Excessive posting? ... Interesting.....

[GHT]

I can understand excessive posting, but what do you call the creepy friend counters on Facebook who only seem to want thousands of "friends"?

Ah! The sort of people that have thousands of friends yet never receive a birthday card from one of them. Lost count of the times that I have told a younger person: "The only way you will ever make friends is to go up to a stranger and say hello."

I get blank stares, it seems beyond their reasoning capacity that friends were once strangers. Friends in their vocabulary equate to vintage68's definition. Yet, strangely, I somehow feel the warmth of friendship whenever I visit this site. It may be a common shared interest, it may be reasoned argument, but although there is all sorts of friend/foe unfriend doo-dah in my profile page, which I ignore, because their insidious effects, I still find this site compelling.

Are you all a load of control freaks, or what?

Thought I'd share this, just 'cause it's such a wonderful image. I know ya'll were talking about cars, but:

"Gent poses with his circa 1914 Indian V-twin motorcycle in Waco. This image was taken from a glass plate negative, and it is likely that the man paid the photographer for the photo."

I do think that the Lounge gives people the chance to discuss ideas, themes, and culture that other sites just don't. Facebook usually just skates along the surface.

Facebook has devolved into food and cat pictures, along with the like whores and their asinine pictures meant to tug at your heart, with sayings like 1 like = 1 respect, as if respect is quantifiable.

It is if you are talking about someone you dislike.
Then the number changes to 0.
As in 0 respect.

Mae, thanks for warming up to the idea of posting something motorized here.
At least it wasn't sparkly.
BTW, is that Lizzie's bike?
Seems like she posted a pic of it awhile back.

Facebook User Jailed for Trolling Herself

5 February 2014

A woman has become the first person in Britain to be jailed for trolling herself – after bombarding her own Facebook page with abuse.

Michelle Chapman, 24, launched her bizarre online campaign after falling out with her father and new stepmother, a court heard.

She created bogus Facebook accounts for the couple and other family members and sent herself hundreds of vile sexual taunts.

Chapman then reported the abuse to police – claiming she had been trolled – to frame them.

Officers arrested her stepmother and issued warnings to her father and other bewildered relatives.

Chapman’s year-long vendetta was only rumbled when internet experts established the offending Facebook accounts had been set up using the computer at her home in Par, Cornwall.

Details of her plot were revealed at Truro Crown Court in Cornwall, where Chapman was jailed for 20 months. At an earlier hearing, she admitted carrying out actions tending or intended to pervert the course of justice by sending herself degrading emails between February 2011 and March 2012.

Judge Christopher Harvey Clark confiscated her computer and gave her a restraining order against contacting her victims.

He told her: ‘People have suffered a great deal of distress as a result of your wicked behaviour.’

Chapman fell out with some members of her family after attempting a reunion with her father, Roy Jackson, whom she had not seen for 21 years.

Mr Jackson had decided to trace his daughter after marrying Louise Steen in 2010, but when Chapman travelled to his home in the north of England they quarrelled.

Philip Lee, prosecuting, said Chapman was upset and began her revenge plot by creating a Facebook account for her new stepmother and using it to send abusive messages to her father in an attempt to split them up.

She then set up more profiles for her relatives, complete with photos, and spent the next year sending messages of a ‘very unpleasant sexual nature’ to her own account. Mr Lee said Chapman made several complaints to police and gave eight written statements between February and October 2011.
