Friend requests, continuing saga

The word "friend" to me says it all. If you would not have that type of person in your life and not feel comfrotable with them then in here would be just the same. I do not like to knock "friends requests" back but after looking up their profile this can make a diffrence to me! If they have soooo many friends and if their discussions are out of my character then I have denied them, not many I might add but it has occured a few times. We have to at least relate to people in here to have a decent discussion as I think that is what is required of us, (isn't it?) lol

I would have done exactly the same thing - but only 'cos I believe that the people I have on my friends list should be "friends" not just people I keep on my list in hope that they may give me a good rating and comment on my posts. If you've clashed with this member once - i'm sure you would do it again. So unless you like debating then I wouldn't bother.

I think you did the right thing wanderlaugh, I would have done the same too. I don't form opinions about people till I've been around them for a while and once it's formed I hardly think about changing it. So if somebody were abusive I wouldn't probably change my opinion just because they sent a friend request. It is very strange how differently people react, sometimes I accept it gracefully and at other times I get fuelled myself. I guess it happens and its all in the game here.

I wouldn't agree to a friend request from someone who abused me. I don't even understand why they would send you a request. I think you did the right thing in the first place - ignore them and move on, no point in continuing hostilities.
