Should there be a Facebook Stalker Forum?

That way if we want to read multiple interpretations of Facebook status's we can just go there. It's pathetic on a real board.

PS - I'm not joking.

I completely agree. The last couple weeks it has crossed a line IMO.

Yes, this would be a fine idea.

Yes. In order to participate, they must post a link to their own facebook account, so that we can all speculate about their activities and everything they post.

I'd say that if there are people that are dumb enough to have a facebook, then they should expect anything as a result of it.

I like facebook and I think it is a good thing. However I think athlete worshipping dorks who become facebook "friends" with the basketball players so they can scurry back to a message board to help interpret a status update are not only doing a disservice to the player but they are flat out embarrassing themselves.

i do not have one though

i think people will realize that Facebook is not a good thing. we were interviewing some "young" adults for a job at our firm, went to their facebook page to see if we could learn more and we learned a lot (nothing good). so they ended up not being offered the job. I think there are somethings you want to keep private in your life and facebook is making that about impossible.

I don't understand why looking at someone's facebook status is so bad. It's no different than checking a twitter feed, and that seems to be perfectly fine.

Agreed. I have one, but it's set on private and I only allow people on that I know. To some capacity at least. That, and I don't put my life story on it either.

I have no problems with people being interested in an athlete's FB and Twitter, it's when you over-analyze every single thing posted that it gets creeper and stalker-ish.

I know what you mean, however message board people would be the least of my worries if I had a facebook. I would be more concerned about serial killers, perverts, con artists, identity thieves, jealous husbands, etc.
