rubitinyourfacebook?

I've heard people refer to facebook as "rub it in your face-book" quite a lot over the past months, and it does seem to me that, certainly as Christians, but also just as nice people (do those two things always go hand in hand I wonder?), whether we should be posting things and writing things that, either deliberately or not, really hurt other people?

I read another comment somewhere on the ether that your facebook profile is essentially what you want the world to see about you. It's entirely calculated; you can tweak it here and there to reflect how you wish to be seen by others. In the same way, we each have a lot of control over what we put up there which could potentially hurt our BROTHERS AND SISTERS. I say that in capitals because that's what we are to each other. You might not share the same earthly parents, but you share a heavenly Father and it just constantly amazes me how people can either be so callous or so ignorant as to post things that are obviously going to hurt other people.

You do realise, don't you, that if you break up with somebody and your relationship status posts this all over the internet, that you can delete that bit of information from your Mini-feed? It's quite easy to do. You can choose what bits of information get posted all over the news updates by controlling what appears in your mini-feed, and you can also go through your privacy settings and tweak things here and there. It really isn't hard, you've just got to get over the mindset of "technical-aaargh" which never helps.

Ok, rant over. I've just been upset by things that I can see that have obviously hurt other people and it annoys and upsets me that we call ourselves Christians and then have this cavalier attitude to our brothers' and sisters' emotional and spiritual well-being.
