Yes that's pretty bizarre. You could have just unfriened and blocked the person. I'll communicate with people I don't know from the groups I'm a member of, but just because we talk knives or guns or whatever, doesn't mean I add them as friends to my account. I'm very locked down on Facebook. Safer that way.RLDubbya wrote:I stopped using FB a few months ago; I do miss it. I had made quite a few friends around the world. Unfortunately, I also picked up stalkers - by that I mean they would never message me when I was not online, but within 2-5 minutes of me logging in, they would start to message me. Agressively. They were doing this every single time I logged in - it got to be just plain creepy. The content of their messages got weirder and weirder: I mentioned something about liking chocolate milk, and one of them (who knows I used to love to drink scotch, but that I can't anymore because of severe liver damage from the cancer) immediately posted on my page and message me about this incredibly great scotch he had.
When I was rushed to the ICU, and had to be put in a coma and intubated for a week, I had a lot of people wishing me well. However, there was one person in particular who posted repeatedly that he did not believe me at all; that I was lying about being in the ICU, and that it never happened.
It kept getting weirder and weirder, and eventually I felt like I was driven off FB. Even my friends commented about it.
I think if the UI could be programmed so that people cannot tell when you are online, that would help a lot.
I hope that the Spydie page / group does well. The more people we can get talking about the quality knives that Spyderco makes, the better. There is a perception amongst many people that only "undesireable elements of society" are into knives. We have to change that; we have to set a good example, and show these people that's not the case at all.
Thanks for the link, David. I don't have FB, but this was an interesting read. :)David Lowry wrote:Here is the link for those wondering....

Why do you automatically assume that (a) I need your help (b) I'm a complete and total idiot who doesn't know how to use software? Why do you not, instead, say to yourselves something like: well, there's more to the story than he's explaining. That is a weird situation he's got going on, it's too bad. And then publicly say something polite, and caring like "Dude, that sucks. Sorry you're having that issue. If I can help you in any way, please let me know."
Like Evil D, I keep work people off of my Facebook. When they ask to add me I just tell them that I'm keeping it separate. I came to that conclusion after a year or so of adding many co workers so I removed them all and told them why. It was awkward but they got over it.RLDubbya wrote:How would you guys with the answers suggest I deal with the the fact that I do know these people, and have existing professional relationships with them?

David, is there any way you can possibly re-post this link? For some reason,it is no longer working for me. Thank you in advance and apologies for the bother. :)David Lowry wrote:Here is the link for those wondering....

That link works. The group is now private so you need to join to before you can view it. I would open FB and search "Spyderco Official" and then request to join.SpyderNut wrote:David, is there any way you can possibly re-post this link? For some reason,it is no longer working for me.

Another case for needing a "like" button here. Well said.zenheretic wrote: I do feel Taz's job over there will be difficult. The Facebook expectation of instantaneous replies is even more unrealistic than sending emails to a company website.
