Poll: I'll unfriend you on FB if...

[lookingup]

This is a good thread! I've recently unfriended several people because of stupid things they post. A guy yesterday posted something about "All you women need to get laid more or just smoke a whole lotta weed, (blah blah blah can't remember) y'all are so angry trying to fight everybody."

Another person I unfriended when he posted something like, "Rihanna- Chris Brown beat her, Eminem lies to her, and Fred Durst (I think?) can't remember her name. What is wrong with this woman?!" It definitely rubbed me the wrong way.

Then I unfriended a woman who was constantly posting conservative Republican comics. That's fine, whatever. She is also very anti-choice. The straw that broke the camel's back was when she posted a comic of a man sitting on the toilet wiping his ass with pages of the Koran. I mean really?

Haha good poll. I don't usually unfriend people but I do hide/block some people's posts for various reasons. Usually it's because I get sick of hearing from them.

I did unfriend one guy when all his posts would be about him falling in love with a girl (over the top lovey posts) and then his dramatic fights/breakups with her. Literally, there were 10 different girls in just a few months time. It would just be one extreme to another and so many posts! He noticed right away when I defriended him, I got a friend request the next day...

I did almost defriended a guy for anti-gay remarks but decided instead to use the opportunity to educate him and open his eyes.

I would instantly defriend anyone who uses the culturally insensitive/loaded term "ebonics"

Posting about what is in your childs diaper.

See, I refuse to be "that" mom who posts about my child's potty training on FB. That's why FF got a text with a picture of a turd in the Elmo potty this morning. And the best part? He was super excited about it. Seriously!

(It was DS' first time going #2 on the potty...we've been trying for over a month).

I don't unfriend people...just block their posts from my newsfeed. The only people I've unfriended are anyone related to/mutual friend of XH, or people who I hadn't "talked" to since I friend them on FB (1+ years)

I have a good friend that I hid from my wall. Her writing and grammar was atrocious!

However, I have defriended people who can not properly spell and articulate. I hadn't spoken to them in a while. Also, people who are hypocrites. I love everyone, however, because you don't agree with me you are a bitch!

[Deleted]

People I have unfriended: exH's friends that I know I will never ever talk to, friendships that are over and people I know I won't talk to anymore.

"Like"

If someone all of a sudden goes or has a streak of political/moral rants.

I am usually an "unsubscriber" as well - but if they start going cra-cra on FB, they are not needed in my life....even online.

I deleted the girl that posted EVERYTHING about her pregnancy-seriously. At what point her baby was PEEING INSIDE HER, how dilated she was, when she lost her mucus plug-I deleted at mucus plug. I was terrified I was about to see a crowning picture.

I also deleted a girl who went on a rant about how ALL Muslims are terrorists. I tried to say you can't judge an entire religion by the actions of a few-look at westboro, or the Waco murders and I got "HOW DARE YOU TALK ABOUT MY RELIGION! YOU WILL BURN IN HELL!" Okay, see you there! delete.

[hobs209]

Pretty much anything racist or discriminatory gets an automatic delete from me. Also any nutters that make veiled "threats" against the president (does anyone remember that FB group that referenced wanting the president to die? yeah, automatic unfriending).

[roselis]

I rarely delete people for what they say on FB. I will hide them. I deleted a few of XHs family. Still friends with several of them though, only because I like them and promised them I would keep in touch (this is family I had found for XH, his dad's side that his mom kept him from. We met them the year after we were married.)

I have had several of my own family unfriend me. Not sure if it is the massive amount of pictures that get tagged of me when the renaissance faires start up. or my politics (I will post my opinon on certain issues, but will never say someone is wrong for theirs, just that we disagree on that)

[stephbfan]

I have a college friend who was really wild back then. At some point she got found God or whatever she wants to call it which I totally respects. She now posts about how much God loves her and how much she loves her husband every single day at least 3 times.

I also have another friend who is atheist and keeps bashing religion. If you meet her in real life, she is not like that at all.

[missbetty1]

The whole unfriending, blocking people, hiding news feed, oversharing sh*t got on my last nerves so I unfriended FB all together and deactivated my account

[naeljun]

I don't unfriend too many people, I usually just hide them but I have unfriended people who annoyed me from other private message boards I am/was on and heard them complain on those boards about this and that and their parents, in laws, husbands, etc but when they posted on FB they would say how great their parents, in laws, husbands, etc was. I have also deleted because your husband had an out and out affair with a co-worker, which caused you to have an eating disorder and you stayed with him and post pictures of what a happy family you are. That and you push your vegan lifestyle down my throat and look down upon me for liking meat.

I have also deleted because you are just bat shit crazy and have no life outside of your children. If I have to read one more post about your fucking kids, I am going to shoot my brains out. I mostly delete them because I feel a whole lot of pitty that their whole life is their children. I mean every single post.

I have hidden people who are always posting about God and religion too but now I just skip over them.

[starburst604]

I'll unfriend friends and relatives of someone I've just broken up with, I don't want to see or know anything about them and FB just gives tooooo much information. If someone is SUPER offensive as far as racial/religious stuff I will but that's rare. I hid TONS of people though, I don't want to see your political rants or shout-out's to God and Jesus, OR you potty/child rearing updates. I had to hide one woman who would post every evening about her son's "tubby time!!!!". It's too bad because sometime these people otherwise have interesting/funny things to say and I don't get to see that because they won't shut up about other shit.

Oh and this one chick that was obsessed, I'm talking OBSESSED with car seat safety. It was her personal mission. And hey, I guess it's a noble one, but it has no bearing on me right now. So, HIDDEN.

:Y:

[dakotadangerdog]

I unfriend people just because we don't ever talk to each other and I see no point in being "friends"

[lovelybb]

The only people I've unfriended and/or blocked are an ex-bf who was an ass to me, my ex-h and D's ex-wife. I found out she facebook stalked me and while my privacy settings are secure, she accessed my business facebook page and checked it out... I think she can still do that, but my personal page does not exist for her anymore.
