Getting Facebook "unfriended"

    Maybe you could discuss it with your priest over bible study.

    I got unfriended by the chick who always posted bikini pics.

    I'm still pissed.

    Wow, DW.

    Your reaction perplexes me, as I would chalk you up as someone who doesn't give much of a shit as to what others think of you.

    I guess the difference is anonymous folks you know here on sj, versus people you know in real life on FB.

    I will add one personal tidbit: I once had 400 FB friends, and I chopped it down to 20. Like mentioned above, it had nothing to do with actual real life friendships. I mostly didn't want the Feds trying to track me down through 400 people. Even 20 is too much.

    Think I will go live in a hut in Montana.

    That's why I never get into political or religious discussions on facebook. It's not worth it.

    That's what SJ.com is for.

    This can't be real. I refuse to believe it.

    I have considered it a mark of honor, especially if it is done by some schmoe I haven't seen or talked to in umpteen years.
    Facebook is good for reminding you why you left certain people in your rearview mirror in the first place.

    This thread does seem to be a bit of an overreaction. I do what you do. I unfollow people. Had to do that to one a close friend recently because the political and religious crap he posts just got to be too much.
