Quote of the day: The appearance of a relationship is enough... even online

nice to see Jay cited (0.00 / 0)

Anyway, I agree with Patrick Murray:

"The person who decides to start something and make a stink about this is almost certainly going to have somebody on his or her friends list that is equally embarrassing,"

It would be silly to make a fuss over someone's personal choices. I'm all for those who feel betrayed un-friending and commenting, etc., but at the same time, it's great to stay friends if you really are, or just want to see what happens next.  Being a "friend" on facebook can have many meanings.

friending (0.00 / 0)

There is entirely too much facebook friending going on in the first place.  Most of the facebookers who ask to be my friend have no relationship with me and no common interests that either of us know about.   On the other hand, if you are somebody's friend, you don't dump them the minute they get in trouble.

missing the point (4.00 / 1)

My take is this has nothing to do with friending or questionable associations and has everything to do with making a public statement about political corruption.  FB is the new "Town Square" and Jay took a stand on a very busy corner. And if any one actually cared what I had to say, I'd do the same thing!
