I blog, and speak and whatnot. And you guys hear me, or read me or whatever, and want to be my Facebook friend. At any given time I have 3-4 friend requests. You want to be my Facebook friend and, well, I don’t know you – meaning, we have never had a conversation, never exchanged emails, never shared a beer or watched a movie together. I would even count twitter interactions, and you and I have not even done that.

So, I am not going to friend you. Nothing personal. I am just trying to create a safe space for me and my family.

If you just want to stay up with my goings on, please follow me on twitter.  That is where the action is, anyway.  If you just hate twitter and only use Facebook, well, I have a page there that gets auto updates, you can read and comment on my stuff, etc.  Please feel free to become a fan.

Look, I hope you don’t take this personally. But if your ego is dependent upon whose 48×48 photo is on your page, maybe you need to reconsider some things.
