Writer's Block: Unfriended, Unspecified!

[uberreiniger]

[Error: unknown template qotd]
I tend to defriend people who fall at extremes. They're either people who never update their journals and never comment on mine, or they're the people who make five updates a day that are all two and a half pages long and they have like, 512 friends. The people in the latter category I find I rarely have much in common with and they're not going to miss me anyway.

Then there were two people I wound up unwittingly friending (separately,) who wound up being 9/11 conspiracy theorists and prone to violent rages if their precious delusions about explosive charges in the World Trade Center were ever challenged...

Someone has probably "de-friended" me, but I don't pay attention to that detail, so most of the time I wouldn't know unless it was a close friend.

I just don't see the point in following that stuff.

Oh, I've unfriended, LOADS of people in the 8 years I've been here. The instant off for me is if there are anger issues- be it passive aggressive, or direct in your face, I won't tolerate them.

I've unfriended people for being MIA who've come back and I've refriended as well.

There've been a bouquet of reasons- generally, I find it easier to unfriend and walk away- you give friends explanations, you give, random idiots no opening to get a last stab in.


Personally, my journal tends to run in the long winded, as I post to record my days for myself, and let people watch just for the hell of it- so I can ramble for PAGES on a good day, so if I ever hit that "oh god, I can't stand it any more, I don't CARE why she thinks Wombats want to rule the world" mark I completely understand, COMPLETELY.

eew. Yay for conspiracy theorists.

I would agree about the defriending mainly people at 2 extremes, either non-posters or too-many-posters. For sure...
