Have you ever been taken off someones friends list?

Asked by Pandora (32398points) December 21st, 2009

If someone on fluther took you off their friends list and as far as you know, you said nothing wrong to them,
would you leave it alone,
send them a comment asking why,
or just get pissed off or upset,
or would you just not care either way because fluther friends aren’t real to you?

We aren’t notified. I doubt that I would notice.

Maybe they were making room for more friends? I wouldn’t care or notice.

If I noted, I may reach out to them. It may mean I’m not keeping in touch with them as often as I should be.

azlotto's avatar

Probably taken off…Ain’t no thang.

When I finally noticed I was removed as a friend of someone on another Q&A site, I was hurt at first. Then I just went on about my merry way answering questions, and the hurt went away.

I wouldn’t care.

La_chica_gomela's avatar

I’ve never noticed, but I’m sure it’s happened; I can be a real jackass.
I wouldn’t really care.

Pandora's avatar

@azlotto Probably? Does that mean all above.
@taciturnu Good point.
@hawaii_jake Yep! time cures all. Thanks

stemnyjones's avatar

I wouldn’t care. Honestly, fluther friends aren’t my real friends. Plus, there’s only like one person on my friends list who I KNOW is on my friends list. Usually I just add people when I see a few of their answers and they’re particularly witty or intriguing.

Pandora's avatar

@azlotto Gotcha! Thanks for clearing that up.

Do we have a limit on the amount of people we can be friends with?

Pandora's avatar

@Samantha_Rae Don’t know. Good question.

@Pandora Ok who did you piss off? :)

Seriously though I wouldn’t care I don’t play into people’s childlike games.

janbb's avatar

They just increased the number of people you can put in your Fluther to 200.

jrpowell's avatar

I would curl up in a ball and cry if Allie removed me. I tolerate her that much.

Pandora's avatar

@janbb Ah, didn’t know there was a limit. Thanks for the info.

No I never been taken off someone’s friends list on Fluther but I was taken off Ted Kaczynski’s Christmas list,he thought I was much too radical.

Pandora's avatar

@sjmc1989 It wasn’t me, I swear but I think I know who it was. He has a shiny red nose. :P

La_chica_gomela's avatar

@Pandora: Psst: You don’t have to reply to every person who answers, especially just to say something like “I don’t know. Good question”. The mods tend to dislike that, and after a while they’ll start removing these kinds of posts as “better suited for the chatroom”. Word to the wise.

@Pandora You mean to tell me that Santa himself took you off his friends list?? Jolly my ass!

sjmc1989's avatar

Naughty! Naughty! or are we talking about his little damn reindeer??

Jeruba's avatar

I’ve noticed from time to time, though not lately. I don’t attach any importance to it. I would certainly never ask someone about it.

I’ve also trimmed my fluther now and then to omit members who’ve become inactive as I needed to make room for new names.

dpworkin's avatar

They aren’t your friends, this isn’t your home town or your neighborhood; who gives a shit?

jbfletcherfan's avatar

I have been taken off of lists, put back on by a few, been on a see-saw. Some of my friends here ARE personal friends. We’ve gone way beyond fluther. I care a great deal, depending on who they are. I take off & put on myself.

janbb's avatar

I, too, have friends I’ve made on Fluther but I don’t use “my Fluther” as a way of listing or keeping track of them. I hardly use it all, actually, although I have added people at times whom I thought were particularly clever.

Allie's avatar

I wouldn’t know. I’m oblivious to pretty much everything. I hardly even notice when someone adds me to a Fluther and we get a notification for that. There is no way I’m going to know if I’m removed from one.

ItalianPrincess1217's avatar

I wouldn’t even know. And if I did happen to notice I would
likely just shrug it off. Meh, whatever.

Fluthermucker's avatar

God, I hope so.

phillis's avatar

Hi, Pandora! It’s like alittle pinch. It’s a twinge of localized pain that is over as quickly as it showed up. I MIGHT approach them, but not to confront. I am very respectful of someone’s right to manage their lives as they see fit. But I might be concerned enough to want to know waht I did wrong. If I owed an apology then I’d do it, then leave them to thier lives, no hard feelings.

Berserker's avatar

Well unless it was someone that I’m a little more friends with than your average online person that just so happens to be on the same site as me, I wouldn’t do anything about it.

Freedom_Issues's avatar

It wouldn’t bother me, and I probably wouldn’t notice.

I really doubt IF I would even notice….

I don’t get any notification etc and I don’t go check…

Anyway; if someone wants me OFF their friends list for whatever the reason; it is not my place to question WHY… no big deal.

Being added to someone’s friend list is a privilege, not a right.

If that person decides to remove me from their list, for whatever reason, they’re entitled to do so.

What sense does it make to choose that as a reason to make myself upset?

Darwin's avatar

I don’t worry about whose friends lists I am on. It’s their lists, not mine.

All I care about is whether I have put someone whose answers or questions I find interesting on my friends list, aka my Fluther.

Besides, I don’t think Fluther tells us if we are removed from a Fluther, or even whose Fluther we have been added to.

And that plus $5.95 will get me a cup of coffee at Starbucks.

wundayatta's avatar

Neither a flutherer nor a flutheree be.

I have no idea who is in my fluther, except for a very few people who are quite important to me. I have even less clue who has put me in their fluther.

Dog's avatar

[Mod Says:] Lets stick to the topic folks. Off topic or personal remarks will be removed.

Jeruba's avatar

@Darwin, we always get a notification that says ”+2 for being added to <username>‘s fluther!” There’s no notification when we’re removed.
