Whedon Month on Facebook.
Celebrate the worlds of Joss by changing your profile picture!
Last year, nearly 2000 people changed their profile picture to a character from one of the works of Joss. This year will be even better, with Cabin coming out and Avengers just around the corner.

If you were going to build the ideal social network that actually acknowledges the way people interact (and misbehave) over time, I'm thinking it wouldn't look much like Facebook.

During the recent changeover to the timeline profile style, it appears that a number of glitches occured. Don't ask me to explain the technical side of things, I haven't a clue when it comes to that kind of thing. What I do know is that private messages and comments that I had thought deleted long ago had suddenly appeared on my profile again. Now, personally I have nothing to hide and there was nothing there of any real significance, but the point is that I had believed them deleted and yet Facebook clearly had held on to the information. The private messages dated back to almost as early as when I had opened the account, so it wasn't just a recent thing. They were holding information that I had wanted removed a very long time ago. Again, nothing particularly important but that shouldn't matter.
Then there was the small matter of my privacy settings being altered when the timeline profile arrived, making a good deal of the information I only allow my friends to see suddenly public. My e-mail address had never seen so much random spam as it received in the weeks after the settings were altered without my permission.
Sorry for the anti-Facebook rant, I know this isn't really the place for it, but I do think that describing it as nothing more than a "website that lets people communicate with each other for free" is massively understating what Facebook has become, and what it does with the information you put in there. My account is deleted now but if I'd known just how much of an information trap the site was likely to become, I never would have joined. There are far safer and less intrusive ways to keep in touch with family and friends.

All I can suggest is that you try logging into this other person's account with your email address and when it asks if you have forgotten your password, request a reset be sent to you. When you get it, log in and remove your email address from the account yourself. Slightly questionable but this other person shouldn't have used your email anyway and Facebook hasn't offered you an alternative way of having it removed.

And as far as FB goes, I don't put much on it and I check my settings everyday. I've kept my friend base to actual people I know and hang out with. I've had no issues.
