More about r.p.c.a. and Facebook

I admit that I often skim over a lot of messages, especially if it is a long thread. However, it wouldn't surprise me if I had actually replied to some of his messages and then forgotten about it. For one thing, I don't always associate the name with the message. MaryL If I am correct Robert used to go by Bobcat who has been posting since 2001 and I think Dusty is or was one of his cats. I deal with so many people everyday now I can't keep names straight anymore ;-) |

(I've been a "regular" for nearly ten years, and I've never encountered him before.) I think you're lying. I think you're wrong (and it wouldn't be the first time either ). It is possible that Evelyn really didn't notice the creature. I felt the same as she did, but decided to check. To my surprise Robert (or Bob) Catt has about 35 messages here on rpca for the past one year. I'm certain I've read every one of them (I read all messages), but the name rang no bell; it's as if they slid accross and did not register at all. I'm guessing something similar happened to Evelyn's perceptions. Anyhow, I for one won't miss him, as I was not even aware he was here before. Isn't he the same guy who posts about Mooch, the neighborhood friendly feral who lives in a house he built for him on the front porch? Joyce -- Joyce There is no alternative to being yourself. |

Maybe you missed it, Joyce, but the way the individual acted certainly wasn't trivial, it led to several people leaving the group permanently. You mean this little argument about facebook? People left over that?? Feel free to email me privately if that isn't what you're talking about. No sense dragging everyone through something unpleasant twice. Just remove the XXX from my username before sending. E-mail sent. It was not about facebook. Got it! And sent a reply. Thanks for the reminder. I was here when all that happened, but I had completely forgotten it. Such is the state of my memory these days... I got Adrian's email too. -- Joyce There is no alternative to being yourself. |

"Adrian" wrote in message ... wrote: For the reasons I've given here in a previous post, and after a brief interchange with a certain member of this newsgroup, I've decided to restrict my involvement with r.p.c.a. to its group at Facebook. Other people have written to me me about this individual, and their comments about him are part of the reason I will no longer be reading or posting to this newsgroup. As of today I've removed it from my list. I think it was pretty childish of people to send private emails about someone on this group, in response to a public disagreement that stayed entirely wihin the bounds of civility, if not warm fuzzies. Almost everyone on this newsgroup gets grumpy from time to time, so why does "this individual" get singled out for sneaky gossip? I've never seen the aforementioned individual do anything reprehensible here. He's opinionated, but so are many of us. On the other hand, if that trivial disagreement is the worst thing Robert has seen on usenet, maybe he really *doesn't* belong here. Maybe you missed it, Joyce, but the way the individual acted certainly wasn't trivial, it led to several people leaving the group permanently. -- Adrian - - - - - - - - - - I'm puzzled about this. I don't have any idea who or what all of you are talking about. The whole thing is too cryptic for someone who isn't "in" on the controversy. MaryL |

"jmcquown" wrote I really don't understand peoples hostility to Facebook when they're happy to use usenet which is accessible by anybody. With Facebook, you can decide who can or can't see your posts. -- Adrian That's *exactly* the problem I have with Facebook. I don't have to want to be invited to join. It reminds me a lot of moderated newsgroups and web forums where people can decide what you can and cannot post. With rpca on usenet, I can easily killfile someone (and vice versa) if I don't like the things they're posting. Jill It's simple to killfile on Facebook. Shoot me an email if interested in learning how to do it. |

More about r.p.c.a. and Facebook
"Judith Latham" wrote employers check out facebook if you apply for a job. It's worrying as things can be posted on facebook that you don't know about and again, have no control over. No one sees your posts on Facebook unless you allow them to. Learning how to control who can see your posts takes a little bit of investigation but is really not difficult at all. As to r.p.c.a. on FB, unless you are a member, you can't even read the posts on the group. |

What I like to do is find out how others think....and not require permission to do it. MLB |

In addition, Facebook is notorious for sharing information. The r.p.c.a. group seems to be an "invite only" group, but even that would require members to use personal information to sign up. Facebook has a history of changing their "rules" in ways that may not be acceptable to users. MaryL I agree. There are far too many people trying to control me, some I have to tolerate but I refuse to have it in my personal life. Also many employers check out facebook if you apply for a job. It's worrying as things can be posted on facebook that you don't know about and again, have no control over. Facebook? No thanks. Judith I have had a "friend" "tag" one of my photos that I didn't want public and by "tagging" me made the photo available to all other FB users. However, if it's the only way to communicate with a lot of now "FB only" friends, then I'll suck it up and do it. This group is too precious to me to avoid it in any way. -- Hugs, CatNipped See all our masters at: http://www.PossiblePlaces.com/CatNipped See the RPCA FAQ site, created by "Yowie", maintained by Mark Edwards, at: http://www.professional-geek.net/rpcablog/ Email: L(dot)T(dot)Crews(at)comcast(dot)net |
