Thanks for the welcome back!
I certainly do understand why you would want to leave FB - and Tina IS so incredibly sweet, I can't imagine anyone having an issue with her at all! I so GET why you are leaving. I can't completely leave, because oddly enough, for me there is a very good side to it. As you know, I'm involved in my local Dream Factory chapter and the power of social media allows us to reach more people and get them involved. We grant dreams for chronically/critically ill kids and I have grown close to several of our 'dream' families. I love to see what they are up to and stay involved with them. FB CAN be used for good, it's just too bad that the bad outweighs the good most of the time.
MAB - Have you considered using Twitter for music related social media (if you aren't already)? The upside to Twitter is that the 140 character limit is short - just blurbs from people, and that's about all I can handle! It's not bogged down with as much drama for some reason. Just a thought. You could even post links pointing back to our conversations here, driving more traffic to this forum.
