Dear friends and family,
Before I address the main point of this rant, let me say this…
…while I appreciate the invitations you send me, I’d rather not become a werewolf, zombie, pirate, vampire, food-thrower, garden-grower, dragon-tamer, people-seller, lover-rater, cancer-hater, fish-giver, etc…
In the past, I’ve rather politely “ignored” your invitations to join these prestigious ranks, but today I discovered a greasemonkey script which will automatically block any new application invitations (below). This ranks up there with the “auto-poker” script in the list of “ways to be less annoyed on Facebook”.

Now, for those of you who are wondering why I haven’t responded to the beautiful and sensitive messages you’ve posted me on my Super-Amazing-Awesome-Fun Wall, it’s because I don’t have said “SAAF” Wall, and I refuse to be “pressured” into installing it simply to read the message that you left for me.
You see, since you’ve installed this “SAAF” wall, you’re probably being “tricked” by the application into writing a note on my “SAAF” wall, even though it doesn’t exist yet. I have to install it in order to read your message!
My philosophy towards Facebook applications is that if I can see a use for the application, and I want to install it, I will. If I can’t, I’ll just ignore / block it, as above. In this case, I’m “extorted” into installing the “SAAF” wall application just to read the message you’re sent me.
So I won’t. And your message will never be read. I hope it wasn’t important :p
So if you really want to “put something on my wall”, kindly use the regular Facebook wall (which I also happen to think is pretty pointless), or (preferably) send me a regular message
