I'm not sure why people are so offended by what Facebook has done. They've just made the information people made publicly available already easy to parse for computers. Full disclosure: I had no way to prepare for Facebook's new features and I haven't change a single privacy settings since it launched. I just used this site to check what was publicly available for the first time and none of it was a surprise except my events and I don't feel invaded in any way. Feel free to browse around my profile.

what bothers me is not that people can see what I've rsvp'd to, but that they can see what I've been invited to, but ignored (unless i remove that event, which must be done manually for each event).

My friends invite me to a lot of events that I _never_ want to publicly be associated with, but unless I specifically remove this event, the whole world can see it.
