For What Reason(s) You Will Delete a Friend from Your Friend’s List?

Hello ctrymuziklvr, That must be a welcome coincidence, then!? 200 would be too much for me too, I have 140 and I, too, wonder where they are, LOL! But to be honest, many of them have left this site many months ago but I am keeping them! You have pretty strict criteria over there with deletions, but then you know better how to manage your list. You have, perhaps, made a good decision about comment section. I just try to delete the inappropriate comment. I appreciate you appreciation for disagreement, really! Thanks for sharing your views ctrymuziklvr!:-)

Hello novataylor!:-) You are obviously generous with friends in trying to keep them and just turning your notifier off for those you may not feel like interacting with often! And yes, it is easy to disregard a discussion, for any reason, from lacking knowledge to lacking motivation. I am so pleased that you try to participate in all my discussions, well, except for political and technical ones, which is one my areas of interest too! I am honored, my friend!:-) Your response is relevant especially when you set out from the very relevant point(s). Nova, I never delete people! ok, except for a couple or so (in my entire time here) of those who were spamming others and being very rude (not with me) and insulting! I would never delete you, my friend. You can only go off my friend's list, if only 'you' choose so, that's for sure!:-) Thanks for sharing!:-)

I hope so, I would like so, nay, I would love so! Friends for ever!

Well then, it would appear that we're friend forever, Kamran. :)

You are welcome!

Hello mbs730, I believe there would be quite a valid reason for a person, like you who don't otherwise delete people, to delete someone from one's friend's list here! Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello Sissygrl!:-) Are you sure there are three and not four!? :-) Your first reason is quite understandable; actually all three are rational and are valid reasons for consideration of removal of a friend from friend’s list. And yes, one can disagree without insulting someone else’s integrity and intelligence. I have never done it in person, at least not intentionally, but I did question a group’s integrity and intelligence, though not directly but vaguely and only of those who question others’ (not mine) directly! Just to remind them that they need to look in the backyard before questioning others’! It would appear that you are so addicted to questioning that even replying, you couldn’t resist the temptation! LOL! Of course I mentioned it not to demean you but in a very positive sense!:-) Well, my friend, it happens that I was thinking about this discussion for a week now. Actually, another good member of this community and I were discussing something and the discussion diverted to a specific reason for which we would delete someone from our friend’s list. I thought it would be interesting to ask other members too! Did you think that there could be some other reason? Do share!:-) And yes, you are right that if you delete for above reason, those folks may not even notice that they aren’t on your friend’s list anymore! Thanks for sharing!:-)

lol I sometimes ask questions in my answers so that the discussion can keep going! I dunno if it helps with the earnings if your discussions keep going on and on or not, but it helps get to know people and gives you something to talk about with your mylot friends ;) Hope you have a good day;)

Sissygrl, you seem to be quite intelligent and observant yourself. In fact, both of the things are true. It DOES help in earning; every contribution you make in discussions here helps in earning. And, very truly, it helps to understand friends more and more! Good day to you too!:-)

Oh my friend, We weren't butting heads and I don' think we ever will. You respect me and I respect you. We may disagree but it Never gets down and dirty personal. I enjoyed our heated discussion on the Eden Story.I got to see you point of view and I hope you could see mine. I am so sorry to scare like that. I won't delete you. I cherish your friendship too much.

I don’t think either that we will ever be that way with each other, sarah! I did see your point there on Eden story. And, you didn’t scare me intentionally, I just didn’t want to lose any of my friends especially those who dare to voice their opinions however different they are from mine. I, like you, cherish our friendship! Thank you, sarah!:-)

Hello sarahruthbeth22!:-) All your reasons are valid. It is kind of you to wait that much long before deleting friends and have them back if/when they return!:-) I, personally, don’t delete friends though, even if they haven’t logged in for nearly as much time I am here on mylot, at least it has been so up until now, as we speak. I have deleted a couple or so for spamming and insulting others though! You got me for a moment with your third one, sarah, as I rushed to see if it is me you have deprived of the honor of your friendship. It will surely be a loss to lose you as a friend! I am glad, it’s not me!:-)

Hello sergeantrom, You sound like a true sergeant, sergeantrom! I like that! Thanks for sharing! :-)

I am and you are welcome.

