Have you ever deFluthered someone or thought about it?

Yes. If they haven’t been active for a long time or if they pm’d me and told me to.

Only because there used to be a limit of how many you could add. To make room for the new I had to delete the old.

I guess that makes me the Larry King of Fluther.

For the same reason @johnpowell mentioned. The people I removed were no longer active.

Like @johnpowell I have had to weed out long gone jellies to make room for more active ones. No one has ever asked me to remove them and I wouldn’t if they did so don’t bother! ;D

I think I have by accident.

Same as above, only the inactive ones. I never get testy. I love everyone.

@all How do you kow a Jelly has washed ashore and is no longer active? Ummmmmm?

Click on their Avatar. If they’re gone, you’ll get this

Absolutely, once I learned something of them that I found disagreeable. So what, it’s my fluther.

Haha!!! This question reminds me of Halliburton_Shill’s little freak out about not wanting other people adding him to their Fluthers.

God is it sad that I have emotional responses to memories of imaginary people who are no longer here.

@kevbo I remember him! and from wis.dm too!

Sometimes I do it on accident, but I immediately re-ad. I also remove users that haven’t been active for at least 9 months or more.

Yes, I delete those who haven’t been here in a long time, too.

I like to welcome and greet newbies, it’s just something I do. I wouldn’t be here if @filmfann and gail and a few others hadn’t initially greeted me. So I am “giving back” to the community that way.

This means I have to constantly delete in order to add. I hope I haven’t offended anyone. I actually hadn’t thought about it until now – perhaps smoeone thought I deleted them from my fluther for personal reasons – but I’ve actually never done that.

Hmmm.

I use other people’s fluthers to help gauge who they are, what kind of person, that sort of thing. I’m somewhat picky about mine and I also want it to be a reflection of me. I usually hold off on adding people until they’ve been here a while and I’ve gotten a feel for what kind of jelly they are. I hate adding someone and then later finding out they are crazy, don’t play well with others, hold offensive opinions, are narrow-minded, etc.

So, yes, I have removed people from my fluther once it’s been made clear to me that we aren’t on the same wavelength. I think once or twice I removed someone because I was really mad/irritated with them, but that’s pretty much faded now and I would add them back if I would ever remember it. And it takes more than disagreeing with me to be removed, I’m not that petty or bitchy.

I thought the Fluther thing was to keep an eye on members who’s activity interests you, rather than a friend list like on AB or MySpace.
So I don’t really think about it, and mostly I just don’t add people if I don’t think I’ll be checking out their activity in particular, rather than remove them. I’ll admit though, some are great friends, and I’ve removed some people, but I can’t remember why haha.

@MissAnthrope brings up a good point… I’m not terribly quick to add anyone. I wait until I feel like I have a pretty good idea of what they’re like. Also, I forget to add people all the time. I’ll go to someone’s profile to send them a PM and notice they’re not in my Fluther… even though I meant to add them long before then!

I did when I noticed that that person had deleted me. I don’t know why, but I was tiffed.
