Yes, that's what I hate about facebook too. My different groups of friends have different interests and ways of looking on life; I wouldn't introduce them to each other in real life, so I don't like the way they all get mixed into one heap on Facebook.
More importantly - I haven't met most urglers. I'm not going to introduce them into my more intimate circle of facebook friends until I have met them, and know them well enough to know I can trust them.
If we moved to a forum, I'd prefer reactive moderation. The occasional nitwit will post, but can be picked up quickly and removed by a mod. Less work for the mod than reading everything, and gives more "ownership" (excuse mgt-speak) for the non-mod members of the group.
