NBR mini-vent
So there's this girl I've known forever (we used to go to church together years ago) who is kind of a snatch. A couple weeks ago, we disagreed on something on facebook, and she got really ugly and hateful about it. I decided to un-friend her--not because she pissed me off, but because it made me realize I don't even like this person, so why am I "friends" with her? So I guess she has now realized that I un-friended her, and she sent me a friend request. 
I'm sorry--if someone un-friended me, sure, it might piss me off. But I would get the hint that they don't want to be my friend. I don't know how I'm supposed to respond to this, so I'm just not.
Ugh...it's ironic since I'm one of the people that dragged everyone here over to facebook, but sometimes I think if it weren't for the baby, and keeping long-distance friends/family updated, I would just quit. I love it, but it can be a breeding ground for silly drama.

Re: NBR mini-vent
I'm there with you - Facebook is kind of a bane that way. Statuses and friendships on Facebook have seemingly become so important that if you're not friends with someone on Facebook, you're not friends with them in real life. It's kind of... odd.
Maybe she's completely oblivious to the fact that she's a snatch and thought it was an accident
I've been so happy since I gave up FB a few months ago... I also had some 'friends' who liked to cause drama and complain about everything... and in the end I realised I just didn't need to deal with all of that, it was so negative.
Now I text and email my actual friends, and I do not care what other post of FB, how much they complain about their lives, I dont need to read their crap!
agh! I feel you! SMIL is NOT on my friends list, but she frequently sends me (and my sisters!) friend requests. This is after a toooon of drama with her on fb and she's even asked me in person if we could be "fb friends" and I told her I just wasn't comfortable with that...
All's ya can do is keep hitting "ignore"... there really isn't a better solution to my knowledge, other than blocking...

I gave it up last year, and it sounds silly, but I felt so free! I ended up coming back because I missed keeping up with a few long-distance people, and they are just not texters or e-mailers. But I'm getting the itch to quit again. I would just feel bad because I know people like to keep up on me and the baby through fb.
