I sometimes advise my clients to make an invisible sign that has:
- an invisible smiley face on one side, and,
- the words “%$#@ Off Nicely” written invisibly on the other side.
I suggest that they show the invisible smiley face to the outside world, then figure out some nice words to tell other people to go away, and if they won’t go away, ban them.
In case that’s a little bit weird: find a nice way to tell other people to go away, do it with a smile, and if that doesn’t work, ban them. You owe them nothing.
And, most importantly: you do get something out of Facebook etc - the pleasure of sharing, and maybe some money, and maybe some entertainment.
That’s good!
Use them selfishly, for your benefit.
