Sara, you are being way too sensitive. I asked a simple question, no hostility, just curiosity. I was actually interested in sharing your post, but I wanted to make sure the photo came from a trusted source. The white guy in the photo could be anyone. I can't tell that is Bernie with any certainly by looking at the photo. I never wrote that you drew the circle. Again your hyper-sensitivity makes you see things that are simply not there. Most sites are fact not checked or vetted in anyway, they are just people, like you, sharing unattributed stuff they found. Of course you all may have positive intent, but because you don't check or cite sources you often spread things that are simply not true. The only link in you post was this one: http://pdafund.com/component/k2/item/70-25-things-you-may-not-know-about-bernie-sanders and the photo is not on that page. Sara think about it for a second; why one Earth would I have any hostility against you? You are not a threat. If I wanted, with a press of a button, I could delete everything you ever posted here. What you confuse with hostility is only an attempt to check a source, nothing more If you were not so sensitive, you'd probably observe that I treat everyone who posts here with love and respect. That does not mean that I will agree with everything they post, or that I will hold my tongue when I disagree. If you really want post where you will never be challenged, or exposed to perceived hostility, you would probably enjoy Facebook more. Facebook prides itself on helping members only see the things that conform their world view. and if Facebook ever slips up members can unfriend the offender-- a sensitive person's paradise.

“If you haven’t posted anything personal on Facebook in awhile, you’re not alone. A damning report published by The Information on Thursday revealed that Facebook has been struggling to reverse a 21% decline in “original sharing,” or personal updates, from its 1.6 billion monthly active users.”—Fortune.com This is on top of additional reports to that Facebook is further diminishing the reach of brands in users news feeds to ensure that used see more posts from friends and family. Maybe the pendulum is beginning to swing back toward the World Wide Web proper and away from "walled garden" corporate sites. This would of course be a great thing for the web, because people are starting to believe Facebook is the web; and don't consume any content outside of the platform.

I shared this post on my site which addresses your position. http://www.cbpublish.com/cbp-business-jaron-lanier-why-facebook-isnt-free-stop-giving-it-away/ Content will always be the way to build. However, once you peep this maybe this is where Facebook will actually head... then again probably not.
