    <p>I had the same policy..but then I found out one of the worst perpetrators on my feed had been running a depression support group a key part of which was lifting peoples spirits etc and old wolfey's does that apparently, so anyway I've had to adjust my policy and re-follow my friend as that's pretty admirable.</p>

    <p>Problem with David Wolfe is that he seems to use a lot of the inspirational posts as a gateway to getting people into his page/newsfeed to drag them deeper into the alternative therapies woo....</p>

    <p>Thats good of your mate to do that but I'm sure he'd be better off sharing some of JKs wisdom about beating the black dog than someone called David Avacado Wolfe .</p>

    And I can admire that. But using a massive D-bag to achieve that dilutes the message somewhat

    <p>Its the complete misunderstanding of what "Genetically Modified Organism" means that gets me. Its not like some evil scientist in a lab is injecting them with BabyKill(TM) or some other mystically harmful substance.</p>

    <p>I'm currently using it to see if i can find my fantasy "i really wish i'd pulled you at uni" girl. I have a maybe. And if it is, it's a let down, and a lesson that memories are always 100% better than reality.</p>

    I saw the girl I felt like that about at college at a gas station a couple of years ago. She recognised me first , took me a while to figure out who she was. The years had not been kind, she asked me if I was on Facebook , fortunately I was able to avoid an awkward friend request.<br><br>
    Also she lives in Levin by choice now.
