I have a mix of "friends" on Facebook, mostly I have met them in person or know them through assorted activities where we've maybe crossed paths but not met formally. Occasionally, I go through and prune / reorganize the list if the mood hits me. There have been times I've dropped 30-50 people just because I was going more personal w/ updates.

That said, the most "amusing" defending I noticed solely on a lack of status updates was over a religious debate. I shared something that apparently struck a chord around a particular holiday, yet it was a meme in current popular culture. When I noticed the unfriending, I just rolled my eyes and went with it.

Sometimes things just don't mesh even when you've known someone for years (as was this particular case). Online day to day antics are no replacement for in person relationships.
