Reply #13: Well this is great. The same person now, second day in a row, made a big deal of being "unfriended"

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

by me, while we were at work, in front of a group of people.

In the context of trying to persuade a different person at work to join up on Facebook (or post more or whatever) she made a big deal of pointing out that "Mayberry Machiavelli defriended me" to that person (I was standing several feet away).

I talked to her supervisor afterwards and said that she needs to get the message to let the Facebook drama go, and that she's taking it way too seriously and personally.

In the context of making this thread, I realized that my own cousin had defriended me, she's one of those people who was constantly posting video and picture links which I rarely ever commented on. No doubt since it was rare that I would respond to her (there was at least one PM of hers that I hadn't responded to yet), but I would still periodically make the occasional post, so she knew that I was using Facebook, she took offense.

The sad thing is if not for Facebook I'd probably be "that cousin who is incredibly slow and bad about responding to emails", with less hard feelings.
