Is there any way to block a friend on FB that your sorry you invited them in? Other than cancelling FB and starting over is there another way?

Thanks

There was a sociological study done where a professor had his students do things like pick up trash that missed the public trash cans, clean up graffitti, and other sorts of public works. But they were to do it individually, not as a group, and record reactions. This was to make it clear that it was the person's individual initiative to clean up, not a student club that does this kind of stuff one weekend a semester or whatever. Results were that people felt awkward, because someone was doing the work, and they weren't, so they felt guilty. Or they felt that was a city worker who forgot their uniform or something. But the basic finding was that most people do not think that public space is theirs. Or that it is theirs to enjoy, but not take care of, because that's what city workers are for. I'd like to join the others who have encouraged you to continue. How did you get permission to do these public plantings and I hope you get reimbursed for the plants!

unfortunately no Mike it could be enemies or those frienimies that once were friends and are no longer, often times they would do things like that simply because they can and they know it would be upsetting. Those people likely would not honor a request to please not do that. Or people that just get off on being A-holes they seem to be abundant. Also some people have been in groups or clubs etc and are no longer part of them, pictures of groups end up and not everyone in the group pic said it was ok to plaster their image every where. In fact I have been in pictures as a by stander and found my pic, had no idea it was there was never asked to be in a picture or to have it posted. Used to they had to ask permission to use your pictures and get signed release forms. Not to mention just being the polite thing to do. the thing about facebook is the opt out feature not opt in which makes if a bit different ballgame.

When You Don't Want to Be Invisible or Friends After 50

I had been trying to re-connect with a friend by emailing her and arranging lunch dates. I was always the one to initiate. I kept it up for several months. When we saw each other it was always really nice. When we ran into each other at church there were always big hugs and "we have to do lunch again soon !". The only way that was going to happen was if I initiated. I stopped. For good or bad I don't think that it can be one-sided. I have given this a lot of thought. I have always been a loner and I believe I always will be. I have had one good friend at a time for years and then it would end and I would have another. I seem to be able to manage that and nothing else. I believe that if I really wanted more I would do more to aide the process. DH and I are really close and do a lot of things together and separately. He has no close friend either. But that is nothing new. Looking at it dispassionately it is the way we are. I no longer think there is something wrong with us. Everyone finds their own way of carrying on. My way wouldn't work for someone else and their way wouldn't work for me. When I am on a bike tour for months at a time I do enjoy being with others ...up to a point. All of us on the trips agree that our tent is like a return to the womb :) When I get home I really relish the lack of stimulation from others and go right back into my solitary ways. I have meditated at length on this and on my original thread that spawned this thread. I am what I am and that is all that I am. Peaceful is how I feel ...not lonely or alone. c

well deleting a facebook account is not really easy. You can deactivate it but believe me that is not the end of it! that does NOT delete it or your info. I try to make everyone understand you MUST take a lot of steps and effort to get this task done which should be a simple thing but they really don't want you to go so get ready to jump through those hoops!
How to Really Delete Your Facebook Account

In case that method does not work here is the long method
Longer Method

YET one more reason I will never be on facebook! something that should be done with one click is made so difficult to accomplish and will only be done after you wait 14 days.

Yes, I know it takes two weeks to clear up providing you stay away FB as I was a member a few years back and quit..I think they keep your info forever though as it transferred all my email contacts even though I had a new email address. I had the option of only blocking two people from coming through and the rest were, not visible so they sent those names asking to them to be my friend...without my permission. Just a hassle for me...FB is over bearing.

but did you follow those specific directions as given in the link provided? if not it is only deactivated and will not ever be deleted.What you say happened should NOT happen if the steps to delete fully are done but it will if only deactivated.

I meant that I requested to be permanently deleted in my earlier post not deactivated.

Zep, thanks for that article. I changed lots of settings, so hopefully I am now in "stealth mode."

Just saw this interesting article, I know several large companies that check all the social sites before hiring and after.
Who is Watching You On Facebook?

I was on a forum once where someone told way too much info about a law-suit they were involved in, it was found and copied by those involved and actually used in court, NOT to her benefit. It really amazes me sometimes the info people put out there.

I understand the privacy issues but if we're all invisible on Facebook doesn't that kind of defeat the purpose of Facebook?
