I came across an article about "unfriending" The article starts out stating that the word "unfriend" is "the New Oxford American Dictionary Word of the Year" for the year 2009. My first thought was, "Really?" The article is directly related to Facebook but I thought perhaps it had worthwhile points that could be applied to all social media. #1 Doesn't apply to RP (I hope) because we're all prescreened. +1 for RP. :-) #2 Hmm well I consider the military members on RP to be my brothers and sisters in arms. It's a different social situation than FB that's open to everyone. #3 to 7, are applied individually, so I'm not going to comment on them. #8 is just silly.

Their death CPT (Join to see) is the first things that comes to mind.
In these days of tension on many fronts people post things that they regret later. I try to give people the benefit of the doubt and have never unfriended anybody on Facebook, un-contacted anybody on LinkenIn, or blocked anyone on RallyPoint.
I try to think, write, read what I wrote and then post. I make mistakes at times and realize others do as well :-)

I seldom block or unfriend anyway unless they prove to be too stupid to debate. I actually unfriended my liberal niece for that reason. To debate someone with reasonable intellect keeps it interesting regardless of the side you fall on.
