You know what really confuses me about Facebook? Adding someone as a friend, but then completely locking them out of everything but what they can see on a non-friend's profile. I will make the distinction here that I understand maybe adding someone and filtering them out of certain personal photos, filtering business contacts out of the photos of ( Read more... )

I had this odd bird guy I went to high school with who friended me on FB but then he turned out to be a real wack job... he was needy, always wanting to talk about nothing and he was a very very conservative thinking person... so I tried to be nice and tell him we should not be friends, but he would not take no for an answer... I eventually did the filter thing on him so he couldn't even see my posts or picitures, but he was still "my friend". I eventually just got rid of him... I'm still waiting to find a dead cat in my mailbox or something!

Oh my- I was thinking of you when we were in Toronto! We wnet to the Hockey Hall of fame... you would have been in heaven!! Lots of Pens related stuff and hey... I even did some hockey commentary on a Penguins goal!

Oh, that's awesome! I saw your set when I was skimming my contacts, but I haven't had time to catch up on Flickr this week. Maybe I should do that now before I go to bed. :)

i've never understood putting people on limited profile either. lots of my friends say, "oh i accepted so and so but i put them on limited profile." i always ask what the point is. if i don't want to be friends with someone i won't accept the request. or i will accept it and then delete them shortly after. haha! several of my friends also don't understand the concept of removing friends from facebook. a friend of mine has over 900 friends on facebook but she has zero contact with 95% of them. they're just randoms that she had one class with in college and they friended each other then. i see nothing wrong with doing a little "sprucing up" on the friends list and trimming the fat but apparently i'm the minority?

Yeah, I will admit to just accepting people and then hiding them from my feed if I don't care... Does that make me just as bad as what I'm complaining about? But I never block THEM from seeing anything, so I don't think they know they're being ignored. It goes back to my same thing - if I don't want people to see whatever I'm about to post, I'd rather just not post it at all than filter it.

Yeah, I don't know if it's an etiquette thing as oppposed to just a personal thing. I know we've mentioned this before but I just don't understand people who add you but make zero effort to "communicate" with you.

Someone from my past added me, it was nice to hear from her. So I accepted her request and asked her what she was up to, etc...I got no response. Really annoying, because I *would* like to know how my old friends are doing through something besides written-for-an-audience status updates.

Sure, you can add me. I'm not sure I know your last name, but I'm on there under Lizzie Veri.

My boss at that porn-deleting job I had for a while there added me on FB but never posted anything OR SO I THOUGHT because then she referenced something she'd posted on FB in her Twitter feed but I couldn't see it so I realized that i'd been blocked.

Bitch.

So I just unfriended her. No loss.
