AHAHAAHA

I got into my first Facebook fight, y'all!

One of the people who went to my uber-conservative Christian college responded to my link to a call to action from Planned Parenthood with a remark about "moral tragedy" so I responded back. Then I went to his profile, because he is one of the few people I have friended that I honestly don't know. So I looked at his profile, and at the Catholic pro-life ad and that he has Sarah Palin under his Pages, and I thought, "Why do I want to pretend like I remember this person?"

So I unfriended him. Maybe it's childish, but I don't really care. This morning he sent me an email saying that I was narrowing my world view by staying away from people who disagree with me. I probably should have just ignored it, but I sent him one back telling him the truth: I don't remember him, and I don't feel we have anything in common, and if that narrows my world, so be it.

Now, I'm going back to playing Scrabble.

All sounds fair enough to me! I rarely friend people first on Facebook, but there are a couple of people who I think 'well I know who you are but why the hell did you friend me??' At least one person I'm fairly sure I've never spoken to in my life.

I know! I wish there was a way to friend someone, but completely filter them out. So that they'd never know you didn't want anything to do with them.
