Aggresive De-friending

Dear Cyber Sorter,
Recently several friends friends posted the following right wing prayer to their profiles;

"DEAR LORD, THIS YEAR YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTOR, PATRICK SWAYZIE. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE ACTRESS, FARAH FAWCETT. YOU TOOK MY FAVORITE SINGER, MICHAEL JACKSON. I JUST WANTED TO LET YOU KNOW, MY FAVORITE PRESIDENT IS BARACK OBAMA. AMEN"
In reaction I joined the group, "Petition to remove facebook group praying for President Obama's death"

Now they have ‘un-friended' me. I want them to know that I too want to un-friend them – but they got to it first. Should I just let it go or is there another way to let them know that they are in the wrong?

Thanks

J. R. Dublin


Dear J.R,
We will leave aside the fact that you were friends (allbeit online) with people whose favourite actor and singer were Farah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. Perhaps they had other qualities.

The fact is you have moved on from being online frenemies to outright enemies. So you have little to loose.
Send them fresh requests for friendship. Add a groveling note about how you have since found God , and how He has had a stern word with you about the necessity for Barak Obama to die.

If they accept your friendship request then revenge is your oyster. Spam their walls with clips from Bill Maher's documentary Religulous and post up Atheist society billboards. If you really want to aggravate them then ridicule the Fox news channel.
Then, before they get the chance, cut them off at the knees and defriend them. It can all be done in the satisfying space of 10 minutes.
Only you can be the judge of whether it is worth spending that much time on.
