Facebook "Block" Feature...Anyone Else Totally Love It?

I agree, I actually had alady I use to work with delete me off Facebook. I didnt notice, until a few weeks later when I noticed she didnt comment on everything and anything. I didnt say anything, and a few weeks after that I get a Facebook message asking me why I deleted her off Facebook. I knew since I didnt delete her that she deleted me. She tried argueing with me, then said she must of accidently deleted me. She added me again, and then a few weeks later she deleted me again. She tried adding me again, and I just blocked her. I didnt see her for about a year, and she tried talking to me I kept walking.

That's so crazy! I think it's absurd how people get so attached to facebook and when you delete or block someone they just get so upset and crazy. I had a similar situation with a person who went to school with my sister. She assumed I knew her and I accepted her friend request only to realize that she was very very emotional and openly so. I got sick of reading all of her posts in my feeds and seeing how ridiculous she was being with other friends posts and what not so I deleted her, thinking that would be enough. Later I got a message asking why I would do that and asking how I could be so rude and what not. Even after I kindly tried to tell her why I decided we didn't need to be facebook friends (never having been friends in real life!) she was so upset she sent me request after request until I too finally had to block her and avoid her! It's almost scary how attached people become with knowing what other people are posting!

Oh I hate that! I hate when someone actually approaches me and asks me why I deleted them on Facebook and then I'm faced with the dilemma of telling them how annoying and kind of scary they are for stalking me to a point where I NEEDED to delete them and block them!

Hi guyz, I have a doubt, will the person be notified if block them. I think they will not send notification to our friends if we un-friend them, na? Can anyone make it clear to me ?

I agree, emelizabeth! That way I'm sure I won't make the mistake of accidentally friending them again. I did warn them several times to stop posting inappropriate stuffs, they didn't listen, now I feel a lot 'cleaner' and fresh without them around! Wonderboy, I don't think FB would notify someone when you block them. It's kinda like twitter I think, where when you block someone would mean you automatically forced them to unfollow you. But if they bother to check their 'friends', I think they'll know it.

I know! Unfriending someone is somewhat liberating but blocking them is definitely the best!

Thanks! I did just join and I'm finally getting the hang of the whole system!

Yeah! I block people who are not friends with me but who always ask me about facebook things or who I suspect are creeping around on my page trying to see whats going on in my life!

totally! I hate when as soon as you log in someone's little chat box pops up. It's like there is no chance to even read anything before they're right there, in your face!

I couldn't have said it better! I came to a point when I finally had no spare time answering chats. That's when I researched how to block someone in FB. Poor guy, he met me in school and asked why I blocked him. And I really don't like answering the question so I said, "I don't know. I'm not the only one who can access my laptop and play with my online accounts." And that was my first freedom from I experienced from online nagging. And I have no regrets.

I didn't think about the bullying aspect! That's definitely a great point!
