last night i discovered i had been added to a Facebook group without my
permission.=3D20
Yes, it is a new feature on Facebook.
Elizabeth Priddy created a group called Claybroads and 'added' me to it,
without even asking me about it. It's a nice idea for a group,EP, but it =
=3D
is
incredibly presumptuous to add people without their permission. on the fi=
=3D
rst
page of your Claybroads, you talk about how pissed off you are at the
CLAYART list.Well, I am pissed off about this.

Worse, I cannot figure out how to remove my name. My name continues to sh=
=3D
ow
up on your page and it continues to show up on mine.=3D20

A 'salon' for women to talk about clay is a good idea, for voluntary
participants.=3D20
but when i am shoved in a door instead of invited or allowed to CHOOSE to=
=3D

join on my own , no thanks.
Sorry if i am 'outing' this group. i favor women talking about clay and
people talking about clay, but given the origins and methods here, please=
=3D

remove me from your group.

Claybroads? GOOD GRIEF! I am astonished that someone as sensitive to
nuances in slights to women, would choose a name like that! I've always
felt "broads" to be a very belittling and denigrating term. I wouldn't
belong to a group called something with "broads" in the name...even if it's
an "in-your-face" attempt at humor, no way.
