There's a "thing" going around for public figures in the gun world who have a page on Facebook where they post both personal and professional information. They announce that they want anyone who wants to post to their page send them $100. It's supposed to be funny (at least I hope it is), but all it really does is show an arrogance akin to rock stars.
Easy response: unfollow and stop recommending their products, articles, whatever.

I’ve never had a FB account and have no desire to ever open one. If I want to keep in touch with someone I do so. If not then each of our lives goes on and I wish them the best.

Not going to Fb. Does sound like a set up.

This is my only social media, and social it is.

I don't do Facebook either but I think that maybe part joke part "I'm tired of people I don't know, never heard of, asking me to forward and pimp their cockamamie ideas, videos, products whatever for free", they hope someone elses hard earner reputation will give them credibility and followers as well. A gentleman I am friends with who is very serious about his social media image told me he has been inundated by people wanting him to hawk their crap of late. They offer to pay for doing so but not until you have spent a great deal of time and headache on some guy they dont know.
Just my guess

I really don't care what they think to be honest. Facebook just seems to draw a whole lot of hysterically emotional half-wits.

Think you're hiding something I guess. I limit my use but throw some things up. Can't win.... No gun stuff and very little hunting.... "they" are trying to pass a red flag law in NM right now...like today. Nobody else needs to know...

Speaking of anti hunters, I was organizing some of my education material today and in the back of one drawer I found a file with some of my Hunter Ed materials I kept in it. There was the ethics lesson, my range master certificate and at the very back I found a rebuttal article I wrote 10+ years ago in response to an anti hunting article the state largest newspaper had printed. I had sent the rebuttal in and didn't think a thing about it until I got a call from the outdoor editor asking me some questions and for references as to where I got some of my dollar numbers that sportsmen provide to wildlife conservation. They actually published the rebuttal out of the many responses they received and dog gone if they didn't even send me a check for $200! My partner in the hunter ed class was miffed simply because he had done the outdoor section for our little local rag for years and all he got was an attaboy for all the writing!
