Facebook Related: You Ever Have One Of Those People...

I had a family member on fb like that.. thankfully they deactivated fb so I don't have to deal with it anymore. I'm not one to argue in a public forum.. esp not one to argue with family -- it made for many difficult moments

 

yeah, I've blocked a few "friends" like that, or removed them. like, really "person from high school who I haven't seen in 15 years and hardly know", you don't actually know everything about everything

 

Yeah, my best friend's husband is like that. It always frustrates me. I disagree with him on most major issues, but don't feel the need to always be rude and point out his idiotic thinking to the world. Now, I always think twice before posting something because of him, which really makes me mad. But other than that, he is a great guy, so I just try to ignore it and hope he'll get more friends and not see everything I post.

 

You can make lists of people who see certain things you post. So like for example, put him in a list of "annoying people" or something like that and when you post something you can choose who (what list) sees what you're posting.

 

I defriended someone like this not too long ago. Let out a big sigh of relief and never looked back! Although I do have to say that they're quite a bit more annoying in person *coughcough*mybrother*coughcough*

 

Ugh! I am all for blocking or unfriending annoying people! You can block this person from posting on your wall so she can keep her opinions to herself. Facebook keeps changing how you can make lists but I found this...


You can also edit your lists or create custom lists right from your home page:
Click the Home link (along the top-right of every Facebook page)
Find the list you want to edit in the left column, or click the More link next to Lists
Select the list you want to edit or click Create a List
Search for your friends in the search bar at the top of the page, or add people from the List Suggestions on the right

 

Yeah that is really annoying. I have a list, so only certain people see only certain things too.

 

yup! these are the people i unsubscribe to and have in my 'fb friends only' list.

 

Yep! And I've now setup groups on FB so that if I'm posting about Scrapbooking stuff it goes to ScrapFriends, if its Family things, then Family gets to read, and so on and so on. I just didn't want to have to deal with some people so I put them into a group all to themselves.

 

Oh yes, I have friends like that too... I just completely ignore their comments or delete them(cuz you do have that power. LOL!)

 

So you shouldn't feel too bad! She disagrees with famous poets, too!

 

i have no idea what you're talking about. i never have that happen on fb, LeeAndra.



seriously though...yes! i totally know what type of person you are talking about. it's not pleasant.

 

OMG tell me about it--although in my case, it wasn't someone arguing with my posts. SHE was constantly posting up horrible animal mistreatment stories, people mistreatment stories ad infinitum. She was even depressing herSELF about it. I had to block her. I didn't defriend her, just blocked her.

And yeah, you can be pickier about who sees what you post, and what you see from their posts. However, one thing I haven't been able to figure out is, how do you stop seeing communications between your friends and THEIR friends on your board? Drives me nuts, and I hate it. It's FB clutter, and I honestly don't care to see what my younger relatives are planning with their friends, or what fun they've had with other relatives, you know? Does anyone know how to block that friend-of-a-friend stuff from their wall?

 

I just saw this and thought it was appropriate.

 

oh my gosh! i love this!!!
