I think it terrible form to see such an announcement as an opening for any kind of an argument–especially a topic as fragile as her family’s religion. I regret you had to deal with it on such a happy occasion.

Having said this: congratulations!

Ah and I’ve an observation of my own to offer: My wife referred to our new marriage in a Facebook status — “We are so happy” or something of that perfectly-boilerplate sort. Yet this some of the Philistines took not as an opportunity to murmur something appositely pleasant but as a challenge to mount theological theses — she having married outside her family’s religion. Ten-paragraph stridencies emitted from tens of Fundamentalist “friends”.

Grassroots religions are themselves faux pas.

“I think the sooner we realize that everything we do on social networks has the potential to intrude or otherwise inconvenience someone, we’ll be better equipped to develop meaningful, and long-lasting connections with others.” Brava!

But *have* you spent much time with young plebeians *offline*? They do not anymore care about intruding upon or otherwise inconveniencing others in their houses than in cyberspace.

Yet a queen of internet etiquette is badly wanted, lest anybody *should* desire to bend to her rule. Accept the crown!

You know, KTP, it’s funny, but even after this blog post I am still having all these things occur to me–with even MORE frequency. Where before it merely annoyed me, now I actually get nosebleeds over it!

It bugs me when people send me a "beer" or a "hug" or a "gift" using Facebook. I'm sorry, but none of those things are real. If you want to send me a gift, I am all over the internet elsewhere, and totally find-able. I am also available to accept free drinks IRL on Tuesday evenings. Hmm, maybe I'd better make that known on my Facebook page. OMG, KTPs last blog post: A Whrrl Poem

Actually, *I* would just show up on your doorstep and ring the bell. But I would not just stand there if it’s any consolation. But not in a creepy guy from the internet way, more like a creepy Mormon or Census taker kind of way.

I have totally gotten into a wall fight…on my own wall

OMG, I seriously hate the wall fights! Worse still, when I tag people for certain, civilized, discussions and they start off by attacking me and slinging names! WTF?! I agree with your assessment, that you don't accept people screaming in your parlor, so why put up with it on teh Intersnets? OMG, Lauras last blog post: My embarrassing workout playlist
