Ever lost a friend over a Facebook Fight?

[Dr. M]

Ever had a Facebook Fight? Where a post goes viral and everyone weighs in and your Facebook friends list gets trashed and you lose friends over it?

I was just wondering, do you purge your friends list over things like this? Avoid posting anything controversial on your Facebook account that you think others might not like? Do you say it anyways? Do you only have the closest people in your life on your Facebook to avoid such things, just keep adding the friends but make it so you can't see them? Ever lost friends over something on a Facebook Fight?

Haha I almost did. It seems people are more sensitive on cyber-related resources.

I don't have any (nor do I care to have any) friends that would get upset over such a silly thing as Facebook.

I'm your typical high schooler, most people I know (whether I'm close to them or not) are my Facebook friends, and if I have something to say, I'll post it as my status. Sometimes people do get in arguments over posts, but the people I'm close to have enough common sense to say something along the lines of "Let's drop this for now, we can talk about it in person tomorrow." For this reason, I've never lost a friend to a Facebook fight.

I think people get crazy over comments and statuses. They're at home, alone, sitting behind a computer where they can express whatever they think, but I think sometimes people forget that eventually, they have to come out from behind the monitor and own up to what they said online. People get sensitive online because you can't sense tone from reading a typed message. Some statements need to be said in person just because of the numerous ways they could be interpreted. I've seen many friendships go down the tubes because someone said something like "whatever" or just the dreaded "okay."

Facebook fights tend to pass in a few days, or maybe a week or so. The rule i go by for accepting friends is, Family and Personal friends first. Then any one that you have personally met and is positive in YOUR life.

Lock up your profile so only your friends can see what you want them to see.

Im pretty free to voice my opinions on whatever I feel about something. However, saying today sucked, my boss is an idiot, utah drivers suck....etc.... none of those have to specifically do with people I know on facebook. If you post it, consider it a messg right to their inbox. Cause thats basically what facebook is. You KNOW everyone can read it., so dont act surprised when they do and are hurt.

Nope.
I usually don't make friends with liberals and hippies.
