Bad Facebook Boss Episode
The commenters in the thread on BritishExPats seem to think the problem is that this hapless whiner added her boss on Facebook before venting about him.
They are wrong.
The problem is: she vented in public, using her real name. If you do this, whether on a Facebook page or in a restaurant, assume that, sooner or later, it will get back to your boss. This is why you need a “Skippy the Klingon” pseudonymous account that’s not associated with your actual, legal name; so you don’t get Dooced.
Because venting is right and natural and good and I think it was Tolstoy who said that one thought-murder a day prevents us all from becoming ACTUAL murderers. You have a need to vent. You have a right to vent. But for god’s sake, when you vent, do not use a public area of the world’s most powerful communication device to do so, including To and From identification.
Because if you do, you’re just too stupid to be employable.

This does NOT seem to be part of the 4chan hacking; seems to be bona fide stupidity.

This is why I don’t use facebook. I set it up with my real name, and having been bored with FB and not visited for ages, couldn’t be bothered to set up a fake name account.

I did set it up with “raincoaster ofvancouver” and they deleted it. Didn’t even give me the option to set it to a Page, just deleted it. Zuckboy is evil.

I’ve written a bunch about stuff like this, but sometimes people just overreact. I think I… damn real people talking to me.
Anyway sometimes you just have to say shit because it needs saying and people need to realize what they are doing is wrong.

Yes, you sometimes have to say shit: this comes from somebody who got Dooced recently. But you do have to realize that other people might freak out about it, even if it’s justified. The difference between gonzo and myrmidon is whether you let that stop you from saying it.
