Even more Facebookin’
On Facebook, people hate Mondays, look forward to the weekend, their kids did something funny, they ate something, and like cats. Just so you know.
Also, it seems that I’ve had quite a few people attempt to befriend me. And I didn’t know who they were, so I hit the ignore button. And now it’s occurring to me that they’re bloggers and blog readers. I guess that’s the danger of using internet pseudonyms. Is there a way to un-ignore those requests so I can go back through them?
And if I ignored you, sorry about that. In social media, I assume there’s a high ratio of spam. But seems FB doesn’t have that problem.
Update: from comments, I apparently cannot un-ignore you. So, if you sent a request and did not hear back, re-send it. But let me know you’re a blog reader. Or you can send me an email at:
To tell me about it.

People sending you a friend request have the ability to send a private message along with it, such as “big fan of your blog, Uncle!” or something similar, and should do so; identify yourself as a “fellow gunnie” or whatever. Uncle can’t read your minds, folks.
As far as I know, Unc, you can’t go back and “un-ignore” friend requests, people just have to submit a new request.

I think it’s safe to ignore unsolicited fanboyz who are collecting “friends” just to augment their stats – IMO it’s a game to them, but I don’t do Facebook.

It’s usually a good idea to state why you’re doing a request if you don’t directly know the person. I tend to send them to NRA members who comment on threads to expand the communication network.
