They are all adults now, ranging in age from 23 - 28 and have been on Facebook since high school. Back then we sat down and discussed the pros and cons of the internet and specifically Facebook. I trusted my kids back then and I trust them even more now. They requested that SWMBO and I not join Facebook so that they could have their privacy. We went along with that request. Please consider another father talk with your kids. Anything posted to FB is public info. Regardless of privacy settings. Sounds like your kids need some instruction on how to NOT post personal information on the computer. Why do you think I need to talk to my kids? What in my original post indicates that my kids don't understand how Facebook works? Why do you think that they are posting "personal information on the computer"? 1) Some thing they are posting, they don't want you to see Not true. Wanting their privacy is very different than not wanting us to see what they post. That might be hard for some to understand, but I get it. In addition, we have lots of family members, including my (and SWMBO's) brothers and sisters who are FB friends with my kids. If my kids were trying to hide things from us, Facebook would not be the place to do it. They simply asked for some separation and we honored that request. It's called trust and respect. 2) Nothing. What, in my reply, makes you think I said any thing about your kids knowing how FB works? I quote: "Please consider another father talk with your kids. Anything posted to FB is public info. Regardless of privacy settings." Why would you suggest that I have "another" talk with my kids and then follow that with an explanation of how Facebook works unless you thought that they needed it explained to them? If the talk is not supposed to be about Facebook privacy settings/issues, just what are you suggesting that I talk to them about? 3) Because they asked *you* not to be on FB That was addressed in #1 above. Hey, if you don't want to take my advice, that's fine. Why spend post after post blathering on and on about it? Methinks thou doth protest too much. If you were truly comfortable and secure, you could easily have said no thank you, and been done with it. Why are you making so much effort, and changing the subject? Is that the best defense you have for your erroneous post? You know, you could just admit your error. Yes, it is legal and ethical to apologize on usenet. I'm not defending any thing. I'm suggesting to you that there are other ways to handle a moment when you don't like a suggestion. And, no, I will not apologize for making a sincere suggestion. You may wish to apologize for goal post shifting, changing the subject, and taking offense when none was meant. Your suggestion was based on your assumption that my kids "need some instruction on how to NOT post personal information on the computer. " (your words) That assumption was incorrect. That assumption was also a change of subject. You are assuming that I took offense. That is another incorrect assumption. I was not offended by your suggestion, but I do have the right to ask you why you made it. When you give your reasons, I have the right to point out the error in your thought process. That's called a conversation. You say that I don't want to take your advice. That is also incorrect. It's not that I don't *want* to take your advice, it's that I don't *need* to take your advice. Your suggestion was based on an incorrect assumption related to my kids' knowledge of internet privacy issues. You brought it up, I responded. Again, that's called a conversation. Well, for a guy who's not offended and not concerned what I think, you sure ramble on a lot.

Change of subject noted Yep, we went from Derby having a conversation with his kids to Chris and his suggestion. ...to Chris not seeing that his suggestion doesn't even apply to the situation because it is based on an incorrect assumption. The longer you try to prove there is no connection, the more obvious it is that you are troubled by some thing about your kids posting without your observing. Possibly, you, DD3, Trade4, Micky, MMacaw, and DonY should get together for OCD discussion? (I probably left out a few, sorry for that) |

I hope you don't waste too much of your time being concerned about something that doesn't exist. It would have been so, so easy to end this several posts ago. So why didn't you? As soon as I pointed out your error, you could have just said "OK, bye." Yet you keep implying that I have some kind of issue because I keep responding to your posts. You keep going on, which is evidence of concern on your part. Yes, I am concerned that you don't see the error in your thinking. It seems to me that instead of admitting your error, you just want to make sure you get the last word in. |

Derby was speaking about "personal privacy" with his children. A right to be left alone. Had nothing to do with "online privacy". You stepped into a turd pile. How many children do you have? And. You are trying to psychoanalyze a father of near grown children. Who are you to give advice on the Internet, when you have no children? Did you get your Psychology Degree on the Internet? That's my rulin' |

He took a simple explanation of why I don't use Facebook and ballooned it up to "an embarrassed father with family problems". I am blessed to have 4 of the hardest working, well-rounded and polite kids I've ever met. I couldn't be prouder of the adults they've become and I couldn't be happier with the loving relationship I have with each of them. |

Will your grandchildren be named "Derby"? No, but I might have to change my handle to DerbyGramps, assuming they get into Soap Box Derby racing. :-) However, none of my kids are close to having children at this time (Hey Chris: I'm OK with that) and the minimum age to race is 8. The DerbyDad03 handle is safe for quite awhile. |