Hello wolfie34, That's lots of friends indeed, you must be lucky even though, I guess, that may be a pain too, to manage so many friends!:-) It's very gracious of you to accept people even if you have deleted them before. Spam is a genuine and one of the most common reason for people to consider deleting someone from friend's list. And, you have a fair enough deal there not to get spam as you don't spam others yourself! Thanks for sharing!:-) PS: I have been contemplating a response to one of your posts that I saw this morning, the one related to hate! I hope to formulate a response today!

Hi Trans

Hello Calais, I can see that 3 months can be a long time for anyone. Of course it's possible that they haven't opted for getting emails for messages! in which case messaging would be futile! Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello Galena, Spamming is really very annoying and fair enough reason to delete a contact. Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello Modestah, Your reasons sound reasonable to me! spamming seems to be one of the most common reason, other being inactivity! I,...I don't delete my friends, even if they are inactive for nearly as much time I am here. I have been spammed too but I usually asked the friend that that's not what I was looking in friendship, fortunately, they got the message. Similarly, I don't delete for disagreements, however strong they are. That said, I did delete 2-4 people because of their continuous spamming others and being rude and insulting to others (not to me)!:-)

Hello rishalravindran, Welcome to mylot, I hope you will be enjoying your stay here!:-) Ignoring a friend is indeed not good! thanks for shring!:-)

Hello Feona1962!:-) It's so good to see you!:-) I do think that rude people are just hard to be tolerated in friend's list. The couple or so people that I have deleted shared this trait, i.e. they were rude and insulting to others (though not to me). Otherwise, like you, I don't ever delete my friends either. Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello Sillychick, Spamming would be well deserved and fairly common reason for people to dispose of some user from friend's list. I also understand your reason to delete those who don't share interests with you, after all friendship is positively about sharing! Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello pasjiskot, Welcome to mylot, I hope you will enjoy your stay here!:-) Yes, it would seem obvious that deleting a user from friend's list mean that we are not willing to communicate with them as such and hence your reason. When I mentioned it was in context that you are deleting someone in response to some offence or to explain your reason to delete them. Thanks for sharing anyway!:-)

Hello KrauseHome, Inactivity of members seems to be a major reason for their dismissal of friends from Friend's list here, And I can understand that in the perspective of managing one's friend's list. Perhaps, I don't have too many friends on my list, so I, personally, keep people on my list no matter how much inactive they have been! Of course, it's a personal choice and everyone has perfect right to do with their accounts whatever they please. I also understand, and feel, that spamming is just intolerable especially the one you described here. I have tolerated spamming myself and have asked them that this is not something I want friendship for. Time does limit our interaction and we surely love to make the best out of it. Thanks for sharing!:-)

You don't waste any opportunity to impress me with your pragmatism, polachicago!:-) True, friendship is a two way affair. It's like a Polaroid camera; light will only pass when angles are aligned! I get it. I personally like to keep them though, for as long as I am! You have a good point there about good relationship, pola, it is quite logical and understandable to wait for some more than others, we naturally do that, I guess. Inherently, maybe, we don't like to lose friends! Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello gotcho0O! Thank you for sharing your reasons methodically, and all those make sense. And, yes, it's your account and you sure have full liberty and freedom to deal it as you please. Thank you, once again, for sharing!:-)

Hello simplyman2006! I am glad that you keep your friends on here. 2 months is fair enough time, I would guess. I, personally, don't delete them even if they haven't logged in for around a year. But, it's just me and we all have our personal choices! Thanks for sharing!:-)

Hello nanayangel, You are quite a generous friend, nanayangel! I too keep my friends and haven't deleted any except two for spamming and some other reasons! Thanks for sharing!:-) PS: I recall that I asked you about meaning of your screen name as it resembles with something I can relate to, of course if you don't mind sharing!:-)

Hello luvstochat, That's quite an understandable reason to delete someone, how rude people sometimes are! I hope now that you have deleted comments section, you will be in peace!? Thanks for sharing!:-)
