This is how I am seeing your hatred towards Facebook because you have issues with it. I view it as those who trying to cope with it but have difficult in the process. I am going to said that change is good while those who believe it is not good at all. I am not leaving Facebook because I get to meet new people who I met eventually outside of cyberspace. In the end, a new experience is worth trying and if you like it then stay with it.
There's nothing wrong specifically with socializing with people via the web, whether it be Facebook, WP, etc.. Facebook has a benefit in that it greatly facilitates interacting with new people that you probably wouldn't otherwise meet. Along with new people can come new ideas and new activities, all of which you can learn from, and grow.
However, I don't think it is a good idea to be able to stay in contact with friends 24/7, as is possible with an online social networking site like Facebook. When people are always around and available, one (and especially Aspies) has a tendency to take them for granted. One doesn't fully appreciate the value and importance of friends until they're gone and inaccessible. One won't really understand his own strengths and weaknesses until he must stand alone. This is the primary reason I do not maintain online social networking accounts.
