Do you dislike any of your "friends" on MyLot?

January 30, 2007 2:30am CST
I'm doing a serous friend clear out. I've only ever asked three people to be my friend yet i had over 80. My question is do you ever dislike people who add you? Do you still reply to their discussions? Or do you delete them straight away?

I only have a few friends on mylot and just deleted one of them. The main reason is that I like to respond to my friends' posts, but if there are too many of them then I couldn't get around to them all. There is still one friend who posts really dumb things and I may delete him, but there are a few good discaussions in the midst of his bad ones that are worth replying to so I'll hold off. He is relatively new so I'll give him a chance to start some serious threads.

I had a huge list of friends too at one time and found that the majority of tehm were not people I was interested in! They did not offer topics that held my interest, not did they reply to mine. I cleaned house too, only keeping maybe 15 of over 100. Now I am very selective when adding or accepting friends. I make sure that we have had communicated in each other's threads, for one. I don't worry if they don't respond to a lot of my discussions because I surely don't respond to all of theirs. But our interests have to be similar.

I've been doing this lately, and I will continue to do this as time goes on. I still have some on my list that I am not in good terms at, so I expect that they delete me first if ever they saw this post of mine!;)LoL I give them a fair chance most of the times, but I do remove them whenever I can't handle some of their posts, as I know we don't have the same preference in-terms of interests and views. And just recently, I've been receiving lots of friend's request from time to time. Just waiting for the right time to add and approve some of them, and hope that they are more responsible in posting here on mylot.

Well, yes about two-thirds of my friends were the ones who invited me but many of them don't reply to any of my posts even if I replied to theirs. Apparently, they are just adding friends hoping that they get more responses to their discussions. In fairness there are plenty who actively participate in almost all of my discussions and I always return the favor to them. I think it's just right. I also notice that some of those friends in my list have not been active for the last couple of weeks so maybe I'm going to do a little cleaning later.

I don't turn down any friendship offer for 2 main reasons. I consider it an honour for somebody to stretch a hand of friendship to me. I feel bad when my friendship offer is turned down, so I don't want to hurt anybody with rejection. However, I have discovered that not all the so-called friends are interested in friendship. They probably are more interested in amassing numbers. Most of them don't even give replies to personal messages, how much less making responses to my new-thread postings. Yet, I have discovered a few of them to be lousy posters, and have advised one or two of them some time before. Nevertheless, I respond to their posts which interest me or which I have a reasonable thing to contribute to. I consider it inappropriate to delete any 'inactive' or 'lousy' friends, or refuse to respond to their posts. Friendship, to me, is a calling and an honour and a privilege. I would rather try and advise them when appropriate than discard them. They could prove useful one day.

I recently completely overhauled my friends list. I had 90 of them, and 90% of them have never replied to a response I have made, even though I try my best to support everyone on my friends list and reply to at least one or two of their posts every fortnight or so. I didn't think it was very fair that most of these people were getting my help, when they couldn't even be bothere helping me. So i deleted them from my list. I also deleted people with spam questions, stupid questions, very poor answers, or no posts or responses. Whats the point of having them as a friend? I think I have about 30 friends now, and they're all people I think are nice, with interesting discussions, that do help me out every now and again by replying to my posts, just as I do for them.

Nice topic started out. i am just wondering what happend to people. I always comment on my topics, but i dont receive any kind of comment when i response to other's why is it so. No one checks it out or what. Still even i am thinking of cuting out them its really a waste, thinking that those who responses us, we will response them back.

I don't see the point of accepting "friends" that I don't know. I'd rather have zero friends than a bunch of people I've never talked to on my list.
