That’s way too many assumptions on your part.

I’ve posted a link that recommends quitting Facebook and I questioned your claim that “none of it’s Facebook” by stating that I found the 3 year AGR score informative. Reading anything more than that in to my posts is pure conjecture.

No assumptions at all. You posted a link that recommended quitting facebook. I replied and said all that behavior is general web behavior that existed before facebook and even applies to FR. You edited to one convenient sentence and said “oh really” and posted another link which has no real information in it at all as it relates to this conversation. And I asked if you thought people didn’t screw around on the web before there was a facebook. A question you have yet to bother to answer. THAT is the entire conversation without one single assumption.

Now back to the question: do you think people didn’t screw around on the web to the detriment of real life needs before facebook? If not then you understand why that list of why people should quit facebook you posted is just stupid because it, just like I said, is not about facebook, it’s about the web.

Or to put it another way, go to this link:
http://www.webmd.com/anxiety-panic/guide/obsessive-compulsive-disorder
And notice how your entire list from your original link appears on this page. Obsession is obsession is obsession. Whether it’s obsession with FB, or FR, or the web in general, or snoopy posters. Blaming what people are obsessed with for the problems is going out of your way to misunderstand the situation.
