I am honored when my teachers add me, and amused and flattered if my students initiate contact as well. One semester I compared a character in Neuromancer to Paris Hilton, and someone asked, "You know who Paris Hilton is?" I said, "I live in the same world you do, it's not like I go home and crawl into an encyclopedia and fall asleep."

I've never heard a story like that before. Writing 'LOL' on a piece of academic work....I must assume he's not an linguist lecturer :D That is bizarre! I’ve never heard a story like that before.

It's not a insult, and you can control what they see. Neither professor nor my boss has ever held anything on Facebook against me, but there is a professor who has personally admitted to using Facebook to find out why students missed class. Needless to say I will never friend this man (not a big fan of him in real life either.) It depends on your repertoire with the person, I mean, I've never actually contacted my professors through Facebook. They're just kind of...there.
