>You can't just ignore the fact that social networking has become the new town square because its inconvenient

That's not a good analogy. Facebook is most used as a semi-private space (akin to an open-house), or as just private (private party with friends). No one moderates that; you don't want to listen to it, you don't join the party (aka follow the person/page).

In a town square, if you scream profanities, harass people, etc, they have to listen because it's the only town square.
