How sacred is your friends list on MFP?

Do you track it offline?

Do you review it often?

Do you know the number of folks on it at any one time?

Do you drop someone because they add a particular person that you do not get along with?

As I saw on a movie once, "dish" and share your stories. I'm listening...

    Do you fear anyone on your friends list?

    Do you worry about what they might think of others on your friends list?

    How sacred is your friends list on MFP? Not.

    Do you track it offline? No.

    Do you review it often? Occasionally.

    Do you know the number of folks on it at any one time? No.

    Do you drop someone because they add a particular person that you do not get along with? No, but sometimes I don't reply to forums b/c I think they'll be offensive to some of my "regular" posters... or I turn my settings so that it won't update when I post to a forum. Not ashamed of my opinions, just respectful of my pals and their ways. Not all of them are the same.

    So... I guess I'm not really that serious after all.

    Why would you have a friend that you fear on MFP? It's the interwebs. There should be no fear.

    All the chicks on my FL could kick my butt.

    I fear them.... but in a "I've got broads to bring to a bar fight" kind of way. ;)

    It's spooky how hard core it can get in here.

    I hear stories of people scared to drop someone that they really aren't clicking with. It's "cray cray", as the kids say.

    I usually know how many people are on my list. If I lose someone I it might take me a couple of days to realize who but I usually figure it out. If it was someone I had talked with and liked, I will ask why they deleted me. If it is someone I didn't really get to know all that well, I figure it's no great loss.

    I have never deleted anyone based on who their friends are. Sometimes I make friends through friends, just like in real life.

    What I find funny is that I delete people off my friends list who have zero interactions with me. I mean, I don't support them, they dont' support me. We don't talk. We don't have messages. Now I'm called all kinds of names over it! And people are scared for me to post on their wall because they'll be deleted by who I deleted. Honestly it's hilarious to hear the about the name calling. It's like I'm on a playground again watching people say "I won't be your friend because you're friends with him!" HA!

    Oh, snap. Something happen recently?

    I had something happen recently in a similar vain. Not much interaction, and I felt it was time to remove some folks from my newsfeed. Come to find out that some folks fear dropping certain people from their friends list. It's crazy -- like MFP mafia, complete with blackmail!

    Vaginas Only. My new answer to every question, and a damn good one.

    I just make sure no serious people end up on my FL. I always know who is on it, because I like knowing my audience. Goes for real life too.

    People willing to have intercourse with me are given first priority. Again, as in real life.

    I, too, have deleted due to zero interaction. I also deleted a guy because he never posted anything on his own wall, either and ALL of his friends were chicks (yes, chicks) with provocative pics. I didn't like feeling like I was being collected.

    Dammit, I wanted him all to myself!

    No, not really. Not even a little.

    I was gone for a few months and I had friends that dropped me. I was hurt! I'm a big guy with a big heart.
    Just when you think you have someone you can talk to, then they disappear like a prom dress! I'm the one always giving and giving but never get anything in return!

    My heart has been stomped on over and over! Who will hold me?

    I only add people who don't mind dealing with this (from my "About Me"):
    * I shed a crap ton of weight, so clearly I know what I'm doing
    * I'm the Queen of TMI
    * I am bipolar. YAY! BOO!
    * I flirt blatantly and indiscriminately with men, women, and scary clowns
    * I like making drunken YouTube video greetings for my friends
    * I play bartender on here a lot. Send me a PM and tell me your troubles - I'll make you a virtual drink and listen without judging.
    * I don't usually comment on food/exercise diaries, but if you really need some extra support and/or encouragement, send me a PM and I'll do my best.
    * I have a supremely long tongue that gives me the power to make you fall in love with me and/or give you nightmares.
    * I love MFP

    If someone doesn't like this and they delete me, I'm okay with it.
    I only delete people that I don't interact with or that do one of only two things that can offend me -
    * putting people down for having less-than-perfect bodies,
    * belittling people with mental illness (including EDs) and/or trying to say that mental illness isn't serious or important or real.

    Yes, I know how many people are on my FL.
    Yes, I care about it.
    No, I don't have a spreadsheet or anything outside of MFP - I interact enough with most of them that it's completely unnecessary.

    I'm going to respond to my own question, in the spirit of dialogue.

    How sacred is your friends list on MFP? Not very.

    Do you track it offline? No.

    Do you review it often? No.

    Do you know the number of folks on it at any one time? No.

    Do you drop someone because they add a particular person that you do not get along with? No. That would be silly.

    Do you fear anyone on your friends list? Of course not.

    Do you worry about what they might think of others on your friends list? Of course not.

    I appreciate the support -- and, as the kids say, LULZ -- provided by those in my friends list, but I'm not about to get worked up about it. Life's too short and drama-filled to have more drama on this site.

    How sacred is your friends list on MFP? Not really all that sacred.

    Do you track it offline? Nope... I have a hard enough time keeping track of my finances...

    Do you review it often? No.

    Do you know the number of folks on it at any one time? nope, its small though because people keep effing deleting me... its easy to keep track of.

    Do you drop someone because they add a particular person that you do not get along with? Nope... unless I become a pawn in a stupid game and then I will.

    Do you fear anyone on your friends list? If I feared them they would not be on my FL...

    Do you worry about what they might think of others on your friends list? should I? Because I don't..

    I only delete friends who deactivate their accounts. Otherwise, I figure if I comment, "Come back!" enough on their "Haven't logged in..." posts, they'll be annoyed enough to actually come back.

    Also, I have 69 friends...so I no longer accept requests.
