I have a few "Friends" like that. I think it's a common thing especially on FaceBook, people whom you've either not talked to in years for WHATEVER reason continually trying to contact you.

I <3 social network blocking features

Right on, man. I don't mind getting back in touch with old friends from High School, but I would also get the hint if they block me or tell me off, lol. Some people just don't get it, lol. My Ex also watches, and doesn't understand why I don't contact her, considering I broke up with her years ago.

Thanks so much for taking the time to make a video response :)

I definitely agree with everything you said, and I really liked the parts about them having the choice to follow you but you also having the choice to block them. And I didn't really get into it in the video but there are some people who I've blocked on Twitter because they seemed kind of sketchy and I just didn't want to deal with it.

So, it's nice to put a face to your name, and thanks for being so active in the project :)

Thank you for your reply, and you're welcome. I am trying to be a bit more interactive with the community. I'd like to post more responses, but tomorrow I'm moving back into the parent's place, and they don't have internet, so I'm unsure about that. If you don't from me for a while, that's probably why, heh.

Well said regarding the follower/stalker situation. I usually try not to let those kinds of people get to me because they're usually not worth it.

The only reason I have a Twitter is so I can post things on there that I don't necessarily feel comfortable posting on Facebook with my sisters and other family members there... not so much lately, but that was my original intention. Heh.
