I still see no reason to be mad. Notifications can be turned off. Just ignore the friend requests. The whole planet is filled with stupid people and 98% of them have Facebook. It's really unavoidable on Facebook, let alone the BansheeHQ page. Part of the reason Zilla is no longer in the group is for that very reason. I see no sense in acting like a dick to someone new to Banshees and asking simple questions, especially if they're 13 years old.
I know to some of you, or all of you, this whole BansheeHQ thing means nothing, but to me it's important. I'd rather gain members and riders than lose them. I'm sure my sponsors, or some of them anyway, probably agree.
