Running Thought of the Day Number One

"There’s something so wonderfully satisfying about the “BLOCK” feature on Facebook.  

It’s like grabbing a new roll of duct-tape and wrapping up all the freakin’ nasty holes in the tubes of the Inter-webs that are pouring down upon you from your past.  
People we never want to hear from again but who have been peeking at our profiles on a daily basis are magically DUCT TAPED away!  This isn’t a satisfaction “form of malice kind of thing” it’s more of a STOP STARING AT US form of privacy insurance that warms the cockles of my heart.  

I have major issues with Facebook security and their data-mining of my personal information BUT, at least they offer us a virtual roll of duct-tape with which we can banish those whom we don’t want to “hear from” to the Block List.  Sometimes “BLOCKAGE” can be a very good thing!"
