Sure it's totally understandable if it's someone with whom you have had no contact for a year or two, but people who you still interact with every so often in the "real world"? It would be great if to counteract the whole passive-aggressivity of it that Facebook would at least notify you when you're being deleted and possibly also require the person to specify a reason so that the person deleted isn't left wondering if they said or did something offensive in real life to the person doing the deleting, or if it is just merely the person doing the deleting attempting to simplify their account and restrict their contact list to a few very close friends. Then again, if someone is just going to delete you from a "friend" list without even giving you a reason by either email or a real conversation.... maybe they weren't worth having as a "friend" to begin with.

Your ideas have a lot of validity. I hope you don't mind, but I am using some of your ideas in a mini essay for my university research writing class. I am giving you all the credit for the ideas.

I agree with much of what you've written here. (And now I know not to bite you anymore.) So, screw this IM and email stuff -- coffee sometime? Great post, Nicole.
