Lots of hate and Islamophibia has really upset me tonight. Why are people so horrid? Sad Why cant we get along? Live a happy life in a happy place - but Twitter is ust disgusting. So sad. I normally avoid sp this was an accident.

What your FB and Twitter look like is down to you, though, you choose your FB friends, and who to follow on Twitter.

There's a "mute" function on twitter, not as drastic as blocking someone. I haven't used it but apparently you can mute other users or mute by word (tonight, "budget" might be a good one).

Sometimes? Fucking all the time.

Twitter's poison because of retweets causing dogpiles, plus massive amplification of terrible things. I'm just checking it out again after a couple of years off, and I've unfollowed half the people I had and added about thirty mute keywords to keep the depressing crap to a minimum.

Facebook is just utter garbage in all respects. Even when it's working well, all it does is make sure you have no reason whatsoever to meet up with your friends in person because you'll have nothing new to talk about. At its worst it's a horrible social experiment and personal information harvesting machine. The only useful thing it does is remind me of friend's birthdays a week in advance - by email, so I don't have to look at the horrible thing.

Lol SpoonBlender - thank you for understanding. I didnt know you could mute by word Hirples. Although if I mute something its still happening - like the tree that falls in a forest that doesnt have anyone to hear a crash. Although... hmm.. anyway, less twitter, more work Smile mN vipers are easier to deal with.
