Dear Tempy:

What's up with all the douchebags on Facebook?

Well, Quizical, I have found that as a whole because of the good anti-spamming action there are a lot less d-bags on Fabebook than MySpace. If you're referring to the people whose only accomplishments in life are commenting on things inappropriately on walls and photos on Facebook, mooching off their acquaintances and and turning beer into urine, I cannot help you with that. In my opinion blocking was only invented for people's general safety and not as a way to exacerbate the fact that that person's weird behavior exists in the first place. What I'd do is just remind yourself that while said person may collect people on their page like Pokemon cards, they will never understand the definition of friendship.

If all else fails, there is an application you can join that allows you to send someone a "kick in the nuts", but I find a nice Superpoke in the eye works as well.
