Facebook keeps suggesting that I add Michael D. Griffin as a friend.

Aren’t you curious that if you do friend him if he would friend you back?
The Griffin FB page isn’t his personal page, just a FB generated Wikipedia clone of some sort. Or so it seems to me. FB generates friend or “like” suggestions based on assumed mutual interests.
Kinda creepy actually.
**snort!**

Thanks for posting this — I was going to ask you privately if you were getting these, and if so what you planned to do about it (the latter in jest). I keep getting the same one, and in both cases it’s because we are friends with a lot of people who would know (or may even be friends with) Griffin.

Not really. Anyway, unlike many people, I never request that someone be my FB who I don’t know personally (though actually, I do know Mike from years back, though we’ve had no direct interaction in many years), at least not without providing an explanation of who I am and why I want to be their FB friend. I’m not sure how I’d do that with Mike, because I don’t really have any interest in being his FB friend.
One day in the future, Mike Griffin will walk into a saloon. Rand will be sitting at the bar.
Outside, a tumbleweed rolls by…
Boy, that is turning into a quite handy little piece of imagery!
Et tu Barbara? I had an attempted post here blocked the other day by a robo-censor that had decided my would-be post looked “spammy.” It even added a bit of auto-snark to the effect that “we’re not big on spam around here.”
I don’t know how long it will be before we achieve genuine artificial intelligence, but the blog platform builders have already got artificial stupidity pretty well knocked.
Yes, but is it as good as actual stupidity? That’s what they’re shootin’ for.
I wonder if Mike Griffin is getting similar suggestions…
couple of months ago Griffin mentioned that he never reads anything written about him, even if people request he do so, which they do a lot. He considers it the height of narcissism. I consider it just good sense.
Go ahead and friend him, then you can “like” every blog article that trashes Griffin so he gets an email about each one…
