Walling Etiquette 101

I am not a big fan of writing in the ‘bathroom wall,’ in High School but apparently to some, high school is not over yet. Senior Year, High School 2003, my best friend spotted a beautiful writing in the bathroom that so happens to be for me. The writing was so big that we thought the person who wrote it must have been skillful when it comes to graffiti. “Sabina, you’re a bitch!”

Oh well, that was the old days, it has been years and I forgot about the bathroom wall incident but with the high technology and fast moving trend in social networking sites, people are now using Facebook wall as a substitute to the classic bathroom wall.

I understand how frustrating it must have been for some people that stand by honesty and say things the way they are and just blurt it out without thinking twice, trust me, I totally get it but a long the line of this whole ‘say-what-I-feel,’ there’s such thing as an online etiquette.

1. Being bitchy and bold is respectful if it’s done face to face or at the very least privately, it shows that at the end of the day you still have respect for the person you’re sharing your very truthful opinion to.

2. Don’t wall a person that you met once through a mutual friend if you don’t know them. It doesn’t make you look cool, seriously.

3. High School is over and Facebook Wall is strictly for friends, your friends.

4. Asking your gay friends to Facebook diss’ for you is like asking them to fight the cat fight for you better yet it reminds us of the dramatic series, 90210.

5. Private message is where you can feel free to embarrass yourself.

Now that I’ve said it, I might as well add that the wall post and other comments on my Facebook doesn’t really affect me in fact, I appreciate that my actions intentional or not intentional has such a tremendous amount of affects for a few people to publicize their addiction to bathroom wall behavior.

Be gay, be a woman, be a man and realize that Facebook is a social networking site not a social dissin’ site unless of course you’re growing backwards and is still in High School.

    is this why you have chosen to bitch back on your blog? bitching is one thing, but contradicting yourself is worse even though your method would appeal to the simple mind as “coolER” and distribute a false impression that you have the upper hand. do you realize that you lost the minute an irrelevant factor found its way into your life? you are a smart girl but you have let emotions get the best of you here. this case being pride. When you read this initially, if you have been upset in any way then consider the point i have just made. If it didnt bother you the slightest bit, and you laugh at it. then you should agree that THIS is indeed the more sensible approach.
    a nobody is a nobody till you carve them into someone.

    i have spent five full minutes of my life trying to point something out to you so the least you can do is keep this to yoursellf. either way it is anonymous though names might start to pop in your head. but why let this nobody cause you to doubt anything. please do take it the right way.

    you should blog here – your comment is longer than my post! and oh … f.y.i what’s with the alias name X why X it anyway?

    for some reason this whole fake e-mail, no name mentioning thing, a long with the longest comment is contradicting what you wrote :)
