If you are not a Facebook user, wait until after the Presidential election is over to become a member. That is if you are considering it. The social media site has turned into a soap box for vicious, political grandstanding.

One gal I know named Marcia is using her news feed as a whipping stick for every crappy thing that has ever happened to her. Her remarks about the current administration are so slanderous that I wonder where she plans to live if her team doesn’t make it.

Then there is Frank, the ultimate liberal, who keeps talking to Romney as if he is standing in the room with him. He reminds me of Robert De Niro from the movie “Taxi Driver.” “Are you talking to me, Mitt? Are you talking to me?”

Formerly “so-called” nice people have transformed themselves into hostile, hot heads, who will say anything that comes to mind, just to be heard. Everyone is out of control.

There is no limit to what folks will say and do on Facebook. The one that unnerved me the most recently was one from an executive from the Consumer Electronics Show. He placed a poster of the two leads from the TV series “Fantasy Island” on his page, but replaced the heads with Obama and Biden.

I thought it was totally inappropriate for an association person to take political sides. I publicly scolded him. He then sent me a private message. “Lois, I’ve always liked you, but if you have an issue with me, I would appreciate a one-on-one conversation. This is my personal page and has nothing to do with CES.”

All of a sudden I was the bad guy. I never answered him because I felt he was out of line and apparently he knew it. The poster was deleted.
