Thanks guys...

I turn down friend requests a lot. Mostly from people from high school days who I have no desire to talk to anymore.

Yeah. I've unfriended people lately who I don't have regular contact with. I might continue that trend shortly. Frankly, I don't care about what's happening with some guy I barely talked to in high school, or some co-worker from two jobs ago...

I think there are MANY people out there who pride themselves on how many Facebook "friends" they have. I'm certainly not one of them!

Well, that's just weird, right? People are funny. So far, 95% of the friends on my list are really my friends. Couple of high school people there that I barely know anymore just on a whim but really?

I wonder how many of your VJ FB friends are feeling kind of insecure right now. LOL

Yea on saturday I got a friend request from someone I did not know, and I let him add me, waited two days, asked him who he was, he never responded so I deleted him. If I don't know who they are, I don't add them.

I have deleted people too usually based on status updates.

The last guy I deleted was a guy I used to know in Barrie and he had his status updates as: "Ugh some guy on the bus just blew me a kiss, I hate f*gs" and I deleted that hick right away!

Oh and I deleted my own uncle for cheering on the yankees during the world series, but we've since become friends again.

I deleted my sister once before. And I was serious about it, too. I was pissed off at all her snide comments on my wall.

I later re-added her, but only to see my "limited profile".

Yep I've deleted people like that too.

You know what I hate? The people who will come on to my profile and get into it with my friends. I think thats just ignorant.

I would never go on someone else's wall and fight with their friends/family. I have had to message people, delete them and play referee but I don't think they realize how rude it is.

Oh PS...

MY 20 year old Nephew's girlfriend sent me a friend request yesterday... I have never met this girl, she's 20, I have no desire to have idle chitchats with people I don't know so...

I declined it. Is that rude? Am I going to internet etiquette hell?

I got a FB friend request from a guy I never met, but apparently we had like 10 mutual friends, so I accepted. Got access to his page, some christian fanatic with over 3500 FB friends. Obviously, this guy is collecting them for points or something, so I unfriended him a few weeks later.

Igg, you know what I do with people who are acquaintances? I create a list of them and put restrictions on this group (i.e. limited access to my profile, pics, etc) and when I update my status (I rarely do BTW), I exclude this group.

So why do I keep this people around?--ever bump into them in a party or on the street? Yeah...it's nice to have a FB database on them so you can remember their names and what they do (for work or interest) during these idle chats, LOL.

I can SO related--deleted a sister too because of her personal issues with me and my marriage. I've yet to add her and have no desire to.

Hmmm, that's a VERY good idea, Reven...

Smart and thanks for sharing...

That and I wasn't putting up with his "sermon on the mount" FB status updates!

My future BIL is going on 600 fb friends but has no one to go have a beer with.

Its sad really.
