Facebook 'Divorce' Dilemma

Have you ever had a friend on there, whom you know or knew in the past, and they just went one way and you went another and you sort of want to get rid because you have to sit on your hands to avoid making p*ss take comments?   

(NO, it's no one on here)

Anyhow, if you knew this friend was going to go off on holiday in a few days, would you feel guilty about pulling the trigger and deleting them whilst they were gone?

Nope!  I'd just do it!

Just do it.
If they have a lot of FB friends, they probably wont even notice.

She doesn't have a whole hell of a lot, but she probably won't notice. 

I think I'll just get rid now because on Friday we'll be on a PAYG dongle I don't want to be wasting time having her weirdo stuff come up on my page.

I feel bad about not accepting friend requests from people.  So I usually accept all the friend request I get.  Partially because people have changed so much that sometimes I think I don't know the person, then realize they were my best friend in 6th grade who moved to the other side of the country.  I'll give the person a week or so.  If they don't make an effort to contact me and catch up, then I will delete them.  Most people don't notice, although I have had a 3 different people 're-friend' request me with a message like "Hey it looks like facebook is acting up again because you're not on my friend list anymore for some reason."  Oops!  I guess it all just depends on how private you want your page to be.  With me moving to the UK and using facebook as a way of keeping in contact with my family, I know I will have a lot of intimate details on my page...that's why I like to keep it to close friends, not just every person I've ever met in my entire life.  That way you can say whatever you want to and you don't have to worry (too much anyway) about offending someone or having someone make a smarta$$ comment.  

It's not so much the privacy thing.  It's that she's started to go seriously freaky, IMO, and I can't hang, IYKWIM. 

Anyhow, she's off in a puff of cyber smoke now, at any rate.

I have someone like that on my friends list but I just took him out of my news feed so he doesn't show up on my wall anymore unless he specifically makes a comment on something that I did. That way I didn't have to 'unfriend' him but it takes away his crap and if I really want to see what he's up to then I can go to his page.

You can just hide a person's posts.  I do that with all my Mafia Wars "friends" who aren't friends with me otherwise.  I could just delete them after we join each others' crews, but I would much rather be able to use them for other games as well.

I have few lists with varying degrees of privacy settings.  Game people I have on the tightest privacy.  They see a few things of my profile, my friends, but not my photos, feed, etc.  I have one for HS and Uni friends I haven't kept in touch with/don't want to get back into touch with or wasn't that close with to begin with.  I have my normal list, then I have my "closer friends and family" with contact details and so on.

If anyone gets too spammy, they get hidden unless they are my sister.  

I agree with Legs. Hiding people is the best! They don't get offended at being de-friended, but I still don't have to read their drivel!

How do I hide her?

 

How do I hide her?

Go to your wall and hover the cursor just to the right of her posts and click and you have the option to hide.

If you look at the last thing she posted and hover your mouse over to the right but level with her name, you should get a 'Hide' drop-down box!

(Weby was too quick!)

I had to hide one of my dearest friends in the world.  She is an animal rights activist and she does a lot of rescue work for hurt/abandoned animals.  I love her to death but she would post 50-100 links a day on 'adopt this dog', 'sign this petition for animal rights', etc.  I could never keep up with the other feeds of people I actually wanted to see because she was clogging up my page.

THANKS!  I'm just afraid one night I'm going to have too much wine at dinner and write something sarcastic.    I nearly did today and that just just a killer coffee/IrnBru combination.
