Okay, time *sigh* to remove friends.

I'm about as good at deleting people who've unfriended me as I am about throwing out old photos and letters from old lovers. That is to say, I'd prefer not to do it at all.

No matter what our disputes or how our interests have diverged, I still remember you fondly, if (in some cases) rather faintly. If we've disagreed I still probably respect you.

I have in my LJ career only unfriended a handful of people, one of whom I friended back less than a year later. Of the remaining two, one was a personal "unfriending me? Well, then -- so there. Pbblt." The other was a more general swearing-in-capslock irritation.

I hate unfriending.

But recently I haven't been able to friend people back.

LJ places a limit on the number of people you can friend. Thanks to prillalar and vermillion_moon's helpfulness, I'm now scanning the ever-depressing Joule and marking the bodies with yellow tags.

If I unfriend you and you don't want to be unfriended (I can't imagine why) just let me know. I'm assuming all of these who've removed me are gone for good.

*goes back to sorting old photos, feeling rather discouraged, but dutiful. There are new people to add after all.*

ETA: What I have learned -

1 - There are a lot of deleted journals in this world (and on my friendslist)
2 - What the hell did I say on January 13th? Because a whole lot of Stargate people friended me, and a hell of a lot of HP people dropped me
3 - That I still hate unfriending

It shows you all the friending/unfriending action since the last time you (or someone else using your LJ name) checked the site.
