off FB, and I can certainly see your point. Back in Western Carolinas we were starting to use social media more for disaster response; and, with DA transitioning more into Situational Awareness, I think I'm in it for awhile longer (although I should probably clean up my act a little).

A UK TV comedian has summed it all up in a lexical form :-
Singular = Facebook
Plural = Faecesbook ;-)
I too avoid FB etc. 'Tis bad enough that we blog ;-)

Hattie--I understand what you mean. A photo of me in oven mitts and tiara should be entertainment enough for most people, I should think!
Harold--FB's privacy policy, when they changed it a couple of years ago, was not in line with my own. Social media, in itself, can spell disaster.
Stu--We don't spell it that way ; ) Do you think that you and I could get people to pay us to stop blogging?
All but Harold--We should explain that, DA = Disaster Assessment.
