I observe that behavior on the part of a number of FB users.
Lack of common sense IMHO.

I've only had one episode on my own FB page in nearly a decade of use.
I simply "blocked" that person. And that was the end of that.

The value that I enjoy on a daily basis
far outweighs the little bit of stupid that shows up
within my personal networks.
Examples:
A number of people on the LUG also show up on FB.
Some of their postings are redundant
though more often I get to experienced another nuanced side of them
that would not come up on the LUG.
In other words I get to "know them" just a little better.

A couple FB friends actually edit and proof things
which keeps me on my toes - and better informs me.

I get to meet some of my daughter's friends;
and see her interact with them in ways she'd not interact with me.
And vice versa.

I like (some) people. I like "knowing" the people I like.
