...and it's someone you really don't care to get reacquainted with, how do you deal with it?
I have clearly offended a former acquaintance who was really never anything more than a pot hookup (who totally ed over both myself and my friends on more than one occasion) by not accepting a Facebook friend request (oh noes!), and now I'm getting flack for it from a few people from that part of my life who I still remain in contact with.
My opinion of all of this is: :stongue:
...but I also don't really care to get lectured, sometimes by people I haven't spoken with in years, about somehow being a who doesn't want anything to do with former "friends."
Contrary to popular belief, more often than not I don't particularly treat the internet as serious business. |

| I think I only refused two friendship requests over social sites: one was a psycho ex, and the other was a girl whose mother talked about nothing but careers... and just thinking of her made my head hurt. |

| Yes, I am generally used to ignoring folks - but meh, when a handful of people force the issue, that becomes a bit more tricky - especially when even one of them is actually a good friend. |

Can't you be honest and explain to this good friend that you really don't want to associate with this other guy any more? |

That is what I would do. He should have taken a hint from being blocked, but sometimes it helps to explain to the person that you don't consider them friends and you feel they were a dick back when you did keep contact with them. |

Yes, and I have, but unfortunately the situation is complicated by the fact that the two of them grew up together and my friend cuts this kid an incredible amount of slack - so he feels like it's almost an insult to him for me to say " this other kid."
Just drama, drama, drama - and out of ing nowhere. |
