So, I completely understand your pet peeves. Another problem I ran into is when one of my brother's childhood friends added me...I was ok with it until he started making snide remarks about my causes (refugees, child brides, various humantarian stuff). Then I figured out that none of my "friends" should make me angry and want to avoid them on fb...so I unfriended him (my only thus far). And, oddly enough, my brother ignored his friend request--apparently old deeds do indeed come back to haunt folks.

I wonder why they want to be my friend especially when the weren't in real life, in fact they picked on me in school and tried to make my life miserable. Sometimes my curiosity gets the better of me and I accept to see what they have been up to. I have had purging episodes where I delete people who I don't talk to. Especially on Myspace, on FB I have kept my friends down to a small number. I feel the same way.

I have to admit that I have become quite the un-friender these days. Facebook has taken the meaning on the word to places it was never meant to be & I have just recently started trying to regain it's real meaning - at least with people that fit the descriptions you gave. Happy un-friending. I KNOW YOU CAN DO IT! Yes, I was yelling'but not because I'm mad :) Girl. I have to admit that I have become quite the un-friender these days.
