We do have a mutual friend. So, customizable "friends only" means nothing? Ugh...
I'm not a paranoid person or anything, but I am a freaking open book. With the erroneously presumed safety of "friends only" I share more than I otherwise would.
It's a weird thing for him to have posted, right? Here it wouldn't be so odd, but publicly and uninvited on FB is weird to me.
Last night I posted a sentimental, reminiscing post about a fond band camp memory (yes...band camp). I tagged a bunch of high school friends and have really enjoyed the conversations with them. Then, this morning, someone I do not know, posted on the thread twice. One post: "you're an amazing woman."
1. I do not know him and he's, according to his info, 10 years older than me. He's not a HS acquaintance I've forgotten.
2. My page is as private as I know how to make it. It's set to friends only for all posts and many of my posts are customized to exclude coworkers, etc.
How was this random guy able to pop on there? It's disturbing me a bit more than the random PMs on Lit. I am easily found, unusual name and such.
Feeling a bit squicked.
Well, given what a PITA Facebook can be, it's possible that you did understand the settings until they made one of their many changes. FB loves to fix what isn't broken.I just thought I understood the privacy settings, which I did not.

j, the simple truth is it's in FB's interests to screw your privacy settings. the more exposure every update gets, the more people can interact with, and the more people can interact with the more time they spend on the site...
...where they can then view yet more ads.
perhaps it would be better to share that stuff via email next time?
