My comment does say something about me, but part of the problem is not just what I think, but what I predict my friends would think. I would not share something on Facebook if I expected it to offend 20-30% of my friends.

There are plenty of uses of the f-word that I find funny, witty, or appropriate, but this is simply not one of them. (NSFW humor: http://justin.justnet.com.au/rudestuff/uses-of-the-word-fuck...)



So, your point is that your decisions are driven by what your friends might think, rather than what _you_ think?


When it comes to sharing things with my friends en masse? Definitely.


Yes, since the entire point of sharing something with them would be that I think it's something they might enjoy.

It would be completely valid in this case to consider what they might think.


Interesting. My perspective is that I share things my friends and family might find useful, but potential for enjoyment is not a factor.
