Delete your account already. No one here can act like they didn't know what FB is like.

How about "no facebook, period"?

What about just not using Facebook...

Still use all those things to your heart's content; just don't create a Facebook account...

Not using Facebook might be the right choice.

Don't have to subject anyone to it. Don't have Facebook.

One more reason to stop using facebook.

Have you considered not using fb anymore? Try the delete account feature - they give you a few weeks before it's actually deleted. I found that I didn't actually miss it.

Facebook already locked me out of my account asking for it and since I'll never send it I guess I can finally stop using it... thanks facebook
