I did the same, I deleted my face-book a/c and started a new one up for just my family and real life friends. I have had to change my entire name as well, so that absolutely nobody from jc can get hold of me or invade my privacy. (Or may I add, my friends’ privacy too!)
Personally, I think facebook is dangerous, however many privacy settings you set up!
Like I have said, it is nice to get piccies and news from the people who are close to you, and I meant no offence to anybody from jc when I deleted my account, I just had to.
