Just to be clear, my own unfriending practices have been way more specific. I really don't care who agrees or disagrees. How they do it is something else again. One of my socalled friends started calling another 4-letter names, on my comment thread. Bye.
Another posted overt racist crap about the US president. And to top it off. The guy's Canadian. Both people I know through fandom. I do not require their friendship.
Both of them Romney fans, I'm sure. So this bit about us Obama voters being hateful bigots who unfriend others at the drop of a hat - there is a very real difference betwen polite disagreement and getting into it with a bagger. It's gotten to a point where I delete first and ask questions later. One trigger is when they "like" Romney. This causes garbage to rain down on my feed. "So, we see you have a friend who likes Mitt Romney, and we suggest you like him, and Hitler and Stalin, and here's a link to 50 great nigger jokes." So, if someone likes Romney on Facebook, they have to go.
