The funny thing is I've seen people with a million friends and I like clicking through friends circles to see who likes who. In reality I suppose though it is a bit like Christmas cards in that we all send them for different reasons.

I, for one, happen to need the friends function. It will make life a damn sight easier for me when I move back home, which is out of the US; though I was born and raisd in the US I don't call it home any longer and moved overseas many hears ago now. I will have to spend an extended amount of time offline and this allows me to better hide my profile while offline and then find everyone when I am back online. While the favorite users is not much different, and I saw no whining over that, the freinds function allows for an ID change by someone to automatically be changed.

Lumus you hit the nail smack on the head per usual.

An enemies list would be nice to chart the progress I’m making here.

LOL. I would love to see this.

I don't care either way about the friends feature. I add those I talk to, and ignore those I don't.

Lumus may have some valid points, he may not...I don't know a damn thing about either one of these people or what past issue they have on some other thread somewhere. I DID find it annoying that this person (Lumus) came into this thread, attacking the OP and did not even post a response to her question. Instead of getting your kicks out of attempting to publicly humiliate someone on a message board, maybe you should take this up with her on a one on one (perhaps by sending her a message) basis.

Both sides of whatever mini online war is going on here need to simmer down....

i like the idea of an enemies list or a "loser" list...maybe a "leave me alone" list and if Y/you see Y/your pic or name on there maybe then those people will take a hint...

I am glad you noticed that, many here post on threads
only to attack the OP, they really have nothing to say about the topic.
Thats why I did not respond to the attack on me.
The goal was to publically humilate me, because he simply does not like me.
Rather than just not read posts that I start, he felt it was much better
to attack ME.
Many people feel better about themselves, when they trash other people.
I hope they all are happier people now.

Great observation!

''because he simply does not like me'' charming, really but honestly I have seen you enter into fisticuffs of your own here. None of us are innocents though claiming like or dislike from someone with whom one has a non-relationship to or with is absurd. Some, claim to ''have a take on me'' though they have never met me and know very little about me other than what I choose to tell in a profile here. The high road excludes judging people even though we may be judged.

As to mini online wars, here's my take. If one knows nothing of a situation between people nor has one seen a history of behaviour from one or the other, then my own rule of thumb is to keep the hell out of it. And I have to agree with what others on other threads have said: that unlike the friends button, this thread seems to be the Jr High School.
