    I'm Not Accepting Your Connection Invitation

    I "unfriended" someone on my FaceBook page. He was bragging about getting away with a felony. I work for a bank. The last thing I need is a friend bragging about being a criminal while I'm working on servers that contain sensitive bank customer data.

    I finally decided to join LinkedIn recently. Guess who asked for a connection. I just ignored it. Sorry, buddy, but I have a reputation to defend.

    I saw a story on the news just this morning, regarding something we probably all know by now; be careful what you put out there on Social Media, because one never knows when a current, or prospective employer, landlord, whatever, might view our pages, and make judgement calls based on what he/she is seeing, whether it be drunk and naked party pics, offensive comments, whatever.

    One point they made that I don't recall hearing before, is being linked the pages of our Social Media "Friends"----specifically those that we don't know in person, or even communicate with, but we accepted their Friend Request because of a common friend, or interest, or whatever, and this "friend" posts their own socially unacceptable stuff, and the judgement will be based on that, no matter how squeaky-clean our own page is otherwise.

      This is one big, big reason why the only social media site I am on is Twitter. And I am VERY careful who I "follow". In fact, right now I think I'm following 13 people, and I have 8 "followers".

      I'm not on Pinterest, FaceBook, or any other major Social Media site you could name, other than Twitter.

      I was even reluctant to start my own blog. Not that anyone could really find it...

        I personally know every person on my Facebook Friend list, if I've worked with them previously, they ARE family members that I know of said co-workers, are my family, or I've known them since we were in middle school. Even THEN I don't post something I KNOW will get back to one of my jobs or my family that I really don't want to get back to them, considering that 90% of the list is either current or former co-workers.
        Eh, one day I'll have something useful here. Until then, have a cookie or two.

          I seem to have my FB privacy levels so high that even if you know my name, you can't find me. Not sure how that happened but it's fine by me.

          And you really have to wonder about someone who's done something that stupid (committed a felony and bragged about it to the world on a social website) and then goes around asking everybody and their brother to "friend" him ...

            That is dumb, but he bragged that he committed a felony and was found not guilty. No matter how much he brags about that, he can't be tried again for that crime since we both live in the United States. It's still stupid, though.

              He's at it again. This time, he invited me to join Twitter and Dropbox. I'm still ignoring him since I still have a reputation to protect.

                Yes, because if not now then somewhere down the road, when he's whining about why people can't forgive and forget, and why can't he get a decent job, and why this and why that ... perhaps it'll dawn on him that he was damn stupid not to STFU about it.

                  Isn't there some way to anonymously report him or something, did he give you details?
                  ......../\
                  ....../__\
                  ..../\...../\

                    Actually, right now, he's easy to ignore. Reporting him would be too much trouble, but I will keep that in mind.

                      Besides which, sadly, reporting him would do very little good. The double jeopardy thing kicks in. However, something to keep in mind .. just because you can not be tried for the same crime .. there is perjury, obstruction of justice, and I am sure some other things he COULD be gotten on.

                        He didn't give any details. He said that he was tried for a felony and was acquitted.

                        For all I know, he could have been lying about the whole thing. It's still not a good idea to friend him, though.

                          If he's annoying you, make him hurt for it. They can surely find SOMETHING to go after him for, no?
