to think that people who moan about facebook

[Redpipe]

must either have added/accepted friends they don't like or expect their 'friends' to use it in exactly the same way that they do themselves or they don't know how to use the filter system (which is very basic).

In the time it takes to moan complain about facebook they could have changed their settings, so people who use it in a way that is not acceptable to them can be limited in their news feed.

It's not difficult is it?

Yep dreaming, most of my friends and family I'm so much happier without it!

Dreamingbohemian - you can choose to only get important updates from her, so that should cut out the viral stuff at least. Hover over her last annoying post, a downward arrow should appear and you can edit what updates you get there. I personally would totally unsubscribe, and just check on on her page now and then. Or better yet, don't look at all and just kerp knowing her as your fun, slightky kooky real life mate.

Ahhhh THANK YOU, I didn't know you could do that!! Brilliant.

Glad I could help prove the OP's point

AmiBambi Ithink your theory is right. Brilliantly put
