If I am royally annoyed by someone in my friends list, is it rude to delete unceremoniously? An explanation would cause resentment...

You aren't obligated to do anything. This is just me, but when people explain I find it more annoying than if they didn't.0

It's MFP. Not the meaning of life. Unless you have a personal relationship with them outside of the site then delete and move on.0

Cool. Wasn't sure of the etiquette. Wasn't stressing or anything...0

Delete. Always choose delete.0

Delete. It's not that big of a deal. Some people take it really serious if you delete them. But in general, you're putting more thought into it than you should.0

Yup. Delete. If they ask why, it is up to you whether or not you provide them with an explanation.0

1) You don't owe anyone an explanation. Even in real life
2) If they're annoying you, then just delete
3) If you DO endup giving an explanation, you're basically allowing them to question you further and bother you even more. Just delete them silently
4) Giving them an explanation makes you look snooty. Delete them with YOUR respect intact0 -
Was there a contract?0

I agree with you on this one. If I annoyed you and we were just occasional blog posting pals on MFP I probably don't care why I annoy you! LOL0 -
If you don't know them IRL, delete!0

I delete all the time! I only keep interactive people around. No need for explanation.0
-
Are they active on your posts? If so, then they might notice and ask you. If they ask you, then go ahead and give them an answer. Otherwise, just delete them and move on.0
-
I say just delete, too. There's no point in having people on your list that you dont' jive with.0

I like to play Friend Request Roulette. Same with Friend Delete Roulette. It's a sweet game of chance and completely dependent on my mood at the time.
The one person that deleted me that I WANTED to be friends with.. I sent him a message that said "wtf?" and he replied back that he deleted everyone. Then I cried myself to sleep.0 -
IMO if you do not like someone delete them. I don't understand why people get all bent out of shape when they find out some random person on the internet has decided to unfriend them. They treat it like a life changing event,0

Im not here to be anyone's friend. Im here to be a support system for people. If down the road, we happen to become friends, great. If not, *shrugs*
This is MY journey, the FIRST time in MY LIFE for me to become selfish and do this.. FOR ME. If someone annoys me, and i find myself feeling the need to "avoid" a person.. i delete them and move on. I do not need to explain myself to someone I hardly know.
I DO NOT NEED STRESS IN THIS JOURNEY. Enough said.0
