Steve,

I am sorry you are hurt.
Direct your opinions to the people who are kind.

Do you use the feature that lets you share with only certain friends?
For example when I see something interesting in my news feed I can
Share Link with the Custom option:
-Public
-Friends
-Friends except Acquaintances
-Only Me
-Custom

It is the same thing for the Update Status / What's on your mind.
Before I click on Post I choose from here:
-Public
-Friends
-Friends except Acquaintances
-Only Me
-Custom
