What you've said here sums up a lot of why I don't actually want to be a part of Facebook. Online games existed a LONG time before Facebook came along. Facebook just made it possible for you to be a virtual asshole and pretend that you aren't really one. blah!
I'm with you, if you can't say it to someone in person or at least in a format that identifies you easily then don't say it at all!
That's just me though. I understand the draw of social networks but I am very concerned about the impact it is having on our upcoming generations ability to interact with each other in person. Most peoples communication and social skills suck and now we have created an artificial environment where they can interact without a lot of the consequences of doing it in person. Recipe for disaster IMHO.
