I do not know about others, but I have some Facebook friends who are very vociferous about their views. It make me really uncomfortable to see their posts - like viewing Flame Wars. It has gotten so bad recently, that I considered blocking the friends. However, I do consider these long-time friends, truly to be friends because I went to grammar school and high school with them. I simply do not share their views on certain topics. This morning, I discovered an add-in for the Firefox web browser that allows us to block Facebook posts, F.B. Purity. The article that explains the add-in is in MacWorld at

When I first looked at Facebook, I could not see the Add-in. It was under the "What's on your mind" entry box. Once, I realized where it was located, I click on it and entered the terms (one on each line) for the Facebook posts that I chose to block.
