The idea is, if you want to unfriend me, and you do it today, I won't take it personally.

I just wanted to let y'all know I'm not participating.

If you cut me off of your friends list today, I WILL be offended and hurt. I WILL hold it against you as a grudge.

But just for today. Any other day is fine.

(Lis double-dog-dared me to add, "Because if you're too chickenshit to take me off your friends list without some sort of lame-ass excuse like an 'amnesty day,' then I just don't see WHY I should NOT hold that against you.")

hahahahaha!!!
this friends-list amnesty day is IMHO a totally a ridiculous concept. If someone is going to get offended, they will regardless of what day it is anyhow!

Damn! I took some people off my friends list today without knowing it was some sort of touchy-feely friendship let's-not-hold-it-against-anyone day. Hrmph. Well, I'm not gonna go add them back just to spite the powers that be. Hrmph.

Gee, another Excuse To Wuss Out Day. Just what we needed!

Maybe I'll go randomly add everyone who's friended me recently just to cancel out some of the removals others are making.

Heh...someone I know took me off her friendslist recently, with a public post about "taking off people who don't comment enough, comment more and I'll add you back." Was I miffed? No, I was relieved, as she'd been perishingly boring for weeks, and now I could take her off my damn friends list without having to endure any whining!

No amnesty required. :)

this is meant with total lack of snark....

but really, why does everyone make such a big deal about friending and unfriending? I take people on and off my list at will, if they get boring and stay boring, poof, off the list. Nothing personal, just, well, changing prefernces of how much clutter I want around.

Calling them "friends" gives it more emotional oomph than it really deserves. ("What do you mean, I'm not your friend anymore?") If they called it "subscribing to a journal" and "privileged access" or something more emotionally neutral it wouldn't be a big deal.

On the other hand, I think the "friends" terminology may be part of what makes LJ feel more like a community thing than a blog thing.

I think I did the opposite and added you.

Woo!

Well, there are things such as bigamy laws... This doesn't mean we can't have a wild, passionate fling, however. : >
