And that, really, is why I hate that Facebook chat. But because you are Facebook friends, there is this (widespread! popular!) tendency to think that chatting isn't so great a leap from where you are now. I'm confused, though, because you say you've read the post and you also say that you are older than 18, so you must know that I think you shouldn't chat this person. Oh THAT post? In which I dismissed Facebook chat as the dumbest thing on the planet, and said that anybody who is over the age of 18 shouldn't use it? That went over really smoothly, and nobody had any qualms with that suggestion whatsoever! It's so nice when we can all agree on something serious and important. We are Facebook friends and he recently moved near me - he's a year out of college, I'm a senior - and I was wondering if it was weird to start Facebook chatting him. There's this guy that I knew years ago, and I had a huge crush on him. I just saw your post on Facebook chat, and thought to ask you a question I was wondering about. Another way to know? The friend who invites the other friend to Gchat is the one who is just better. It seems so simple when I say it like that, if I do say so myself. So how do you decide? The person who invites the other person to Gchat is the person who has something to talk to the other one about and who wants to do that talking by Gchat.
If so, get the H out of here, you knucklehead! All this decision comes down to is whether or not you're trying to make some sort of annoying-ass power play. You are already friends with this person. What I mean is that it doesn't matter that much, in and of itself, who adds whom as a friend and who invites whom to Gchat. Haha! Just kidding, dooooo not quote me on that out of context. Would you invite this guy to Gchat if the invitation were sent in a golden envelope on a platter and everyone in his office saw it being delivered? Would you still favorite a tweet if it meant the person who tweeted it got a kiss on the cheek to let them know you liked it? Would you add that girl as a friend if you had to ACTUALLY HANG OUT?Īs it is, there are practically zero consequences of anything you do online. Just think, for a second, how much easier it would be to decide whether or not to click "Invite to Chat" or "Retweet" or "Like" if there were a corresponding real-life action that went along with it. In any given pair of people who know they know each other and know they could/should be Gchatting, but who are not already on each other's Chat "lists," how do they/you "decide" (without saying anything out loud) who invites whom? It just means that the only Facebook you can control - well, partly, anyway - is your own. This doesn't mean all your friends have perfectly sound reasons, or that they aren't sometimes a little jerky, or that none of your comments were funny. No, it's not a dick move to remove something you don't like from an area that (however loosely, in this futuristic space world) belongs to you. If I were you, I'd be wondering more about why that is than whether or not the Facebook friends in question should delete them. Something about them is making the people you write them to want to get rid of them. I realize that might sound accusatory or maybe even - in some crazy world - a little mean, but the fact of the matter is that however you meant your comments, whatever they were intended to deliver, they are being received like outsider puke in the hallway. So yes, I am calling your comments throw-up. Is it OK if that person cleans up once you're gone? You walk up to each house, press each doorbell, say "hey" to each friend, and then you walk into the kitchen and throw up, and then you throw up a little more in the hallway and bedroom. OK, bear with me for a second because I do NOT think you are going to like this analogy, but, ummm, I'm going to use it anyway: Let's say you went over to seven or eight of your so-called friends' houses every day and just threw up everywhere.
Is it a dick move for someone to delete comments I make on their Facebook posts?
