For quite a while now I have been on Facebook. Several years actually. Some time after started using the forums here. By the time most of you's got better aquainted with me. I had two Facebook friends fromthis board.You may know them as Small Blue Thing, Mike Gloady, and some years after that there was another one from this board. Nap Normal. Some time afte that, I added my older brother. Bringing it up to four people.

It was on one occasion. Last year that Small Blue Thing thought my friends list was on entirely on the sparse side and he let me know that it needed beefing up. He said the people on this board would be happy to help out in that regard.

Though first, I thought I would start locally. So early yesterday morning,  I Googled a old school friend on the internet. A friend that I had been out of touch since the late 90's and I found him on a web-site. I emailed him letting him know I was on Facebook. Telling him, to send a friend request to my name on Facebook. He did as I requested and I confirmned it. Then I sent out a friend request to a cousin that I was close friends with. A person who I still see at family gatherings. He confirmed my request and pretty soon I was surfing through his friend's list for other school friends I had lost touch with. I sent the small circle of friends I had requests as well. Then I did the same with the rest of my relatives who were on Facebook.

Thinking to myself, why didn't I do this years earlier.
   
Pretty soon, I had twenty three people added as friends to my Facebook page. With more requests still pending. About a two hours ago. I started sending requests to people whom I believe are on this forum. It's either when I find a familer name. I see on either Small Blue Thing's, Mike Gloady's and  Nap Normal's friends list. I have sent that person a friend request and/or it could be a well known comic book artist or writer like Carlos Esquerra, John Wagner, Dave Gibbons, Alan Moore, Al EwingPat Mills, Henry Flint, Mike McMahon, Glenn Fabry, Mike Collins, David Pugh, Greg Staples, Clint Lanely, Boo CookSimon Davis, Liam Sharp. Among others.

So, if you are on Facebook and you get a friend request from a Michael Patrick Hartwell. That's me. Feel free to either confirm, refuse, or ignore it. I won't be offended either way. Though, I will hope to add you all very soon.

Hey there, just in case you didn't know. I've been really into Facebook lately, (For the past month almost.) and it really blew my mind. Almost literally.

Anyway, I just wanted to know is considered a social faux-pas to tag people you know in photos you have taken of them?

Is it considered  a rude invasion of their privacy?

i never realy tag people, but i am Adam Green Ba hons, on Fb, if any one wishes to add me, they are more than welcome, would love to make conections with other artist and forum members, all i ask is if you send a request just put 2000ad forum member in your request.it would be great. i usally find fb boring but it has this gravitational pull lol already have added a couple of members from the forum and i think its a great way to form links with other like minded indiduals.

I've signed up 2 or 3 times in the name of "John Smith" purely to see a particular person's photos (I tell them to accept my friend request and that I'll never be using it again) but I have zero interest in signing up as myself.

I've had my regular Facebook account disabled for reason I'm not going to divulge.

I would like to reconnect with the same people and more on my new account which I have kept in reserve for quite while now.

I made it strictly for my family only, but what the hell, I'll open to everybody.

Just find my real name under Michael PT Hartwell as opposed to Michael Patrick Hartwell which is now disabled.

I can't seem to find SBT and Pat Mills appears to have refused my request  :(

It's not like it make sense for me to apologised to the many people I offended, because I knew what I doing and did so because I felt good about it.

My obnoxiousness is only bound by the boundaries imposed by the rules of Facebook!

BTW, Pat Mills has now accepted my request and I'm relieved I don't need to send back all my Slaine comics/novels.

Don't really know what to say about this. You have frequently complained about being excluded from various online communities: Elite, Steam?, that Werewolf rpg. I had always sort of assumed that you weren't fully aware of (or wilfully ignored) the way in which your behaviour affects and is perceived by others. I thought that what you really needed was to think about the common element in all of these incidents: yourself and your behaviour.

Yet here you are, seemingly completely aware of the effects of your actions but still whinging about the consequences. Recently you have made numerous posts about your lack of contact with other people. This is something which would make anyone unhappy and it's not something I like to hear about anyone. Given the above, it seems you are either unwilling or unable to modify your behaviour in any way which would help to change this. I am aware that this is easier said than done but, until you try, then this whole cycle is just going to continue.
We never really die.

Now look, I just I'm not going to divulge I was banned....I wasn't complaining about anything. Except to say I had reserve account and was just inviting people over here to friend me on it.

There was no need to remind me that I had gone through some inappropiate changes in my behavior on the internet. Actually I think they are signs of personal growth.

As for the people on some of those other forums.

I would swear they have a double standard pocy for their own bevoir and a separate one for mine.

Espeically the ones on that now defunct werewolf forum game one.

I'll take a wild stab at it, though.  Is it anything to do with the porn images that you regularly posted on your FB feed, and that you seemed cluelessly mystified about why FB kept on removing them?

It's a joke. I was joking.

I knew what I was doing was wrong, but I see that they only really ban or punish the little people like myself and not so called important people who continuously reoffend.

Which I won't doing really offensive on my reserve account I'm using now.
