I completely agree, maybe they could make a system instead of using facebook, using curse or these forums, and adding an album page on your profile, so it would download there.
For the record, I don't use Facebook because I like my career and I don't want possible employers seeing what I do in my free time, or what my friends do. And I also find its intrusion of privacy borderline offensive. We're not all 17 kid
This is the whole reason I don't use fb...

I actually agree with this. I'm personally not a fan of Facebook at all. I don't like how they handle privacy nor the practice of some employers to check up on what I do in my off hours. I actually wish that Facebook would go under and strongly believe in 5 years time we'll all look at it in the same way we do MySpace and AOL.
That being said, I still use it. I just do so on my own terms. My real FB account doesn't even have my real name and I have the privacy settings up full. If someone wants to add me, I have to speak to them in person to do it (so no old high school randoms adding me). I also created a gaming one I use with Xbox so I can get screenshots. It's not an ideal situation (as I don't like using FB) however it's one I can live with.
At the end of the day I have a choice, create a fake account for screenshots, or don't use screenshots. Each of us has to make the right decision for ourselves. For me, it's creating a fake account. For you, it's not using FB at all. That's fair because we're both adults and have gone over the pros and cons of each choice and decided what to do knowing full well the cons we'll have to live with (that sounds more dramatic than it's meant to). There is no right answer, only what is right for us (individually).
However you shouldn't be upset that others gave their opinion on the matter. You shouldn't be surprised either. It's a public forum and people are going to respond with their own feelings. That's another example of accepting any "cons" from posting anything to begin with (in this case the "con" being that not everyone will agree with you).
