I’m getting quite a response to my Open Letter to Mark Zuckerberg post. I’d say it’s running about even between those who agree and those who disagree with me.
There are some good points that disagree with me. I liked Atyagi’s comment, “Facebook belongs to Mark as much as Apple belongs to Steve.” I would also note that Steve got kicked out of the company he co-founded, before growing enough to create and lead today’s Apple.
There are however, several people who have left comments that have no greater value than to say I suck. This may or may not be true, but if you feel that way, you should not bother to come to this blog.
Since 2006, I have had a “Living Room Policy.” I have posted it sveral times. It goes like this:
If you visit my blog, you will be treated as a guest in my home and I expect you to behave as I would a guest. If you come in to my house, it is polite and appreciated if you use your real name.Second, and much more important, you need to treat me and my other guests with courtesy. You may passionately disagree with what is said, but do not get personal or insulting. Do not spew hatred.Attack issues not people.
I have taken down a few comments that were posted on the Zuckerberg Letter post. I will shortly take down a couple more. I encourage companies and people to do the same when their posts are marred by people whose real purpose is more to throw paint bombs then add to the conversation.
To the rest of you, thanks for some great comments. I hope that the folks at Facebook are listening to what is being said both pro-and-con.
