I am on a homeschool group with this one woman who is constantly sending questions that are completely off topic. Today it was does anyone know how to find the family of someone who is dead. Another time is was her selling raffle tickets from a group that several of us are in. We have been part of her entire birding experience, she asked where to find them, if anyone had a cage, anyone have any breeding boxes, when the birds had babies, and does anyone want some birds. In the past 20 emails only 1 or 2 has been on topic. <br /><br />Normally I don't mind the occasional off topic thing, some of them can get interesting, but this woman is going to drive me crazy. <br /><br />And yes, I can just delete but I would still have to take the time to delete them.Christihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16095540983427609774noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-59401977964371839412009-12-16T12:35:42.930-08:002009-12-16T12:35:42.930-08:00I had to hide my brother-in-law who is an aspiring...I had to hide my brother-in-law who is an aspiring rap artist and posts his lyrics literally 2-3 dozen times per day.

I've hidden several feeds for the very reasons you mentioned. (Twitch!)<br /><br />I don't mind political discussions, but when people start throwing out stuff that's just uneducated and inflammatory (and a constant stream of it), I can't take it anymore, regardless of which side it's coming from. What cracks me up is people who say stuff is unconstitutional when whatever they're discussing has nothing whatsoever to do with the Constitution--and if they'd ever READ the document, they'd know it.Annette Lyonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12493583432919249814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-473451605323410957.post-1759561511064520492009-12-16T09:16:45.138-08:002009-12-16T09:16:45.138-08:00If you're evil, then I'm the Devil's s...If you're evil, then I'm the Devil's spawn because I've hidden relatives.

And the automatic twitter updates drive me batty too.<br /><br />I don't mind when people post about their blog posts. I am guilty of that too - mostly because that lets my family and real life friends know that I've posted something. <br /><br />I didn't know you could hide the Farmville updates.

One was liberal and the other was conservative. The liberal one has an anger problem and likes to insult every conservative belief and offend all of his friends in one fell swoop. The conservative was whiny and uninformed. They both updated 105 times per day.<br /><br />I don't mind blog updates, but the giveaways bug me, too.<br /><br />I would just remove the people you don't know. They won't know you did it unless they keep a spreadsheet of all of their friends and keep track of their friend number or unless they totally stalk your page. I have a few like that that I thought I should know (mostly high school people) but really I don't.
