Great partnership, however I do not want to become one with the Facebook collective. I spend too much time over there already. Aside from my personal feelings

Great partnership, however I do not want to become one with the Facebook collective. I spend too much time over there already. Aside from my personal feelings about Facebook being the devil, congrats on a neat feature.

Facebook isn't the devil, it's just a bunch of nerds running a hugely complicated system and trying to be self-sustainable. Anything else is simple paranoia.

  "... Anything else is simple paranoia." Not commenting on whether or not Facebook is "evil" as I just don't know. But we really need an antonym for 'paranoia' that is just as condescending. Whenever someone raises a valid concern when people reuse their password everywhere, when a company pushes the privacy boundary, when people don't make backups, etc, they are often faced with dismissive replies such as "Oh who is going to bother hacking me?", "Oh you are just paranoid" etc. 'Hapless' may be? Relevant xkcd http://xkcd.com/743/ http://xkcd.com/743/ In reply to your comment, flyt, "trying to be self-sustainable" is the end. This doesn't preclude "evil" as the means.

Whenever anything with Facebook goes up on Hacker News why does at least one person always feel like mentioning that either they "dislike using facebook" or "don't use facebook at all"?
