@manton @simonwoods The cross posting is a great feature, but choice is also a value along with selectivity of audience. I view the social network side of MB as an interesting but placid dinner party and as a proper dinner guest I don't want to bring up those dredded 3 topics I was taught to avoid (religion, politics and sex.) Because, I like and respect the MB community I'm a part of and don't want to be seen as trolling. Twitter is a different audience and I don't mind giving it a good straifing run now and then. OTOH, I'm a blogger and sometimes I want to get a bit ranty on the blog (and probably Twitter) but not on MB. So what I'd like is an off switch where for an individual post I can selectively turn off posting to MB (or Twitter) for just that post.

My original goal was to make my MB blog my common place book, but I want the blog to be that not necessarily the MB feed. The pressure I'm feeling is that I need to start a seperate blog for politics, current affairs when I really want to keep everything on one blog.

It's a lot of extra work, right now, to go down into the admin panel, disconnect MB and/or Twitter, make my post, then go back into the admin panel and reactivate my defaults.
