Y know what pisses me off? People who only allow replies from people on their Friends List, or "Screen out comments from non-friends". It's a public post, out there for anybody to see, but they don't want anybody that they don't know commenting on it. It just doesn't make sense to me! If you have something to say that you only want your friends t comment about, why not just make it a "Friends Only" post? That way, I would never even SEE the post in the first place, never click on the "Reply To This Post", spend 20 minutes writing a carefully thought-out and deelightfuly insightful reply, and then have my words rejected without even having been considered!

REAL LIFE EXAMPLE

Let's say there's a person standing on a street corner, shouting out "Someone help me! I'm lost! I need help! Can anyone help me? ANYONE??? Anyone at all? Why doesn't anyone care?" Being the nice, caring guy that I am, I stop by and listen to this person go on and on abou their problem, and how they are so full of woe over the fact that absolutely NO ONE in the ENTIRE WORLD will even stop to listen or help. I open my mouth to offer words of condolence when suddenly the person just turns away from me. Without even looking at me, they say "Not *you*... I only want my FRIENDS to offer me help. How *dare* you try to comment n my problems?"

And then they punch me in the nutsack and cntinue to yell out about their problems and how upset they are that absolutely NO ONE will help them.

So in short, please, if it's something you only want your frinds to comment on? Make it a Friends Only post. Thanks!
