It may be because FriendBurst is small and does not have the number of members that MySpace had, but FriendBurst is much more shallow than MySpace was during its heyday.<\/p>\n
On MySpace I belonged to several groups whose interests were the same as mine even thought the majority of members were politically opposite. It did not matter. We did not mix politics with other interests. On FriendBurst I have been removed from groups that I would like to contribute because my politics do not match that of the creator of the group. People have removed themselves from my non-political groups because they do not agree with my politics. This is sad. Why can’t we find these common interests and expand upon them?<\/p>\n
On MySpace blogs, adversaries met and argued all the time. We debated, cussed at each other and it was sometimes a rumble, but we did not block each other. Yes, there was a lot of flaming, a lot of hate, but we slugged it out without blocking.<\/p>\n
There are conservatives here on FriendBurst that are above that and I support you. I would name you but it would violate FriendBurst TOS, so I will have to give you a thumbs up when you comment on my blogs.<\/p>\n
I can disagree with you politically and still allow you to have a voice. I even thank you for your contributions.<\/p>\n
When FriendBurst reaches the point where dialogue not blocking is seen as the better solution, then we will have made it as a social networking site. Until then, we are just another attempt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
