I've started the process of pruning my flist.

[panik]

Really, it's getting awfully crowded and there are a lot of people here who don't ever post or probably even read or with whom I no longer have much in common, or share much in the way of opinions and attitudes, or else I friended a long time ago but they never friended me back so... I'm guessing they want to leave as much as I need to reduce the size of m'flist but are much too nice and polite to say so.

Anyway, it's almost spring and it's time. I'm not pruning much, just a little...

If you've found yourself removed and care,, I'm more than happy to have you stay - just leave a comment and I'll re-friend you.

I'm just doing a litle spring cleaning, both in RL and LJ-life. It's nothing personal.

ETA: Remaining flist (*g*) - where do you stand on people who don't friend you back? There are quite a few on my flist. I've ditched some but there are others that are friends of friends, that I see regularly around the place - mostve been on my flist a good long while and haven't returned the compliment so, presumably, don't care to have me around...? I'm not sure I want to stay friended to someone who clearly doesn't want the same from me,  but I don't want to offend or seem like I'm flouncing...? Man... This is getting complicated. *g*

I decided a long time ago that what I wanted out of LJ was relationships, and not just to be some kind of fan club, so for the most part, I defriend if someone has not friended me back in a certain amount of time. There are always exceptions...for example, I'm friended to someone who is a TV writer, I just read her LJ for the insights and don't expect her to friend me back. And yes, it does kind of offend me when someone with whom I have lots of mutual friends won't friend back! ;)

I'm friended to a few people for professional reasons, people that I know have massive flists and that's fine - I don't expect them to friend me back. It's the folks who hang out with mutual friends, people I have a degree of interaction with and that I friended a long time ago but never friended me back... I think the time has come to prune those people out. ::nods. hefts shears. Grins::
