    If they go inactive, dont log for a week or more without explanation or if you are a crybaby and whine about overeating or if you talk about how you ate one grape and got so stuffed you couldnt finish the grape. Those are my standards....if you are not here to encourage or at least be productive for yourself we will not jive and I will delete you. I need to be surrounded by focused motivated people!

    With election season right around the corner... there will probably be plenty of deletions on here and FB.

    The most common reason for deletes on FB is political shares.

    I have to admit, they are annoying.

    Unless I agree with them.

    If I disagree, they are just making them selves seem so ignorant.

    ...Oh.

    Ok, good. I wasn't the only one who noticed that too.

    I just assumed everyone who didn't agree with a persons political idea thought that person to be quite ignorant.


    I generally assume the person with the highly opposite or opposing ideas are simply mis-informed, or un-educated.


    Is that just me? :huh:

    So people with differing opinions from yourself automatically means they are misinformed, uneducated, or/and ignorant???

    Yes. At best.

    We've all been uneducated or misinformed about a topic or many or even all of them in our lives at one point.

    You wouldn't completely disagree with an idea/meme while assuming it's a great idea that's well thought out?

    I think it's best to assume a friend with differing views is un-educated or misinformed on the subject and move along than try to actually use social media to talk about a political issue, especially at election time.

    It's too divisive.

    Most people who constantly post political things seem to be more so advertising and supporting their beliefs than open to discussions about them, in my experience. There are exceptions to that.

    I really only delete people who haven't signed in for 30 days or more. I'd also delete people if they're blatantly offensive, but I haven't had that come up

    Same here 30 days and they're gone.

    I also delete for stupid cardio logging "SoAndSo burned 659 calories doing 45 minutes of cleaning or food preparation". Bwahahahaha! Gone!

    I see one that is always showing aburn for "computing" what the hell is that??? I have asked multiple times and havent gotten an answer!

    How would I know? I never look at the friend list. If someone deactivated me I'd neither know nor care.

    You acknowledge the bolded point, but then fail to see that you could be the person guilty of that issue? Or even that politics are necessarily about right or wrong? I mean, obviously there are some arguably objective issues out there (say, civil rights issues), but in general, political leanings vary because people vary on what they want from their governments.

    Someone deleted me recently. I'm offended and hurt. And as soon as I find out who did it (because I don't know who it is...mostly because I don't care) I'm going to let them know I'm offended and hurt.

    No one can delete me. My whole self esteem is founded on my MFP friend list :cry:

    i honestly probably wouldnt notice. i have a long friends list and only about half of them are active enough for me to know who they are.... i am usually happy to talk with them but i havent had my friends list long enough to really know anyone.

    some of them i would probably notice after a while.



    when i delete people, it is usually because i can see we have nothing in common about our diets or personalities. i delete people who look like they have eating disorders they arent addressing and post about how little food they ate that day. i just dont want to be a part of that. i delete guys who send me crude messages and people who seem to be trying to sell something. i like my friends list to be full of fun people, who like food and want to have a better relationship with it, and who have goals similar to mine.

    I never notice if I've been removed and honestly don't really care. I usually clean up my list every 3 months or so ...usually just delete ppl who haven't logged on in a month.

    Not offended. Not hurt.

    If I thought that I really liked a friend then I will feel a little sad about losing the friendship. But, if it ends then it probably was more of a projection than a reality, and that clicks in pretty quickly.

    Have you ever seen the mess a 10 year old, 7 year old, and full grown man can make over the course of a weekend??????? It's like an atomic bomb got caught up in a hurricane, except in my home. I also have a big flight of stairs ... so yeah, I'm going to log my 5 or 6 hours of epic cleaning at the start of the week as like 90 minutes of cleaning. Good thing we're not friends! :bigsmile:

    I doubt I would notice if someone deleted me on here. I usually dont even notice when I get deleted in FB and I actually know those people. I have deleted a couple people off of here just because they dont log in, and I like to keep my friends list at a manageable number. I have also deleted the girls that added me (not sure why) and support each other in eating 100-600 calories a day.

    I log cleaning sometimes. If I do a big, deep clean (usually once a month or so). I'm on my hands and knees scrubbing floors, wiping down walls, moving furniture, etc. It's not the simple sweep, mop, dust, vacuum that I do regularly, it's several hours of super sweaty work. It's not my daily routine, so of course I log it (on the low side).

    I think if a person doesn't usually clean, or cook, it's not unreasonable to log it, as it's not part of their TDEE. Every day is maybe lame, but eh - the only one they are impacting is themselves.

    I have friends with vastly differing political views, and I do not think them ignorant. I do think their opinions on specific topics are ignorant or wrong (I'm sure they think the same of mine), but a persons political views do not define them.
