I hate the way Facebook is trying to creep into my life. My Facebook friends list is probably bigger than it should be, but I do try to be careful what I share and scrupulously update privacy settings to limit what I share with, say, my in-laws. It seems that Facebook just isn’t taking no for an answer. The website I use to watch TV shows now has a message underneath “tell your friends on Facebook what you think of this show” and on log in sites, such as for the COAST’s LTWWB page, I am now being prompted to use my Facebook login. In fact, now I must take an extra step to avoid using my Facebook login. No thanks, K? I don’t want to share every aspect of my life, and I don’t care what shows or shops my friends like, and I sure as shit don’t want them reading my rants on this page. —Ophelia Rass

I don’t really care about facebook one way or the other, but I also have to be careful, one of the computers in my home automatically logs into The Coast and posts my facebook picture and FULL NAME and everything. Totally fucking annoying. I ended up creating ANOTHER coast account because of this just so I could change the picture and get my fucking name off of this webpage, which I did on The Coast “modify your profile page”, but my facebook picture still comes up. I think I may have to change my facebook pic to be a pic of my asshole to hopefully get someone’s attention about this.
If you don’t like it, then don’t fucking use it. It’s that simple.

now the answer is very simple o.p., just delete your facebook account. either that, or just pay no attention to it all. either way, it’s your life, and call.
Yeahbut.. guys cranky makes a really good point..
Cranky’s not the only one that got caught in the trap…
*cough ralmn*….
It’s being incorporated into everything and I, for one, certainly don’t like it.
Though there’s not much that can be done other than taking a few extra minutes to verify what exactly it is you’re doing when you click submit.
1) You haven’t been assimilated against your will.
2) You can leave the collective anytime you want.
3) Resistance is damned satisfying.

IF you’re too stund to simply dump your facebook account…no one here can ever help you !
What’s this? What’s happening? They can see me?
I know I clicked “like” once, totallyk by mistake and it showed up in my FB feed! And it was a really nasty bitch about someone… I didn’t LIKE it at all!
I would rather not have anyone on my facebook account find out that my name is not #### ######, and i am really a miserable coot named GV on this forum. If you guys ever read the stuff that i write on FB, I would be shamed and embarrassed. 😉
the anonymity comes not from the masses…
but from people you actually know not realizing their reading your curse-a-plenty comments on a public forum.
Yikes. The anonymity is why I comment here. I only know a few bitchers. Anyway, I don’t comment much now… and won’t any more if it’s going FB stalk me. 🙁
“elmo knows where you live” don’t be so foolish ralmn
The extra step to use my Coast account struck me as odd as well OP. Also, I can’t get my browser to remember my password. The one at work does, home doesn’t. It remembers other passwords.
Facebook is not the Navy SEAL to your Usama bin Laden, OB.
Your claim that it’s trying to creep into your life is like Berkowitz’s claim that a 10,000 year old dog told him to kill.
When last I checked, FB users cannot dump their FB accounts. FB accounts can only be de-activated. This means that all profile/account data is retained by FB, allowing the profile/account to be re-activated at a later date. Then, the user profile/account magically re-appears looking exactly as it did at the time of de-activation.
Whether or not your FB profile/account is active, it’s always going to be there, floating around the data netherworlds.
Ain’t it grand 🙂
No ralmn — that happened to rosie!
I will NOT fuck facebook! The last time I did the keys got all sticky!
So, how does that work? This is supposed to be an anonymous forum, if I sign in with my FB account(which I’d never do), will what I post here, end up on Facebook? So much for anonymity.
Here’s an idea, close your Facebook account!!
Fool on the Hill – you can in fact delete your Facebook account, they just don’t make it obvious. I recently deleted my account and it worked.
I used these instructions to do it:

I love how people go on networking sites like FB and think they have any rights to ‘privacy.’
Just because it’s free doesn’t make it a publicly owned entity. When you created your page you agreed to the terms of service.
Anyone who thinks they ‘own’ their FB page and expects the shit they upload to remain ‘private’ is a complete and utter moron.
Don’t like it? Well then ya shouldn’t’ve signed up for a FB account in the first place. No one put a gun to your head and forced you to do it. So suck it the fuck up.
It’s the fucking INTERNET. Tip: don’t post anything you don’t want the general populace to see, morons.
OB, no one forced you to use Facebook. You chose it. Now it rules your life. Live with the consequences of your actions, or delete the account.
I made the mistake of linking Coast to my FB and couldn’t unlink..ITS A TRAP! :'(
It is a trap! http://nerdcityonline.com/wp-content/uploa…
I’ve created a fake facebook account in an attempt to disconnect the connection between The Coast and my real facebook account. As it stands, if it doesn’t work I won’t be using the laptop from home to look at The Coast anymore.
Maybe the people at The Coast can look into this?
That’s exactly what I did. I had an old dead account I remembered the password to so I linked it to that one. It worked. I don’t want ya’ll seeing my FB DP! 😛
BTW I contacted The Coast about it. Besides deleting cookies and such, there was nothing they said I could do.
Hey guys,
As far as I knew that was the fix… if logging out and deleting your cookies then logging back in under your coast account isn’t working I will find out how to fix this. Just sent an email off to tech support, when they get back to me with a fix I’ll let you know/post it here.
Sorry guys!
there is a simple solution to this…..if anyone clicks on the ‘like’ button, we should get an ‘are you sure?’ dialog.
That is all that is required to prevent us from revealing our secret identities to our FB friends.
You guy’s out there who support & participate with face crack !
This is for you !

& PK, calls me a moron !
What exactly is the descriptive word to describe face crack losers !
…You realize that video isn’t real, right, More?
They are working on it, for now I can delete the Facebook ID off your account manually. I did that for The J’Yo so hopefully it works… let me know… I checked ralmn and Cranky’s accounts, but there was no Facebook ID listed so I’m not sure what the problem is… do you guys still find that it registers you as on Facebook when you log in?
oooh! From a reputable news source like The Onion!
I won’t know until I get home. This has nothing to do with my Cranky (ha) account. How it started was I went to respond to a Bitch on my laptop while also logged in to facebook(facebook may or may not have been on in the background) and The Coast didn’t prompt me to login (as Cranky) after I hit “Preview Comment” it just dumped the response online with my full name and FB picture. A little (lot) disconcerting for a website such as The Coast that has such an extensive Privacy Policy requiring court orders etc. I have changed the picture on The Coast and yet it still shows whatever I happen to change my FB profile to.

-Says the hormonal bitch who loves to share every intimate detail of her life on LTWWB. I can’t even begin to imagine what her FB wall looks like.
Yeah, so if I am logged into FB and I open up TheCoast.com it automatically logs me into TheCoast.Com under my FB name (no prompt or anything, it just appears magically in the top right) with picture and all. If I log out and relogin as Cranky it seems to be ok. I’ll just have to be careful.
Thanks for the tip, Crank. I am usually pretty careful (paranoid) so I usually quit Firefox, reboot, flush out the cookies and then go to the next site. Because of this, I may log into the coast 5 or 6 times a day. Knowledge is Power.
